Stone Town Tours Zanzibar | Historic Walking Tour & Markets

Stone Town is the heart of Zanzibar and a place full of history, culture, and daily life. Our Stone Town tours are designed for travelers who want to understand the real Zanzibar by walking through its old streets, markets, and famous landmarks.

This tour is best done on foot, because many places in Stone Town are hidden inside narrow alleys that cars cannot reach. A Stone Town walking tour allows you to see, hear, and feel the life of this historic town.

Discover Zanzibar’s History

During the Zanzibar historic tour, our local guide will explain the history of Stone Town, from Arab and Persian influences to European colonial times. You will learn how different cultures came together to shape Zanzibar into what it is today.

You will visit important historical sites such as:

  • • The Old Fort
  • • The House of Wonders (from outside)
  • • The Sultan’s Palace

Each place has a story, and our guide explains everything in simple and clear English
