What To Expect
We’ll start by walking through Stone Town, or Mji Mkongwe, which means "Ancient Town”. This historic trade center with Swahili & Islamic influences was awarded UNESCO World Heritage status. Our walk will be 2 - 3 hours. You’ll be immersed in the special history of this unique, indigenous place. We’ll wander through amazing narrow streets, by antique shops, exceptional handmade Arabic & Indian style doors, and visit historic buildings and local museums. We’ll view the main slave market of East Africa, a Portuguese fortress, the landmark House of Wonder and a local bazaar. We’ll also stop for local coffee or ginger tea, and make time for shopping too. After our Stone Town excursion we’ll visit a local Spice Farm. We'll spend 2 hrs. at the Spice Farm, experiencing many different spices and discovering plants, scents and tastes of cardamom, cinnamon, cloves, vanilla, nutmeg, ginger, turmeric, coffee, and more. We’ll finish with a spectacular coconut tree climber show, who sings local songs while picking coconuts high in the branches of the tree. Finally, we’ll stop at a spice table, where you can see the processed spices and can buy some unique gifts to take home with you.

5.00If you want knowledge and history as part of your tour then this is the trip for you! Masoud is from Zanzibar and clearly loves educating tourists about his beautiful home. We did a spice farm tour to start and you are able to see how so many different spices grow. It was incredibly informative. You are also able to buy different scented oils and soaps along with spices manufactured there at the farm before you depart. Next we went to Stonetown and toured the church/slave market and then walked throughout Stonetown where we got to see more highlights such as the differences in all beautiful doors, the fort, the churches, and many others. Really a bit of a choose your own adventure in what you want to know. I would highly recommend taking a tour with Masoud!
10/10 highly recommended!!

5.00If you are looking to book a spice and/or Stone Town tour look no further!! Masoud is the best in Zanzibar! Masoud drives q clean air-conditioned vehicle, he is timely and easy to communicate with. His knowledge of the culture, history and agriculture of Zanzibar is extensive. Seeing the other guides throughout Zanzibar on different tours it is obvious that Masoud is at the top. His passion for his home island is infectious and respectable. We had a wonderful time spending the day with Masoud, we highly recommend his services!!
Great Zanzibar experience!

5.00Great day! :) We had a great day together with our guide Masoud who first took us to a Spicefarm north of Stonetown. There he showed different plants and spices and we first had to guess which species it was by how it smelled, which was very funny.😊👌🏼 Very good information about everything and a very nice experience with the best guide! The tour of Stonetown was also very informative and interesting. Many historical sites including the slave market, slave dens underground etc. Also food markets, alleys and the city’s best African coffee that we got to taste. ‘Over all’ a great day that we can really recommend! :)
Great tour of Stone Town and Spice Farm

5.00Absolute 10/10 experience! The guide, Masoud, is incredibly knowledgeable and fun, and took great care of us :) The spice tour was interactive and very educational (but also with some very fun demonstrations), and the tour of Stone Town was great, along with an in-depth dive into the history of Zanzibar’s role in the slave trade and a small sampling of local foods. My wife and I had an absolutely fantastic time and would 100% recommend you do this tour, especially if you are staying at a resort and want to bundle together two key experiences to have on the island in one day!

5.00Masoud was our guide, he was wonderful and made sure we got everything we wanted, plus some! We were unaware the excursion we signed up for did not include prison island since we saw some people post pics of it. He made sure we were still able to see it in additional to our tours. Definitely recommend him!
Learn and fun tour

5.00Zanzibar Spice Farm is a beautiful place located about 30 minutes from Stone Town. During the tour, you can learn about various types of trees, spices, and their uses and benefits. The experience also includes local traditional dances and a delicious lunch, which was part of the entry package. I recommend visiting with the help of a local guide or tour operator who can arrange a car, driver, and entrance tickets for you. One thing to note: there are quite a lot of mosquitoes in the area, so it's best to bring mosquito repellent cream or wear long pants. We spent about 3 hours at the farm, and it was an informative and enjoyable experience overall. Date of visit: July 2025
