I learned so much! - The guide was extremely knowledgeable and interesting. Very flexible and supporting. All great indeed!

Excellent & highly recommended!!! - Hassen was an excellent guide and brought Carthage to life. He was extremely knowledgeable about the history, the sights we visited, and the plants and trees we encountered; he also had a great sense of humor! The visit to Sidi Bou Said was no different as he covered the history and pointed out key houses and scenic overlooks along the way in this beautiful area. And a shoutout to the driver Khalil who was by far the safest driver I encountered my entire time in Tunisia and always waiting where he was supposed to be when we finished exploring the sights. I highly recommend this tour with Hassen & Khalil.

Great guide and itinerary - Knowledgeable guide, Joseph was also very flexible and accompanied me even to the vegetable market after the tour. Had a great time!

So many instagram photos - Our guide Feme was amazing,- great sense of humor and he has a wide breadth of knowledge. He shared the history of each place with such detail you could almost see it. Both places are a must see. And you have to try the donuts in Sidi bou said.

Enjoyable Tour! - Major confusion about how to meet up with tour. Fortunately others were going and the guide added us to his group. Excellent job explaining the history. Enjoyed the Carthaginean rounds and the Roman ruins. Also the chance to see the town of Sidi bou Said. Great views and a little shopping time.

Beware...Bait & Switch Scheme - My low rating is based on the fact that the tour was NOT private as advertised and offered and paid for. I specifically booked/paid for a private tour, which was later confirmed in my email booking receipt and verbally by Viator/TripAdvisor representatives. The night before the tour, the Tunisian 'AOUES Travel and Events'* tour company representative contacted me to let me know the tour would NOT be private; he explained that due to staffing issues, 4 Spanish-speaking travellers would be joining my private tour. He further explained that since I could no longer receive a refund if I cancelled, since it was less than 24 hours before the start of the tour, I could reschedule for another day... Unbelievable, the tour company's problem suddenly becomes my problem. Since my schedule was full, I had to take the group tour with the Spanish-speaking travellers. In the end, 7 Spanish-speaking individuals joined the tour. Time was wasted picking up one set of travellers. The guide tried to keep me in the loop in English; however, an enormous amount of tour time was devoted to the Spanish-speaking travellers. Note, however, that the actual tour guide was nice, knowledgeable, helpful, and on time. *The Tunisian 'AOUES Travel and Events' company representative is also the same individual associated with the Tunisian 'Yahoo Travel' company, which provided a non-private tour (should have been private) the day before. See my separate review of that tour.
