After reading the great reviews of Eco & Culture Tours here on TripAdvisor, I contacted Robert about arranging hotel and tours in Stone Town. I sent the email from my couch here in San Francisco and to my surprise, 15 minutes later Robert responded! That was good sign :) Robert was prompt and flexible in tailoring our trip. I was... More

Stayed in Stone Town for 3 nights and, based on recommendations, used Eco & Culture Tours - Fair to say you could get the tours cheaper elsewhere but it's also fair to say, you get what you pay for with E&C!! First 2 tours were with Taibi - Excellent guide - Stone Town walking tour on day 1 and then... More

We signed up for a spice tour with Eco and had a fun time with our guide Ally Baba and his assistant George. Ally picked us up at the hotel and we then drove about a half hour to a spice plantation. We then wandered around the plantation while ally explained all of the different spice plants there. George cut... More

We had an awful run with with Trinity Tours nearby, which our hotel had recommended. Avoid at all costs. Robert and crew saved us and got us a great last minute safari that was all as they said it would be. Last minute, they were flexible. The other operator had done a bait and switch, and switched after booking and... More

I had almost given up on finding an affordable tour operator by the time I found Eco Tours. Not only were they able to accommodate my budget but they came up with an itinerary based on the suggestions I put forward and included venues and activities that I specifically asked for. Robert, the main contact, was extremely prompt and efficient... More

There we had very nice lodges a little bit outside the parks but still very close. Our guides were very competent with really good eyes regarding spotting animals. Also our hotel on Zanzibar war really beautiful and on... More

During our three week holiday on Zanzibar Island, we spent our first three days in Stone Town and decided to take some of the traditional tours before exploring the four corners of the island. We found Eco & Culture Tours on the web and in our guide, and we contacted them. They were very quick to respond to our many... More

We visited Zanzibar in September 2011 and is was a fantastic experience. We were met by the guide Musa at the airport and from the first moment he started educating us about Zanzibar. We had a walking tour in Stone Town and it was very educational. If you are staying in Zanzibar I can highly recommend the Stone Town walking... More
