Overview

Step back in time and discover the rich history, culture, and heritage of Zanzibar on a fascinating guided tour through Stone Town, the island’s historic heart and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This walking tour takes you through a maze of narrow streets lined with beautifully carved wooden doors, ancient Arab houses, bustling markets, mosques, churches, and historical landmarks that tell the story of Zanzibar’s unique blend of African, Arab, Indian, and European influences.

During the tour, you will visit some of Stone Town’s most famous attractions, including the historic former Slave Market, the Anglican Cathedral, Darajani Market, the Old Fort, and the House of Wonders. You will also have the opportunity to see the birthplace of legendary musician Freddie Mercury and learn about Zanzibar’s important role in the spice trade and Indian Ocean commerce.
