My sister and I really enjoyed this tour - it was comprehensive and fun, particularly the trip out to the Prison Island where we learnt a lot about slavery. Stone Town is a great place to visit and following this tour, we felt comfortable in wandering around the area on our own.

This was a day trip from our hotel, there are limited things to see as most of the history is gone, but the large tortoise's are amazing some up to 189 years old and large, you get to be up close to them
