Program details

This introductory guided tour of Zanzibar’s ancient city Stone Town provides living evidence of a rich cultural heritage, where Arab, Indian, Persian and European influences blended with local African tradition. Historic buildings with elaborately carved wooden doors shaded by balconies, loggias and verandas line the narrow winding streets and are inviting visitors to get lost into this fascinating and unique World Heritage Site.



While wandering through the old city of Stone Town listen closely to our guide’s sagas and tales of Zanzibar’s most popular inhabitants among them Princess Salme, Farrokh Bulsara and Bi Kidude and follow their footsteps of past. The half day Historical City Tour includes the visit to the Darajani Town Market, the former Slave Market, Forodhani Gardens with view to the House of Wonders, Sultan Palace, Old Fort and much more worth exploring.
