On this guided tour of Stone Town, you'll visit the most iconic places in the capital of Zanzibar, such as the Old Fort, Sultan's Palace and Christ Church. 

Stone Town Private Tour

We'll pick you up from your hotel in Zanzibar at the selected time. From there we'll walk to the centre of the capital of Zanzibar to see some of its most important monuments.

The first stop will be at the Old Fort, which was built by the Omanis in 1689 and served as a defence against the Portuguese. Next to this fortress is the House of Wonders, filled with stunning wooden doors, carved with inscriptions from the Quran. Did you know that it was the first building on the island to have electricity?

Then we'll head to the old Sultan's Palace, which today is a museum of the royal family of Zanzibar: a stunning palatial building! We'll also visit the Hamamni Persian Baths, one of the many footprints of the empire left in Stone Town.

We'll continue the tour exploring the Darajani market, a must to know the history of the city. In the final stretch of the guided tour, we'll go to the house where Freddy Mercuri was born.

Afterwards, we'll stop outside the Christ Church, one of the most impressive monuments in the historic centre; all that's left of Stone Town from the 1860s. As we admire this incredible monument to the region's slaves, we'll learn all about the history of this decade. 

We'll finish the guided tour of Stone Town after three hours and take you back to your hotel.
