Frequently asked questions

How long does the Stone Town Tour take?

The tour typically lasts between 2.5 to 3 hours, depending on your pace and interest in specific sites. Some guests prefer a slower, more detailed experience, while others enjoy a quicker overview. Flexible timing can often be arranged with your guide.
