Tour description

Step into the heart of Zanzibar with a guided journey through Stone Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site rich in history, culture, and vibrant life. Wander through its maze-like alleys filled with spice scents, colorful fabrics, and the echo of centuries-old stories. 
Visit the iconic Old Fort, once a defensive stronghold; the House of Wonders, a symbol of Zanzibar’s royal heritage; and the Anglican Cathedral, built on the site of the former slave market, where you’ll hear moving tales of the island’s past. Explore Freddie Mercury’s birthplace, lively bazaars, and hidden courtyards, capturing the unique blend of Arab, Persian, Indian, and European influences. This is not just another walking tour—it’s a chance to connect with the soul of Zanzibar, guided by a local who knows its every secret. Your experience ends at Forodhani Gardens, where the scent of freshly grilled seafood fills the evening air, offering a perfect place to relax or continue your adventure.
