Overview

Hi travelers!

I'm Ally, a local tour guide in Zanzibar. I'm excited to invite you to join my Stone Town walking tour. This is a great way to explore the UNESCO-listed historic center of Zanzibar City and learn about its rich history and culture.

On the tour, we'll visit some of Stone Town's most famous landmarks, including the House of Wonders, the Old Fort, the Sultan's Palace, and the Former slave market site. We'll also wander through the narrow streets and alleyways, taking in the sights, sounds, and smells of this vibrant city.

I'll share stories about Stone Town's past, from its early days as a trading port to its role as a center of the slave trade. I'll also talk about the city's unique architecture, which reflects its diverse cultural influences.
