Wonderful Experience in Zanzibar
We did multiple trips with Le Kobe; Maluum caves, Jozani forest, Mnemba snorkeling & beach picnic, Spice tour, Prison Island, Stone Town & a Sunset cruise. Suleiman was our driver and local guide and took fantastic care of us, making adjustments to the plans as requested. Our time in Zanzibar was amazing and made all the more special by Suleiman and his team at Le Kobe giving us an insight into the local culture, environment and history.

Fantastic Tour of Stone Town (an other services in Zanzibar)
LE KOBE Adventures arranged two tours for my family: (1) the one-day tour of Stone Town and (2) a short trip to Prison Island to see the giant tortoises. We had spent a week on the mainland on Safari. The trip to Zanzibar was to recover and enjoy the Indian Ocean. Upon arrival, we were met at the airport by our driver, who took us to Stone Town for the tour of Prison Island. The boat ride over to Prison Island on the small skiff was about 30 minutes. Very enjoyable. To see the giant tortoises was incredible. Our guide Ali also took on a historical tour of the British prison After the trip to Prison Island, the transfer driver returned and took us to our beach resort at Kendra Beach, about a 90 minute drive. We stayed at the beach resort for four nights. On our departure day, a transfer driver picked us up from the hotel and took us to Stone Town for a walking tour of the City. Our guide, Edriza,, was very knowledgeable about Stone Town's history. As Queen fans, he also took us to the Freddy Mercury museum. Following lunch, our transfer driver took us to the airport to begin our journey home. Tip. If there is a porter in the parking lot ... take advantage of his offer for services. Our porter was able to negotiate with the airline check-in agents a place at the front of a check-in line. Well worth his gratuity!

Prison Island and Stone Town tour
We had an incredible experience with LeKobe Safari on the Stone Town and Prison Island tour in Zanzibar. Our guide, Regalo, was simply amazing. He spoke impeccable Italian, making it easy for us to understand every detail of the tour. Regalo provided a thorough and engaging overview of Zanzibar, sharing its fascinating history and highlighting the main sights. His knowledge and passion for the island's culture made the experience both informative and enjoyable. The visit to Stone Town was captivating, with its vibrant streets and rich history, and Prison Island was equally memorable with its giant tortoises and stunning views. We would highly recommend LeKobe Safari and Regalo to anyone visiting Zanzibar. It was a truly unforgettable tour!
Response from the operator: Dear Claudia, Thank you so much for sharing your experience regarding your Stone town with us. We are truly humbled with your kind words about our services. We are glad our guide Regalo expertees facilitated a seamless and enjoyable tour. I will sure pass the word to him. We thank you for trusting us and look forward to welcoming you back . Warm regards, Lekobe Adventure Team

Excellent tour very well organised
Excellent tour that was very well organised. The communication from the company was first class and the driver picked us up right on time from our hotel in Nungwi. The walking tour itself was very informative and did all the sights that we wanted to see. Our guide Ali was knowledgeable and very personable which made the tour very enjoyable! I highly recommend using this company.

Zanzibar Stone Town Highlight walking tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Zanzibar City.
How much does Zanzibar Stone Town Highlight walking tour cost?
+
Prices start at $45 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Zanzibar City usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Zanzibar Stone Town Highlight walking tour take?
+
Plan for about 0.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Zanzibar City is not rushed.
Is Zanzibar Stone Town Highlight walking tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 62 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 19 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Zanzibar City, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Zanzibar Stone Town Highlight walking tour?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Zanzibar Stone Town Highlight walking tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 0.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Zanzibar Stone Town Highlight walking tour?
+
Around 7 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Zanzibar City can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Zanzibar City and add a light layer if any part of the 0.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Zanzibar Stone Town Highlight walking tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Zanzibar City within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Zanzibar City?
+
On Outty we rank every Zanzibar City experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include 3 Hours Private Stone Town Walking Tour, Stone Town Heritage Walk with local Guide, Zanzibar Adventure Quad with Sunset and Transfer Included. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Zanzibar City?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Zanzibar City?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
