Eventually we arrived in Stone town around 12:30. Around 13:00 the tour only started. When we went for the spice tour no one said take cash if you want to support the spice tour. I hardly ever carry cash with me so I could not buy any spices. After the tour we were taken back to Nungwi ended up arriving there just after 20:00”
