Hi everyone I'm Eddie from Paje Zanzibar east cost join me for the safe ride and honest price picking you up from airport or ferry Port to your destination
Reviewed By peppermint - Hastings, United Kingdom
We used Eddie through a recommendation on trip advisor so thought it only fair to re post a review following our experience. Eddie collected us from the airport and also took us back there five days later. Both occasions he was bang on time and his driving is very safe. Lastly we did a day trip with Eddie which included stone town, spice tour and the jungle tour. Quite a long day but was very enjoyable and very good value for money. Bonus in using Eddie is that he has Wi-fi in the car and provides some free water. Don’t hesitate to use his services, would highly recommend

The prices are fixed and totally predictable from the start. No unexpected add-ons. We contracted a driver for three trips and a guide for a walking tour, via email before we ever left home. We paid partial by credit card, the balance with cash on arrival. Our driver was always right on time, enthusiastically using his English and eager to learn more, while teaching us more Swahili. Wish I'd written his name down, but he said he was the one main driver. We also happened to meet his boss who was very cheerful and friendly. Stronlgy recommend this company

We heard about Zan Island Taxi via Trip advisor and made contact with Othman via email. He was fast at responding to our queries and the booking process for our airport transfers was fast, and simple with competitive pricing. Othman is a lovely man who takes great pride in his business and pays great attention to detail to ensure that he meets the requirements of his clients. He has vast knowledge which he willingly shares about the island to help you plan your stay and provides great insights into the best places to visit and see during your trip. Throughout our stay Othman kept in regular contact with us via WhatsApp ensuring we were safe and asking if there was anything, he could do to help us. This was very reassuring especially if there were any last-minute changes to our plans we always knew that Othman would be on hand to help us and make the necessary arrangements to help us get around. Despite the name Zan Island Taxis is not just a taxi service they also provide tailored end to end tours and experiences. So If you are looking for a professional and stress free way to experience the many things on offer in Zanzibar I highly recommend using Zan Island Taxi to take all the unnecessary stress out of making your own arrangements. We asked them to arrange for us: - The Blue Safari Tour This is a half-day excursion which was organised seamlessly and provided endless opportunities to relax and just enjoy the magnificent beauty of the waters surrounding Zanzibar. This tour included return transfers from our hotel, boat transfers, excursion across the seas to the blue lagoon with its still crystal clear waters (a natural swimming pool), a BBQ lunch on the island, visit to to the dessert island in the middle of the sea and ample time for snorkelling (all equipment included) in the beautiful waters. . - Tour of Stone Town This was a fantastic half day tour around the UNESCO town with a local guide providing fantastic insights into the rich history of the town and tours of all the back streets and significant points of interest. The tour included return transfers from the hotel, guide and entrance fee to museum of slaves and the palace. - Tour of Prison Island A gentle and relaxing ride across the waters from Stone Town to Prison Island on a local dhow (boat) followed by a fun time learning about and feeding the giant tortoise. The island has a beautiful stretch of beach and crystal waters which made a great place for watching the sunset. The tour included boat transfers, entrance fee to view the tortoise and local guide. - Trip to Nungwi Village A great opportunity to experience the hustle and bustle of local life in the heart of tourist centre of the island. The village rests on the most beautiful stretch of beach with calm waters with no low or high tides perfect for enjoying the beautiful waters. This trip included return transfers from our hotel. - Trip to Mnemba Island This excursion was by far the highlight of our trip as there is a sure opportunity to swim up close with the many dolphins as well as exploring the vast array of aquatic life around the reefs. The tour included return transfers from our hotel, return boat transfers from the island, all snorkelling equipment and refreshments. Our tours were organised and facilitated by Othman and his colleague Abdul who did not disappoint to deliver excellent quality service. Both of them are such lovely people and really help to make your experience trouble free, seamless and overall enjoyable. All the tours were arranged swiftly with great communication and time management to ensure that we were never late so that we made the most of the time available to enjoy the tour and the full experience at hand.
