Review of Zanzibar’s private Stone Town walking tour, covering landmarks, local guides, price, itinerary, logistics, value, and practical tips.

“Great guide but the town really wasn't as interesting as I thought it would be. This obviously is not the tour guides fault. Lots of nice doors and narrow streets. Fish market auction was cool. Slave market tour was a whitewashed museum piece that seemed to highlight the role of British in liberation. All in all a decent place to visit to buy souvenirs. Very busy town”
