Best and most comfortable taxi and tour service in Zanzibar for sure! All drivers were welcoming, friendly, knowledgeable and professional, good guides, we enjoyed to the max.Ordering was simple by Whatsapp since it’s easiest way to contact any service on the island.Cars are very clean, comfortable, water in the car and on our way bought all the fruits and beverages. Prices compared to others are very competitive, possible to pay in many currencies.Thank You so much for unforgettable tours and service! Until the next time ☀️Asante!

Very professional and friendly staff. Clean and comfortable cars for the tours and in the best prices a tourist can get in Zanzibar. We had a lot of fun and we really enjoyed our trip. Thanks to our wonderful driver for the music playlist selection on the road as well!!!

Very reliable taxi service. We booked all our trips for 3 weeks with friendly taxi, they were never late, on the contrary, 30min here in advance most of the time. Lukman and his team were also very nice and never missed a chance to explain us Zanzibars history when we were passing a place or a a monument. Thank you guys!

Excellent services! Lukman and his team were always punctual (they actually arrived 15-30 mins ahead of confirmed time) and friendly. Safe driving, responsiveness, helpful… lovely group! I can’t recommend them enough.

I was taking it super easy, so I didnt have a taxi arranged beforehand. All in all, it might have been a mistake to not plan in advance, but I like going with the flow and unforeseen adventures, so, as usual, I got lucky - I stumbled upon Lukman at the airport when I arrived and it was all about positive emotions from there on.All the guys in the Friendly Taxi team (Lukman, Ali, Iddi, Abuu, etc) were excellent. Punctual, polite, smart, knowledgeable and whats most important - easygoing and fun.I had airport transfers and a daytrip with them (Spice + Prison Island + Stone Town) and during all these rides and trips there were lots of laughs and also... history and language lessons :D I think now Im almost fluent in swahili. Ha!No matter who the guide or driver was - everyone was very poa kichizi kamandiiiizi :DMy whole Zanzibar trip was just awesome and I have to say a warm Thank you to the FTaT team for being a part of the good times.

I contacted Lukman via WhatsApp about a week prior arriving Zanzibar to have our transfer arranged from the airport to the hotel and everything worked more than perfect as agreed upfront.We also did the Stone Town tour (Iddi as driver and Abuu as guide) and when it unfortunately was time to leave Zanzibar, Lukman’s brother took us back to the airport safely and on time as all our experiences with Lukman and his team. Communication via WhatsApp is super easy and responsive.Asante sana and hopefully karibu tena soon!! :)

We were travelling with guys everytime we needed a drive to somewhere in Zanzibar because drivers are really nice, friendly and talkative (ina a good way) :) we had the opportunity to travel with Lukman (boss), Sulejman and Iddy :) such a nice all of them. During the transfer they can tell you more about the island, culture, cousine, sightseeing, etc.also the prices are reasonable and you can always count of them (e.g. when you say meet me at 10am, the driver will be there 9:45am. always at least 10-15min prior :) )I wish you guys best of luck because youre doing it great !see you next time we will visit Zanzibar

Luukman is so, so amazing — professional, well priced, incredibly accommodating, and so kind. We used his service for two transfers, from Stone Town (our hotel) to Nungwi and then a few days later from Nungwi to the airport. He greeted us both times with a huge smile and amazing service. He was so easy to coordinate with through WhatsApp. Could not have asked for a better service to use. HIGHLY recommend him & his colleagues for your every Zanzibar need!

Lukman was first and last person I met in Zanzibar, when doing transfers from and to airport. His attitude, that everything is possible, is so uplifting 😃 I took many excursions through Lukman and his teammates Suleiman, Ali etc were also all nice people 🙂 And all was happening on the exactly right time, as spoken before. So I had very good experience in this paradise island 🙂 Hakuna Matata! 🌞🐱

Lukman was an absolutely incredible driver! My flight got canceled, and there was a lot of chaos at the airport, and he just so happen to be there. My dad was hesitant of me taking a taxi alone, since I had spent the whole trip with my boyfriend, but Lukman reassured the safety and protection that I would have. He took me back-and-forth from the hotel multiple times, even when I had lost my luggage. Great prices, great heart, and great service! I wish I would’ve met him at the beginning of my trip, but when we return, he will be our number one transportation choice in Zanzibar!

We took a lot of tours in the 2 (two) weeks we visited Zanzibar. All of the tours were wonderful. Our drivers got us to our tours on time and they answered all of our questions. Lukman was the best driver and Safari Blue and the spice tour at Paradise Spice Farm were my favorite. The beach was awesome. Thanks for all you help friendliness and recommendations. Hope to return again and use Friendly Taxi and Tours. I have been recommending you to so many and will continue to do so.

I had an amazing experience with their service in January while in Zanzibar. I have recommended the company to many friends (despite COVID) so that when we get through this season and the world opens up, people have a highly rated, experience-based referral to reference for all your needs related to Zanzibar.I was extremely pleased with the city tour and the services offered. There were three of us on the customized experiment and we have zero regrets other than the fact that we wishes we had more time that day for more tours with them.Everything from the transportation to the communication and the tour guide and the information provided was stellar.Do yourself a favor, BOOK with them today and confidently refer their service to your family and friends.Tony - USA

Lukman and his friends/colleagues are very trustworthy. They helped me with my covid test for my flight and it went extremely smooth. Dont look any further for transport in Zanzibar. Always on time, great prices, reliable and friendly

After 16 hours of travel we finally arrived at Zanzibar Airport, only to find that our pre-arranged driver wasnt there to pick us up. With no possibility to make a phone call we were basically stranded. While we waited for almost an hour we were approached by many taxi drivers looking to make easy money off our situation.The only person who offered us real help was Lukman of Friendly Taxi & Tours. Instead of harassing us with good price, my friend like the others, he offered to make a phone call for us. While we were suspicious at first, we soon realized that Lukman was really there to help. We ended up driving to the hotel with him after he tried his best to contact the missing driver and even waited with us for another twenty minutes.Turns out driving with Friendly Taxi & Tours was a fantastic decision. The drive to the hotel was very pleasant. We had several laughs when Lukman told us about the places we passed, the local history (ask him about Behole), and how life on Zanzibar is. What looked to be a bad start into our holidays turned out to be a very nice one.After booking a roundtrip to Stonetown some time later, we decided to also book our final dropoff at the airport with Friendly Taxi & Tours. We had to leave the hotel at 03:00 AM, and, reliable as ever, Lukman was there to pick us up.If you are looking for someone you can trust to be there for you, Friendly Taxi & Tours is the best address. Highly recommended. Looking forward to seeing Lukman and his collegues again when we return to Zanzibar.

I found the best taxi driver in Zanzibar! Lukman handled my roundtrip airport transportation and several tours for me. Hes always on time and gives great, friendly service. Later, when comparing with others, I found out he has cheap prices too. Great driver and excellent prices on a beautiful island.

Amazing!He is the Man for you in Zanzibar! If you need a ride or even better, if you wanna go on a tour, Make Sure you contact him in advance via email or WhatsApp.He’s not only a good driver but also reliable, knowledgeable and very funny! The price is unbeatable as well!!!We met him first on our way from the airport to the Hotel & then quickly realized that he would also be a great tour-guide. We booked the tour & to our surprise, his co-worker Salim showed up because Lukman had an emergency & didn’t want to cancel our tour, knowing we only had a day left on the Island. Initially disappointed, we quickly realized that Salim was just as amazing , knowledgeable & fun to tour around with!We had an awesome day in Stonetown & Prison Island with the giant turtles! At the end of the day we we met Lukman who then drove us back to the Hotel!I would totally recommend Lukman...the only thing we regret is not taking photos with Lukman & Salim!Thank you guys for making our short stay in Zanzibar fun & unforgettable!

The only taxi and tour guide you need! Lukman is charming, funny, professional and knowledgable. Even if it is only a 10 min journey he will tell you the history of the places you pass. He was always early or on time. His driving is pretty good. He will even teach you a little swahili along the way - Poa kichizi kama ndizi ;)Honestly, cannot recommend enough and hope to visit again.Wishing you well from the UK :)Asante sana

Lukman drove us from the airport to our hotel and from Stonetown to our hotel, and we couldn’t have wished for a better driver. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

If you are looking for a tourguide in Zanzibar go for Lukman and his friendly and knowledgeable crew. We did a spice tour and visited the jozani forest. Everything went out really well to our fullest satisfaction. If you need any further transport they are ready to arrange everything for you. Asante sana, we had a really good time!

Lukmaan approached us as soon as we arrived at the airport to offer us services. We called on him for all our other trips during our stay (Nungwi, Jambiani, stonetown…). Some reduction after several races.He is very reactive by whatsapp, the discussion is easy with him, the prices are honest. The drivers are great, always on time and dont hesitate to introduce us to the city. I recommend

I was in Zanzibar for 5 weeks and every time I took a taxi from “Friendly Taxi & Tours”. Most of the time, Lukman drove me. Definitely the best taxi rides on the island. Super friendly, always on time, air-conditioned cars, clean and a price that didnt make you feel ripped off. They even always came in with me and made sure that I arrived safely at my hotel and only then did they leave again. If Im in Zanzibar again, then I would choose you again 🚗🚗Thank you for making sure I got from A to B as a girl traveling alone. 😊

Nice team and reasonable prices. I liked that the car was very clean and smelled nice. The driver was polite, there were booklets with suggestions in his pockets. From Stone Town to Kizimkazi paid $ 30. (70,000 shillings).

Excellent service, we chose a friendly taxi on recommendation and we were very satisfied. They always came to pick us up on time, the prices were very pleasant and on the way to the airport Lukmaan told us the history of Zanzibar. I highly recommend.
