  • STONE TOWN was one of our highlights on our trip to ZANZIBAR. We did the tour on our first full day on the island and booked it through our resort tour desk at $50 pp. This included the 45 minute taxi ride. We ended up being the only people on the tour and had our own private tour guide :) If we ever get the opportunity to visit Zanzibar again, we would love to stay in Stone Town for a night or two.
    There is so much history in this town, which we didn't share in our video, as there are many other videos doing this. We also didn't visit any of the slavery sites, we think it might have been closed during our visit.
    Make sure to note when Ramadan is, as this impacts on food restrictions and certain tours. Always be respectful of local customs and cultures though.
    Here is our tour guides number if you want to contact him directly:

    We've always wanted to check out Zanzibar and stone town. Really cool to have someone local show you around the market in stone town... it always makes the experience better. The locals were super friendly and the street food looked super delicious would love to wander the streets see freddy Mercury's place and eat.

    Stone town is definitely our type of place. Such beautiful architecture right on the beach and so much unique food! All of the things you tried looked so amazing. We had no idea Zanzibar was such a great food destination!

    • @BeingBedingfield
      @BeingBedingfield  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      We also didn’t know they had such a big food culture! Wish we could’ve tried more! Our resort didn’t really feature the local cuisine that much and we didn’t have any other restaurants in the area 😕

      @@BeingBedingfield that is a bummer the resort didn't feature much of the local cuisine. I would think many visitors would be interested in trying local dishes.

    This brought back so many memories! I had to quickly grab some loose pyjama trousers (they were nice fancy ones that looked like regular trousers) from my bag as we got to stone town as I was still ‘resort dressed😅’ it’s such an interesting little place, we loved the sugar cane juice in Zanzibar 😋
    You guys looked like you had a lovely time, we had a couple of local young guys get a little aggressive at Craig for just holding his camera in the street which made us a little edgy in Stone town. Luckily our tour guide ushered them away pretty quickly.

    • @BeingBedingfield
      @BeingBedingfield  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      It didn’t look like the locals minded the female tourists in resort wear 🤷🏻‍♀️ but we didn’t want to take a chance, and rather wanted to be respectful of their culture, just like you guys did 😁
      I must say, people were quite keen to be on camera 😅 don’t know if it was because everyone knew our tour guide haha but we kept asking him if it was ok to film and he was the most keen 😁

    So much great food options at the market! I like doing tours with guides... makes me feel safer and I usually end up learning more too. The sugarcane juice sounds delicious. I love the night market all lit up, it looks so pretty. A pizza sandwich 🤣 I love Nutella ❤️

    • @BeingBedingfield
      @BeingBedingfield  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Our guide taught us so much history, unfortunately we couldn’t include it all in the video. But we didn’t know that there was so such rich culture in Stone Town.
      The Nutella Zanzibar pizza was absolutely delicious 🤤

      Still can’t believe you’ve been all the way in Zanzibar, and it’s only a 3,5 hour flight for us 🙈😅
      But yes, we also want to go back!
      We decided not to try any meat or seafood at the market 😅

    Zanzibar is an awesome place, we've been twice now staying at Double Tree Zanzibar Nungwi in the north, BTW they have a great pool bar! We took an excursion to the southern most part of the island and swam with the dolphins, thats quite an experience and that includes the road trip! Craig I share your passion for avaition!

      Swimming with dolphins must’ve been really special!
