What You Will Do
Explore Stone Town, the atmospheric cultural and historical heart of Zanzibar City, on this 3-hour walking tour with a guide. Constructed from coral stone in the 19th and 20th centuries, Stone Town was declared a UNESCO World Heritage site in 2000.
Stone Town is a very lively place where you’ll find a mixture of Arabic, African, Indian and European cultures living comfortably together. As you walk through the labyrinth of streets too narrow for cars to pass, you can see mosques, churches and temples side by side.
While you wonder around the city, your guide will take you on a historical and cultural journey through the old slave market, Darajani market place, the Old Fort and the Sultan’s Palace.
Forodhani Gardens is definitely worth a visit, especially at night when it comes alive as one of the best street food markets in East Africa.
Tour can include a lunch in a restaurant or in a local house, if booked beforehand.
