A spice tour is a 3 hours guided tour which gives tourists a look into the beautiful display of spices on Zanzibar island, visiting various farms that grow spices. On a walking tour, a local guide will pluck bunches of leaves from various bushes and ask guests to guess what they are —most of the spices found in the average kitchen spice rack. Common spices include black pepper, chillies, cinnamon, cloves, coconut, garlic, ginger, lemongrass, nutmeg, saffron, turmeric and vanilla.
