Discover the soul of Zanzibar on a three-hour guided tour through the captivating streets of Stone Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the cultural mixed pot of the island. The experience begins at your hotel or designated meeting point, as you set out to explore the rich history, vibrant markets, and iconic landmarks that make this ancient city so unique. Your first stop is the Old Fruit and Spice Market, opened in 1904. Here, you’ll encounter a lively scene filled with tropical fruits, aromatic spices, and bustling local life. It’s the perfect place to immerse yourself in the multicultural character of Zanzibar, where African, Arab, Indian, and European influences beautifully intertwine. Next, step inside the Anglican Cathedral at Mkunazini, built in 1874 by Bishop Steers on the grounds of the island’s former slave market. This moving site tells the story of Zanzibar’s role in the East African slave trade and its eventual abolition. Inside, you’ll find a crucifix crafted from the tree beneath which Dr. David Livingstone’s heart was buried in Zambia, honoring his efforts to end the trade. The tour then continues to the National Museum of Zanzibar, also known as the Peace Memorial Museum. Here, you’ll explore captivating exhibits that chronicle the island’s colorful past — from sultans and sailors to explorers, cultural traditions, and the daily life of its people.
