Essential Free walking tours of Zanzibar

Guide spoke good English. I’ve been on many “free” walking tours and this one was probably a little above average. Guide was fairly enthusiastic and engaging.

Tour muy útil cómo punto de partida para conocer los principales sitios de interés de la ciudad. Mohamed ha sido muy amable y ha respondido a la infinidad de preguntas que le hemos hecho. Esperamos verle también de guia en nuestra próxima visita a la isla de Pemba. 😉 Muchas gracias!

Very good overview of Stone Town! You get to see a lot in two hours and Ali is a good source of information.

A great tour of Stone tour. Gives you ideas for further walking.

Really enjoyed the walking tour; it ended up just being my wife and me. Good, quiet trip around the central city and explanation about the history.

Stone Town is very interesting,but you need a guide like Mohammed to give you a history lesson & the many countries that make Zanzibar & Stone Town what it is today. All the best for your future Mohammed

Mohammed is the best! He is very passionate about the city and his way of telling about everything is very entertaining. We had a really good time. Mohammed asked us what we wanted to see during the tour. We highly recommend him!

Really good guide with lots of info to learn. We were only two and it was really great.

Ali speaks good english. Could explain a lot about fruit, fish, spices etc. We also learned about the history of Stonetown. He also showed us the famous doors and the differenses between them. Most recommended!

My daughter and I had a two and a half hour tour with Mohammed and it was interesting and entertaining the whole way through. He showed us a variety of landmarks significant to the history and culture behind Zanzibar and it was highly informative ☺️ Asante sana

Omar was very knowledgeable and patient and overall the tour was great! Would recommend!

He ha encantado el tour con Saida, una joven gran profesional. Me ha respondido a todo y me ha ayudado mucho en mi primer día en Stone Town. Pensé que el tour estaba más enfocado al papel de la mujer en Stone Town, pero aún así, me ha sorprendido mucho la historia de la isla contada por Saida!

It was a great tour and our guide brought a lot of interesting facts and dates which was very nice to put together with history of Stone Town. Great tour! Thank you

Good information and knowledgeable guide.

Mohammed was a great guide and very knowledgeable. He walked us through the Stone town, and told us many facts about the history of the town and island. It was a very local experience of all the sights of the town and he even organised an airport transfer for us afterwards. We would 100% recommend Mohammed.

We really enjoyed our tour. It was a great introduction to Stone Town. Mohammed gave us lots of information about the history of settlement and how this related to the places we visited. He explained everything clearly and it was well paced.

Ali is so really professional , I loved this tour ❤️

Very interesting tour. It's nice to see Zanzibar at dusk/night and the night market is a plus. Nassor is very nice and experienced. Recommended :)

We had a great time with Mohammed on this tour, he was very detailed and informative, gave us time to see all the places relevant to history of Zanzibar, even through the local market. Would recommend definitelly

Our Stone Town tour with Mohamed was fantastic. In just three hours, he guided us through the key landmarks and gave us a wealth of background knowledge. His expertise and warm personality made the experience truly special. We would happily tour with him again and highly recommend Mohamed to anyone visiting Stone Town.

Had a great afternoon in stone town and learned a lot

Great tour experience in the streets of Stonetown (or as they say in Zanzibar, Oldtown). I would totally recommend for newcomers into the island, as it gives you all the basic information you need to understand life, culture and history of Zanzibar!

I ended up being the only one on the tour which was really nice because I got to ask a lot of questions to Nassor. He was very patient and told me a lot about the history of not only stone town but zanzibar and tanzania as well! Nassor is a chill guy and very friendly! I had a great time and really learned a lot.

Nassur was great - very knowledgeable and informative; he answered all our questions (and we had a lot!). He was there on time, helpful, accepted requests along the way, communicating where and where we were going next; great English. Great guy all around, highly recommend!

My partner and I did a Stone Town tour with Nassor and we were very impressed with his knowledge. We booked a tour with him the night before and he provided clear communication about where to meet and the time prior to the walk. He took us to historic buildings and through the markets, and answered all of our questions while also offering to take us to see certain parts more in depth when we showed interest. He was incredibly friendly and polite, and we loved the tour! If you’re looking for a guide we would highly recommend Nassor - I can’t imagine a better guide than him!
