DETAILS

FULL LENGTH TOUR DESCRIPTION
Depart from the pier and start your day with an interesting tour through Stone Town. You will visit the City Market, the Anglican Church and an optional visit to the slave chambers. Your next stop is the National Museum, the so-called “House of Wonders”. From there, a walk along some of the town’s interesting narrow alleys takes you to the Old Fort.

For a nice relaxing break, you then drive to a restaurant located directly at the beach, around 10 minutes from Stone Town, for a delicious three course meal.

After lunch, continue with your tour and head north to a nearby spice garden. You will see how nutmeg, vanilla, cinnamon, pepper and many more spices and fruits are grown next to each other. After the spice tour, board your coach and return to the pier.
