About This Tour
Follow the trail of the sultans, slaves and explorers in the winding streets of Stone Town.

Some of these sites include the former Slave Market and Anglican Cathedral, The House of Wonders and The Sultan’s Palace Museum, Freddie Mercury’s Museum, The Old Arab Fort and Dispensary and many more. While tracing the steps of the past, the tour provides you with a window into modern life in Stone Town.
