Experience Details

This is a combination tour of the spice tour, the stone town tour, and the cooking class tour.

During the Spice Tour:

The traveler will walk through the farm; guests will be shown and given an explanation of each and every spice that is found in Zanzibar. After being fully packed with knowledge, our guests get time to buy spices, soaps, and creams, which are all handmade by the community within the farm.

During the Stone Town Tour, you will see:

Guests will visit the Cathedral, Slave Markets, Sultan's Palace, Tip Tip’s House, the Old Arabic Fort, Freddie Mercury House, Forodhani Park, and the famous Zanzibar Doors in the petite streets.

During the cooking class tour, you will learn how to make authentic Zanzibar food. We will walk to the Darajani market and choose our ingredients before heading out to a spice farm in a private car. From there, you will have an hour-long spice tour and then join me to cook some delicious lunch in a traditional Zanzibar home with the spice tour offer.
