FIND YOUR BASE
Stone Town suits walking tours and history, while a beach stay offers a different pace. A smaller property can be a base for excursions; a hotel with more facilities may suit longer breaks. Check excursion pick-up arrangements and distances if you combine town and coast.
Explore Stone Town's narrow streets on a historical walking tour. A guide helps you understand the old town and the cultural connections that have shaped its buildings and everyday life.
