5.00Our tour of Stone Town was absolutely unforgettable. Walking through the narrow streets, historic buildings, and vibrant markets was like stepping back in time. The highlight was learning about the history of the slave market and visiting the Anglican Cathedral, which was both moving and educational. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and explained everything with passion, making the history and culture come alive. This tour gave us a deeper understanding of Zanzibar’s rich past and present. Highly recommended for anyone visiting the island!
