Description
Discover the soul of Zanzibar on this guided walking tour through the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Stone Town.
Your journey begins at the Old Slave Market, where you'll learn the tragic yet powerful history of the slave trade. From there, you’ll explore the Anglican Cathedral, the House of Wonders, the Old Fort, and Sultan’s Palace Museum – each building revealing a different piece of Zanzibar’s multicultural past.
Wander through labyrinth-like alleys, see intricate Zanzibari doors, visit local markets, and interact with Swahili culture up close. You’ll also pass by Freddie Mercury’s House, the famous birthplace of the Queen frontman.
Your local guide will explain how Indian, Arab, European, and African influences have shaped the architecture, cuisine, and daily life in Zanzibar.
