About
Not far from the beautiful coast of Tanzania, you will find the magical island archipelago of Zanzibar, where time seems to stand still and people still live the traditional way. Zanzibar has been the entrance of eastern Africa for centuries and it was here where most slaves were sold; and Indian, Chinese and Arabic merchants would arrive to trade their wares and buy spices, ivory and slaves. The history of Zanzibar has created a unique mixture of Indian, African and Arabic influences which can be seen in its people, food, culture and building styles.
Stone Town is a labyrinth of alleys and walkways and takes you back centuries. Stone Town and the surrounding villages offer volunteers the unique opportunity to enjoy the white beaches, clear blue water, coconut palm trees and the lively Zanzibar culture and food. The island is a popular backpacker’s destination

About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- Leilah_Hillman0 contributionsAbysmal! Tour company never picked us up:(We never got to do this tour because the tour company never showed up to pick us up despite having corresponded consistently over the last month. We paid for this tour roughly 6 months ago. First time in 126 countries that a tour company has done this to me. Very disappointed!Written June 3, 2023
- J Rojer P0 contributionsOperator did not show upOur tour operator did not show up. We had been corresponding for over a month with confirmation the morning of our excursion that we would be picked up at our hotel at 15:30. It took our front desk 15 minutes to find a way to get ahold of the operator as they weren't answering their phone or chat initially. When we got through, the operator tried to tell us that the trip needed to be postponed due to weather and that he had emailed us. We received no email and our correspondence had been by chat. There was some intermittent rain but the sea was calm and other boats were traveling back and forth. We arranged the same experience through our front desk (shout out to the superb staff at the Tembo hotel) for considerably less money. I don't recommend this company.i do recommend visiting the island to see the turtles:)Written June 3, 2023
- DENNIS P0 contributionsBest guides ever: Joyful energy infusion from the first momentMy husband and I cannot recommend the Door Tours more. Imani and his brothers Geoffrey and Kevin, grew up in Zanzibar and are full of many interesting details of the city and its history. We walked thru the fish market and witnessed an authentic fish auction, learned about the sad history of Zanzibar's Slave Market and explored the underground holding rooms. Also wandered thru narrow alleys with elaborate door carvings which identified the residents as being involved in the slave trade.This was our best tour on our entire 3 month trip. These guys were such great people. You'll be glad you chose this tour. They also gave us more time and took us more places than the other Zanzibar city tours that we considered and all at a great price. Martha and Dennis from CaliforniaWritten May 31, 2020
- DENNIS P0 contributionsBest Spice Tour Ever!!!We have had 3 spice tours in other exotic locations but nothing that compared to this. Our tour guide was knowledgeable about every detail of the spices and the trees, bushes, bark and roots they came from. His assistant climbed trees to cut fresh examples of each spice and handed them to us to examine. He was funny, eager to teach us, and full of stories. We could not be happier with our experience. Best choice ever!!! You'll be happy too!!! Dennis and Martha from CaliforniaWritten May 31, 2020

- marymaziku980 contributionsAmazing experienceWe had a great time during our stay in Tanzania. They picked us up from the airport and took us to the hotel. Geofrey picked us up next day to start the 6 day safari. It was amazing. Geofrey was our guide in Spanish, explained a lot of interesting things and he has a good eye to find animals. Weonly have a little problem with car overheating but the agency arranged another truck to pick us up really quick. Overall very satisfied with the safari tourWritten November 6, 2019
