This Stone Town of Zanzibar private walking tour is a great introduction to the Swahili trading town, which allows you to fully explore the area with a private guide who focuses their attention solely on your group. Your private group can either meet at Old Fort—the first stop on this tour—or get picked up at your Zanzibar hotel. First, visit Old Fort and hear about its history.
Next, pass by Forodhani Gardens and People's Palace Museum on your way to the Christ Church Anglican Cathedral (former slave market) for an in-depth dive into this area’s slave-market past.
Afterward, it’s on to the Darajani Bazaar.
Walk through the bazaar—your private guide can also assist you with bartering and purchasing if you’re interested in taking some things home with you.
The last place you’ll pass is Jaw's Corner before either going back to Old Fort for drop-off or getting dropped back at your hotel.Read less1The Old Fort (Ngome Kongwe) You will visit the Old Fort inside and hear about it's history10 minutes • Admission Ticket FreeForodhani Gardens (Pass By)This park is the heart of Stone Town nightlife, but also has an important historical role.
