good tour - historical walkinReview of Historical Walking Zanzibar by Hassan The Historical Walking Tour of Zanzibar led by Hassan is an enriching experience that offers a deep dive into the rich culture, history, and heritage of the island. Hassan, a knowledgeable and engaging guide, brings the island’s storied past to life, taking you through winding streets and historic sites that date back to the times of sultans, explorers, and traders. One of the highlights of the tour is the visit to Stone Town, a UNESCO World Heritage site, where Hassan expertly explains the significance of landmarks such as the Old Fort, the House of Wonders, and the Sultan’s Palace. His storytelling is immersive, providing insight into Zanzibar's role in the spice trade, the Omani influence, and the island's darker history with the slave trade.
