Wandeltour door Stone Town in Zanzibar
Beschrijving
Verken Stone Town, het sfeervolle culturele en historische hart van Zanzibar City, tijdens deze 3 uur durende wandeltocht met een Gids. Gebouwd uit koraalsteen in de 19e en 20e eeuw, werd Stone Town uitgeroepen tot UNESCO Werelderfgoed in 2000. Stone Town is een zeer levendige plek waar je een mix van Arabische, Afrikaanse, Indiase en Europese culturen vindt die comfortabel samenleven. Terwijl je door het labyrint van straten loopt die te smal zijn voor auto's om te passeren, kun je moskeeën, kerken en tempels naast elkaar zien. Terwijl u zich vergaapt aan de stad, neemt uw Gids u mee op een historische en culturele reis door de oude slavenmarkt, Darajani-markt, het oude fort en het paleis van de Sultan. Forodhani Gardens is zeker een bezoek waard, vooral 's avonds als het tot leven komt als een van de beste street food markten in Oost-Afrika. Tour kan een lunch in een restaurant of in een lokaal huis omvatten, indien vooraf geboekt.

Aziza was a wonderful guide for our tour of Stone Town. Our communication and pickup were seamless, and she stopped to get us some water as well. Stone Town is a city with a complex history, and Aziza was able to give such a wonderful background and answer our questions! Our tour ended up going a little long, maybe because we asked too many questions! Do be prepared to buy something from the craft or spice markets - it seems to be strongly encouraged that you do so.
We booked the trip through our guide. First we went to a spice farm. It was very interesting. See the many different plants and taste the fruit. “What is this?” was asked again and again and we could guess the spices. Then we went to Stone Town. Our guide was very simply perfect and responded to our wishes. If you choose such a trip, be sure to take a private guide, you really have it. There's so much to see. Then back to TUI Blue Zanzibar for Dinner on the Beach. A really nice day also thanks to the dear Upendo. Let's feel comfortable. 👌😘
Very interesting walk. Please take a guide. So that he will explain everything. Very safe & friendly people. Even a handicap person could be taken around in a wheelchair

we were on the Sun Princess and only found out about the $US69.00 visa fee once we were onboard! We decided not go ashore after all and tried to cancel for the 3 weeks prior to the tour. On board ship, as everyone knows, the wifi is slow, but we eventually had the response 'Your cancellation has been noted'. So far we have had no refund or paperwork saying that the tour had been cancelled even though it was well within the cancellation period. Please confirm that you received our cancellation notice and send the refund. Your tour guide on the ground can confirm we did not attend. Thank you. booking nos are available.
Our tour guide Saida was excellent and was able to answer all of our questions about Zanzibar's fascinating history and modern society. Would definitely recommend as it gives you a good overview of the city with interesting details that you might miss if you wander around alone.
Thank you for leaving a review for us. We are happy to hear you enjoyed the tour with Saida. Hope to see you again soon!
During a one day cruise visit we did the walking tour. Our overall guide was passable but the specialist guides at a couple of stops were excellent. The tour allows you to cover the narrow streets of Stone Town in an organised way. After doing it you will feel oriented and comfortable about returning to sightsee by yourself. Recommended.
No need a guide, you can make it alone. Nothing interesting anyway. Freddy Mercury hours and few more places...
Awesome walking tour through Stone Town, the the Palace Museum to the marketplace and everything in between. The weather was hot, so take water and wear sturdy shoes. Wish I could remember the name of our guide. She was informative and patiently answered everyone’s questions. Highly recommended.
Although I travel very often with only a copy of Lonely Planet, I definitely could't experience properly Stone Town without our guide Imani Zuberi. With his excellent English, the normally 2 hours walking tour became a 3 and a half hours of interesting and entertaining stories about history, culture, religion and trivia. The heat was unbearable at moments and he always picked the route with most shade. We were so pleased with his service we also hired him for the airport transfer. It was more affordable and comfortable than regular taxi. Highly, highly recommended.
