"Beach Boys" Top 5 Page for this destination Zanzibar Town Warnings Or Dangers Tip by PierreZA

Beach Boys (also called ‘ticks’) are men wanting to act as your guide in Stone Town, organize trips and take you to shops where they get commission. In Stone Town they can actually become quite a nuisance and difficult to get rid of. I have tried my best to stay polite, but some of them are really very pushy. They were totally different to the beach boys we came across on the eastern coast, where they were friendly and not pushy at all.
