Take a journey back in time with a guided walking tour of Stone Town, the cultural heart of Zanzibar and a recognized UNESCO World Heritage Site. Start at the bustling Old Market, open since 1903, where colorful stalls brim with fresh produce, aromatic spices, and the lively rhythm of daily life—capturing the essence of Zanzibar’s identity as the Spice Island. Make your way to the House of Wonders (National Museum), once the most magnificent building in East Africa, then visit the Tippu Tip House to uncover stories of the island’s spice and slave trade history. Stroll through narrow alleys lined with intricately carved doors, Arab-style balconies, and secluded courtyards, all showcasing the unique Swahili architecture that defines Stone Town. As you walk, pause at significant sites such as the Old Fort, the Palace Museum, the Old Dispensary, and the Former Slave Market—a deeply moving reminder of Zanzibar’s complex past. End the tour at the Africa House, formerly a colonial English club, where sweeping views of the Indian Ocean offer a perfect close to your exploration of this unforgettable city.
