The Tour will start in Stone Town, where visitors can walk through its winding alleys, admiring Swahili architecture and learning about the cultural influences that shaped the city. A highlight of the tour is a visit to a Tanzanite Museums and galleries where guests can discover the fascinating story of this deep-blue gemstone, found only in Tanzania. Here, experts explain the mining, cutting, and polishing process, providing insights into what makes Tanzanite so valuable. There is also an opportunity to view and purchase certified Tanzanite jewellery. The tour continues with visits to significant landmarks, including the Old Fort, the House of Wonders, the Sultan’s Palace Museum, and the Freddie Mercury House. These sites reveal the diverse history of Zanzibar, from its Omani rule to its British colonial past. A visit to the former slave market and Anglican Cathedral provides a moving experience, as visitors learn about Zanzibar’s history in the East African slave trade.
