Free Walking Tour Essential Stone Town

Stone Town is the historical centre of Zanzibar City, the capital of the Zanzibar archipelago. 

As a primary trading post on the spice, silk, and slave trade routes for over a millennium, Stone Town has been a unique meeting place, blending African, Indian, Arabian, and European cultures. It is one of the few remaining ancient towns in Africa.

Its beauty and historical value have earned it a well-deserved place on the UNESCO world heritage list.

Not only is this city visually beautiful, with old colonial buildings and exquisitely carved Zanzibari doorways, but your senses will be overwhelmed with the scent of the sea and spice and the calls to prayer echoing from the minarets.

I would be excited to guide through this cultural city and show you everything that stone town has to offer.

During the tour, we cover the most impressive sights and attractions such as

• Old fort
• House of wonders
• The sultan palace
• Anglican cathedral church (the former slave market)
• St Joseph catholic church
• Darajani market
• Freddie mercury museum.
