Free walking tours in Sansibar

Ali was very professional and incredibly knowledgeable of the history and current affairs of Zanzibar. Part of the tour included the fruit, fish, meat and spice markets which was very interesting. We also explored the maze of alleyways and discovered the Omani and Indian influences with the design of the wooden doors. I usually do a free walking tour on my arrival in any new city and this one did not disappoint! Thanks so much Ali for a fabulous introduction to Zanzibar.

Ali gave a great tour! We appreciated learning about the historical context of Stonetown and learning about the local fruits and spices.😊

Great walking tour with Ali, very knowledgeable about Zanzibar and Stonetown. Lots of information and history, even gave us restaurant recommendations. Could answer all our questions.

Ali was a grear tour guide. His knowledge of New and Old Towns was evident with the information he shared. Ali also provided good tips of places for eating. Learned a lot from this walking tour and would definitely recommend it.

We had a great walking tour of Stone Town with Nassor. He was very friendly, easy to talk to, and extremely knowledgeable. The tour gave us a wonderful overview of the city, from its history and architecture to its vibrant streets and hidden corners. It was the perfect introduction to Stone Town, and we really appreciated Nassor’s insights and the way he brought the place to life. Highly recommended!

We had the tour only with us. We got a lot of information at all points. All questions been answered well Thank you for the tour.

We had a very good tour with Saida's friend, Happy Baby. We couldn't find her in the beginning (we went for the wrong entrance), but she waited for us and she was very kind. The tour was informative, professional and funny. Thank you

È stata un'esperienza inaspettata e molto coinvolgente. Abram è stata una guida simpatica ma allo stesso tempo molto professionale, raccontaci la storia della città con passione ed entusiasmo. Lo consiglierei a chiunque voglia scoprire la città. Ps. Parla un ottimo italiano

We had a great time on the walking tour, lots of interesting stops. Ali answered all of our questions in great detail and his English was very good and easy to understand.

I had an amazing walking tour of Stone Town with our guide, Abdalla. He was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and made the history of the city come alive as we wandered through the winding alleys. Abdalla explained the fascinating mix of cultures—Arab, Indian, and African—that shape Stone Town and shared so many stories about the spice trade, the Sultan’s palace, and the city’s important role in history. We explored lively markets, admired the beautiful carved doors, and even discovered hidden corners I would have never found on my own. What I loved most was Abdalla’s warm personality—he made the tour fun, engaging, and answered all our questions with so much patience and enthusiasm. If you are visiting Zanzibar, I highly recommend booking a walking tour with Abdalla. It’s the best way to experience the heart and soul of Stone Town

Nos ha encantado el tour. Fadhil ha mostrado gran conocimiento sobre la ciudad de Stone Town y en general sobre la isla de Zanzíbar. Hemos aprendido un montón sobre su historia y cultura. Ha sido un placer.

Really nice Tour!

Ali was brilliant, very informative and entertaining. Gave us great recommendations on place to have coffee and get some souvenirs.

Saida is a very good guide, that told us a lot not only about history, architecture and so on, but especially about culture and everyday life. We had many questions and she could answer all of them very well. Saida was also interested in us and adjusted the tour according to our personal interests. We highly recommend the tour!

Great tour and tour guide! Highly recommended

Nasser was great - friendly and knowledgeable! He has a great smile that makes you feel welcome! He was prompt, efficient and answered all our questions. He also speaks very good English - very easy to understand.

Esperienza molto carina! Abra una brava guida! Si consiglia di visitare Stone Town con un tour

We had an exceptional experience exploring Stone Town thanks to our walking tour guide, Nassor. His deep knowledge of Zanzibar’s history—from the original slave market and vibrant fish auction to the architectural beauty of the city’s famous carved doors—made every stop meaningful and engaging. Nassor shared captivating stories about the island’s rulers, Sultan’s palace, and the cultural legacy that makes Zanzibar so unique. He navigated us through the Spice Market, helped us discover local favorites, and pointed out hidden gems we never would have found on our own. Nassor made sure everyone stayed comfortable and energized. He was not only informative but also friendly, approachable, and genuinely passionate about sharing his home with visitors. We came away with a much richer understanding of Zanzibar, and can wholeheartedly recommend Nassor to anyone wanting an insightful and memorable walking tour of Stone Town!

Tour professionale e informativo. Alla fine nassor poteva spiegare un po’ di piu del mercato notturno.

Nassor was a great guide around Stone Town in Zanzibar. He knows a lot about culture, architecture and food. We enjoyed the tour.

Great tour with Nassor! We really enjoyed spending this 2-hours tour with him and highly recommend to get a first introduction of the city. Come with questions, he will know the answers!
