Perfect tour, can highly recommend this tour. The guide at the spice-farm spoke good english, he was funny and had a lot of knowledge. The driver - Rashid - was the nicest person we have ever met, perfect english, good conversation, on time, patient, and very service-minded. We can recommend Rashid for everybody who need any type of tour or transport in Zanzibar!!

We had an incredible driver Rashid who was very knowledgeable about Zanzibar and added to the experience of our trip. The Spice Your is a 'must do' as part of your trip to Zanzibar, combined with an incredible driver that went above and beyond helped to make this a memorable experience!

Outstanding service. I was a solo traveler, and Rashid organized for me airport pickup and drop-off PCR Test, Spice tour, and swimming with dolphins. He was always on time, and I felt very safe going around Zanzibar with him. A trustworthy person who really cares about his clients.

If you want to visit an must-see place on the island, Zanzibar Spice Tour with Rashid and Zola Zanzibar Tours & Taxi is definitely worth recommendation 👍!
Best service, great Ali guide on site and superb package of exotic, tropical spices which you can try directly from the tree or a bush.

Rachid drove us around multiple times at a fair price. He owns a large and comfortable vehicle and gladly tells you about the history of Zanzibar (he studied history at university). His stories are very clear and it really adds value to your stay to learn more about Zanzibar’s past.
Rachid organized our Covid-19 testing and collected out test results before driving us to the airport (easy alternative compared to going yourself). Also, he set up a nice Stonetown and Prison Island tour for us.
Would definitely recommend!

Rashed is a great driver and tour guide. He helped me a lot and showed me many things in Zanzibar. He knows the area very well and he well connected. His car is very nice and clean and he is always on time. I highly recommend him for you.

Rashid is a perfect driver. Always responds very fast to Messages and so I also could ask him for suggestions to various topics ( dress code in Stone Town or departure tax). He is always on time, speaks very good english and it is interessting to talk with him about the island. His car is comfortable with enough space and air condition.

Rashid aka Zola Zanzibar Taxi was our driver and guide during our two week stay in Zanzibar. We stayed in three different locations on the island and Zola Taxi collected us and brought us our next destination each time and also brought us to the airport. He is a great driver and very punctual. During our trips he also taught us a lot about Zanzibar and life on the island. I would highly recommend Rashid to travellers for any services you need while on the island. He went above and beyond the call of duty to ensure we had everything we needed. Thank you Rashid

What can I say. Rashid is professional, timely, and flexible and an excellent driver. We used him to drive us to and from the airport and jambiani but he studied history too so can give you information on Zanzibar history as well! Back to the professional, timely and flexible part. He shows up early for all appointments and is easy to communicate by WhatsApp. He responds right away.
In a country where it can be hard to figure out transportation (and without services like Uber!) there’s peace of mind in knowing you have a reliable guide or driver you can trust. When we changed our plans Rashid was SO flexible and went out of his way to get us. When there was a torrential rainstorm in jambiani, Rashid managed to pick us up in this off the beaten path restaurant that was not accessible by foot since all the roads were flooded. Serious props to Rashid for zooming up to the restaurant entrance somehow! Thanks again Rashid for making our Zanzibar trip so easy!
