I can easily see why Stone Town was designated a UNESCO World Heritage site! The history and culture there is indeed a treasure. I can only hope that tourism will help, not hinder, the preservation of this amazing place!
4/5 - Good

The town is lovely- narrow streets and friendly people. However the high level of men offering personal tours or the Hakuna Mataram” wraps or scarves was not comfortable. Was very happy to leave that scene.

You can visit the town in a day, recommend staying outside of town at a beach resort if that is your interest.
