Posted on Jess RTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Had a great few days with Nassor around Zanzibar. Even though we were a large group of adults the car was very comfortable & spacious, with seatbelts for everyone. Nassor was very knowledgeable & informative, and took us safely to some very out of the way locations (Bwejuu mangrove kayaking, Mangapawni beach) without being a bit fased. Very glad we had him navigating the crazy traffic for us!!Posted on Michel BuchnerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Nassor (Ronaldo) is a great laid back personality telling you all kinds of nice information about the area, the people and its customs.
