Not sure how to classify this tour. I wouldn’t call it a street food tour as it was a walk around Stone Town, a stop at a roof bar for a beer and then walk to food market where you get to try three things. One from each stall and they are situated next to each other. The total cost of what you will consume in this tour is less than $10 USD. So the price is steep for what you get. That being said we got to try things that normally we wouldn’t and they tasted good.

Wir waren super zufrieden mit unserem Guide Juma. Er hat uns an unsere Unterkunft abgeholt und uns super durch die Stadt geführt. Als Einheimischer kannte er sich extrem gut aus. Nach einigen Highlights der Stadt ging es auf den Gewürzmarkt, danach in eine Rooftop Bar und von dort auf den Food Markt. Im Preis enthalten waren 3 Essen und 2 Getränke pro Person. Extrem gesättigt und mit zahlreichen Infos hat er uns dann wieder zurück zum Hotel gebracht. Wir waren so begeistert, dass wir ganz unkompliziert eine weitere Tour am nächsten Morgen nach Prison Island gebucht hatten.
