It was like a private experience - Beautiful architecture along the tour. Our tour guide was knowledgeable about Tunis and Messina. She was very polite to us and the locals which allowed us access into religious locations. We were able to see a prayer room. The markets were unbelievable. We took a break in a cafe and she answered our numerous questions.

A superb and not to be missed walking tour in the medina of Tunis - I booked this Tunis Medina & city core cultural tour so that I would get an introduction to the beautiful medina with a guide who could navigate me through this labyrinth. Not only did I get just that but Riadh also shared his wealth of knowledge with us on the history, architecture, social and political background of what we saw and experienced. He opened doors to hidden gems and made sure we had enough time to enjoy the sights and take photos. He also got me a box of makroud (delicious small cakes with crushed dates and almonds dipped in honey) and had lots of recommendations for where to go for lunch or a coffee. Riadh was an absolute joy to listen to and spend time with, super friendly and helpful. A wonderful experience that should be on any itinerary for anyone visiting this amazing city.

Must Do - A leisurely and informative walk around Tunis & Medina - We booked on this walking tour in late May. What a fantastic day. Riadh sent us WhatsApp welcome info that not only introduced himself but also gave some top tips for arrival into Tunis such as Taxi apps and where to go. The tour was organized perfectly and we met with Riadh at the agreed spot at the agreed time. He then proceeded with us on a leisurely walk around Tunis and the Medina stopping at a local cafe for a chat and coffee. Riadh was informal and was like going on a walk with one of your mates, not like some of the tours we saw whilst on our journey. We learnt so much and were able to explore at our own pace. I highly recommend this tour to anyone new to Tunis and Tunisia.

Fantastic Introduction to Tunis - This tour was a fantastic introduction the city of Tunis and it’s Medina. Riadh was an extremely kind and knowledgeable guide, who even offered to let us share a taxi and treated us to extra Tunisian snacks at the end of the trip. Left me wanting to go back to the Medina, would highly recommend!

Insider tour of the medina - Riadh was a great guide!!! He was knowledgable about the history and politics of the country, showed us hidden gems and secret locations in the medina with interesting stories. He took us to a wonderful traditional coffee house where we could enjoy the view of the old city of Tunis and taste the typical Tunisian mint tea with almond and the Tunisian lemonade. He is also very friendly and funny and has friends on every corner of the city, so it makes you feel like a local :D I would recommend taking a tour with him!!!! (:

A great hospitality - Amazing experience and great hospitality!
I booked the wrong date and asked him to change the date, and he gladly accepted it immediately. We walked around to seek the gem of the city with very informative explanations. What a lovely tea time we had! A fresh mint tea was so nice to relax.
He is friendly but also a good photographer making us laugh so that I got many photos with a big smile I’ve never had :)
Thank you so much!
