With visits to the house of wonders, the palace museum (People’s Palace), Dr Livingston’s house and the Arab fort amongst others, it is a fascinating look at the essence of Zanzibar. You will see Zanzibar’s bustling market, winding alleyways, ornately carved and studded doors, two cathedrals and countless mosques.
After the tour, enjoy the rest of the day and evening in Stone town. Later on, you will return to your hotel in Stone Town for overnight

Day 3:
At 9am you will be taken to a hotel of your choice at Nungwi, on the northern tip of Zanzibar Island. This is the best beach section of Zanzibar. You will be booked into this hotel on bed and breakfast. On your way you will have a Spice Tour (which includes lunch).
Note that there are generally no ATM’s in the beach area so best to exchange/withdraw cash in Stonetown before continuing to the north of Zanzibar. Please also note, there is a ~5% bank-imposed surcharge on all credit/debit card transactions across the Island
Also note that the government in Zanzibar recently implemented a $1USD per visitor per night tax which has to be paid to the hotel direct.
The history of Zanzibar would be incomplete without the cloves, nutmeg, cinnamon, pepper and many other spices which brought the Sultans of Oman. They can be seen in the plantations just outside Zanzibar town, and a good tour includes opportunities to dazzle the senses with fresh spices. The spice tour does not only involve spices, but also organically grown herbs and a detailed description about their traditional uses in medicine cosmetics and cooking.
