About this experience

Stone Town, the historic heart of Zanzibar City, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site shaped by Swahili, Arab, Indian and European influences. A local guide takes you through its maze of lanes, past carved doors, the Old Fort, the House of Wonders area and busy Darajani market.

The walk also covers the island’s difficult history, including the former slave market site, now a memorial and cathedral.
