This three and a half hour tour begins with a visit to Zanzibar's
colourful market, alive with the buzz of locals bartering fresh
vegetables and baskets of tropical fruit, amongst the heady aroma
of herbs and spices. Having sampled some wild passion fruit, red
bananas, mangoes and other exotic fruit, we continue onto the
site of a cathedral built in 1874. Signifying a potent time in
Zanzibar's history, it stands on the site of a past slave market.
Abolished in 1873 by decree of the Sultan of Zanzibar, the cathedral's
altar stands on the exact site of the whipping post that was in
the market. From here we visit the Zanzibar Museum, Tippu Tip's
House, the former British Club, the Old Fort, People's Garden,
House of Wonders and the recently renovated Indian Dispensary.
Your tour ends with a stroll through the narrow streets of Stone
Town.
