Essential Free walking tours of Zanzibar

Ali is very patient and professional. He’s really informative and took us along a good route to see some interesting areas and things. Highly recommend

Nassor was fantastic! A super nice guy, professional but also funny. I recommend him to anyone who’a looking for a guide in Stone Town

Really interesting

I think Saida has a few different guides that work with her, and I was lucky to get Aziza. She was terrific! Very informative, knew her history of Zanzibar and Stonetown inside and out, and answered my many many questions. But Aziza also provided really great insight on modern life and recent history coving topics like religion, politics, and social life here during the tour. You'd be lucky to get her too!

We had a fantastic walking tour of Stone Town with Mohammed. He was extremely knowledgeable and brought the history, culture, and daily life of Zanzibar to life in a clear and engaging way. Muhammad was friendly, patient, and happy to answer all our questions as we explored the streets and historic sites. He also assisted us in arranging transport afterward, which made everything smooth and stress-free. We would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Stone Town and especially recommend Mohammed as a guide.

Best tour of Stone Town!! Our guide was super knowledgeable and personable the entire time — 5 stars fully deserved ⭐️ It’s such a comprehensive history of the place, and we could ask a lot of questions. Highly recommended!!

Wonderfull tour of Stone Town. Recommanded to everyone 110%!

Wir hatten einte tolle Tour mit Husna nur für uns zwei. Sie war super nett und gab uns so viele interessante Infos zur Geschichte und Kultur Zanzibars und Stonetown. Im alten Fort besuchten wir auch eine kleine Musikschule und bekamen ein paar Lieder zu hören. Vielen Dank Husna für die tolle persönliche Führung! Alles Gute!

Mohammed was a great guide! We had the best time with him through Stone Town!

Great tour of Stonetown with Mohammed. He was interesting to listen to and keen to answer questions that arose too..Thank you for a great introduction to Stonetown Mohammed!

Mohammed was very informative, provided a lot of historical details and we explored the whole of Stone Town. Thank you very much!

Mohammad is a very friendly and professional guide, I enjoy the tour and learn a lot about the history of stone town

Mohammed was amazing. He is a very good at what he does. I got lots of information. I would highly recommend him.

Great walking tour with a lovely guide! Mohammed was very friendly and knowledgable. We found out a lot about the history of Zanzibar, as well as what life is like today. I would definitely recommend this tour.

If you ever find yourself wandering the winding alleys of Stone Town and want more than just Google Maps and prayers, book a tour with Mohammed. I was the only participant that day — which for many guides might be an excuse to cancel. Not for Mohammed. He showed up with a smile, the energy of a full group, and the knowledge of a historian who secretly moonlights as Wikipedia. Every tiny question I asked — and I asked many — he answered with genuine passion. His stories were vivid, his humor effortless, and his kindness absolutely real. Mohammed didn’t just guide me through Stone Town; he made me feel it. The culture, the history, the hidden corners — all of it delivered with warmth and an infectious love for his city. If you want a tour that feels like walking with a very informed, very funny friend: Mohammed is your guy.

Ali was an amazing guide and host. He showed us around at our own pace, answered all our questions and gave some good tid bits on the history of Zanzibar island

Great tour, the guide was very knowledgeable and helpful!

If you’re in Stone Town and don’t book a walking tour with Mohammed, you’re seriously missing out. He’s part historian, part storyteller, and part comedian. In just two hours, he took us through winding alleys, past colourful doorways, spice-scented markets, and hidden corners we’d never have found ourselves. He kept the tour engaging, fun, and full of fascinating facts.

Mohammed was a really great guide. Very kind, very patient, very entertaining. Great sense of humour. We got the chance to learn a lot about Zanzibar's history, culture and politics. An amazing experience! Do not hesitate in booking the tour. Thanks a lot Mohammed!!

Saida was super warm, welcoming and friendly. I enjoyed her calm energy to feel grounded and calm on a hot, loud, hectic Sunday noon. She took time to tell and answer questions. All in all it was a well spent time, I learned a lot, and most of all I cheer for her, that she's doing what she is doing to empower women. Asante Saida and be safe

Mohammed was friendly and very motivated to tell all about the history of stone town. We had a nice walking tour. Would recommend to everyone visiting stone town.
