Overview

Follow the trail of the sultans, slaves and explorers in the winding streets of Stone Town. Your guide will captivate you by retelling the events that shaped Zanzibar, leading you through the buildings where it all happened. Some of these sites include the former Slave Market and Anglican Cathedral, The House of Wonders and The Sultan’s Palace Museum, Freddie Mercury’s Museum and Dispensary and many more.

While tracing the steps of the past, the tour provides you with a window into modern life in Stone Town.
