Adam was absolutely amazing! He shared so much about the local culture, food, language, and everyday life in such an engaging way. He even took us for a bit of shopping, and lunch was absolutely delicious. Adam’s sense of humor made the experience even better. This was an unforgettable trip, we’d do this tour again and again!

The tour with Adam through the villlage Jambiani was one of the most interesting experiences for us (German family with teenage kids): we learned so much about everyday life, with charming personal explanations. We saw private homes, the school, and food culture. And Adam is a well known football player here and took us to a local game.

We had great Jambiani Tour with Adam, who lives in Jambiani. We visited nursery school with lovely chirdren who sang a few ons in English for us, and gave as "hi five". We were in Adam house and some other places, where Adam took us, also at the beach, where we learnt about fishermen job and job of women planting alges. Adam told us many interesting stories about their everyday life and was andwering all our questions. We saw lots of peole in the village and could see how they live, cook or have fun (children). We also tries a coconut straight from the forest, that Adam friend picked from us (first he must have climbed on 20m palm tree). We ended the trip by the huge baobab tree. I definietly recommend Jambiani tour and I highly recommend Adam as a tour gide. Adam knows English fluently.
