The best guide!
Right after we booked through the app ali made contact and sent information about the tour. Ali contacted again before to make sure we know where to meet him, and arrived the spot earliar. He orgenised the tour professionally with no loose ends, had very interesting stories and explainations with great english. Although the tour its not fully adjusted to do with a baby, he made sure it would be easy for us. We recommend him and sure we will use his service again. Thank you ali!

Excellent And Supportive Guide
To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to express our sincere appreciation for the exceptional guided tour of Prison Island provided by Ali Polepole. Ali was a truly outstanding guide. He was engaging, highly informative, and made our tour very interesting. He patiently answered all our questions and readily offered to take our photos, suggesting the best viewpoints for memorable shots. His respectful demeanor and extensive knowledge of the island were evident throughout the tour. He also provided us with a great deal of useful advice. We had a wonderful experience, largely thanks to Ali's excellent guidance. Sincerely, Tessa Carolissen from South Africa
