Stone Town is the historic heart of Zanzibar and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. A walking tour takes you through its narrow streets lined with old buildings, carved wooden doors, and small shops. Your guide walks you through the town's layered history — from the slave trade to the sultanate, colonial rule, and independence.
Key stops include the former Slave Market and Anglican Cathedral, the House of Wonders, the Old Fort, and Darajani Market, where locals shop for fish, spices, and everyday goods. The tour is done on foot at a relaxed pace, with time to look around and ask questions at each stop. If you want to understand Zanzibar beyond the beaches, Stone Town is where that story starts.
