A Walk Through Zanzibar’s Living History

Let yourself be guided through the soul of Zanzibar with a private walking tour of Stone Town, where centuries of history come alive with every step. Your journey begins at the House of Wonders, a grand, seafront palace that was once home to Zanzibar’s sultans and a beacon of modernity in its time.

From there, meander through the town’s narrow lanes, passing hand-carved Zanzibari doors, ornate balconies, and hidden courtyards, each holding untold stories. You’ll stop by the Old Fort, a powerful structure built by Omani Arabs in the 17th century, and explore the moving Slave Market Memorial, a place that invites quiet reflection on the island’s historic role in the East African slave trade.

Visit the childhood home of Freddie Mercury, stroll through local spice and fabric markets, and pause at charming coffee shops where Swahili culture flourishes. All along the way, your knowledgeable guide will share tales of sultans, explorers, traders, and revolutionaries who helped shape Zanzibar’s fascinating past.

This tour is more than sightseeing—it’s a heartfelt cultural connection and a walk through a living museum.
