      While it's important to tip well, it's also important to tip appropriately. Tipping can really throw off a local economy if it's out of whack.

    Greetings, Phil! So happy that you took Harry's tour, you always support locals. He's has so much knowledge of the area, the best guide. I'll definitely look him up when I visit Zanzibar. We had a local guy in Havana, Cuba that walked and showed us a lot over several days. Cheers, Bebe in Arizona USA 😃❤✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

    Nostalgic watching this. Kuddos to Harry, the tour guides there are actually amazing. A 1 or 2 hour walk can feel like 20 mins. They have catchy stories I must say, fun ideas and suggestions. Thanks for the content and amazing work you put into telling the 'unplanned' story!

      I really enjoyed your video. My daughter and I were there a few short weeks ago, and we loved every minute of it - we actually stayed at the Swahili House too. The people there were so friendly, as was everyone we met on the island. It was great seeing all the familiar sights of Stone Town, but it made me sad also. If I could have found a way to stay in Zanzibar I would have.

      but he gave him ONLY $10.00
      Harry did the tour because HUMANITY was worth more than $ 20.00 ( he has 2 houses he did not need his 20.00 to eat) it was a favor to him.
      this guy decided that HUMANITY was not worth $20.00. Knew the Harry's knowledge was worth a million bucks and did not waiver.

      👎 AFRICAN GOVERNMENT SHOULD ASK ITS SELF is it worth their humanity having these people around them?
      i felt disgusted. because RUclips is not going give him 10 bucks. Harry made the content from 0 to 100 in value.

    Oh wow. I was glued to the set throughout this episode. I admit I sometimes skimp on watching as I never have enough time. But I had to see all of this video. The narrow streets, the spices, the hotel with the semi-collapsed walls, so so very nice. It looks like everyone is after making a buck on you, but you know how to deescalate the situation. Good job again. See you in the next one.

    • @philbland
      @philbland  2 года назад +1

      Let’s get things straight, so far this year I’ve spent $18,000 of my savings and risked that money making content for you every 2-3 days travelling across 3 countries by bus.
      I’ve earned $3,000 from RUclips so far in 6 months with no guarantee the views won’t drop if I don’t keep working hard.
      For this video I needed to film, edit, download from editing software, upload to RUclips, search engine optimise, distribute, and respond to your and everyone else’s comments. All of these other steps take another 10 hours or more for each video.
      Harry seemed like a cool guy and knew his stuff and I was so happy he walked me around for 45 minutes.
      That said, he got to promote his service to my audience for free and I paid him $10 which he agreed to (no1 forced him). It is part of the culture in Africa to bargain / negotiate.
      Regardless, my central point, is that it’s easy for you and others to sit back and watch my videos and then shit on my hard work by investing 30 seconds and no money writing an angry comment like this one.
      I’d encourage you to think about what you can do that is useful and positive (like risk your life savings to show people around countries they’ve never seen for example) instead of taking the lazy virtue signalling path of hating my videos in the comment section to make yourself feel like you’ve contributed something. You’re not fooling anyone, put in the hard work.

      Hey 👋🏻 appreciate all the support! Best way to contact me is here in the comment section I’m not really keeping track of my DMs. I think the issue is either your phone camera doesn’t have stabilisation build in or you’re not using a selfie stick or gimble. Check your phones camera settings and or buy a selfie stick if you don’t use one. I’m not really an expert on this though 😂. Thanks for watching and commenting ❤️ 🙏🏻
