- Spice & Stone Town Tour - This is a 2-hour guided tour that begins at Kidichi and continues to the Kizimbani spice farms. At Kidichi, you’ll find the Persian Baths, constructed by Seyyid Said Sultan for his wife, Princess Shehrzard, a member of the Shah of Persia’s family. The tour then moves on to the Kizimbani spice plantations, where you can see and touch a wide variety of spices, fruits, herbs, and ornamental plants and flowers.
You’ll also have the chance to pick, smell, and taste fruits and spices that you may have never encountered in a supermarket, such as cloves, star fruit, tangerine trees, lemongrass, mangosteen, and ‘lipstick trees,’ among others. This is also the most affordable place to purchase locally made perfumes and oils. After the tour, we will drive you back to your hotel.
