Stone Town Tour

The city of Zanzibar is often referred to as Stone Town because of the coral stone used in the construction of many of the older buildings found along the narrow alley ways. No visit to this exciting island is complete without a tour of this historic town. The three hour guided tour includes the city market, a century old Anglican Church of Christ, built on the site of the notorious slave trade in 1874; and some of the rooms where slaves were stashed before their sale. The tour also includes the National Museum, Forodhani Gardens, the Arab Fort (circa 1700) and some interesting shops found along the narrow streets and walkways. The tour ends at Livingstone.
