A day to remember - What a fantastic day we had! Nadhim picked us up right on time,not like others unlucky tourists ,who booked elsewhere and were picked up an hour late. It was just him and his lovely wife,who was learning to join him in his business. Nadhim was very knowledgeable, explained everything in such a detail. He was very flexible with time and made our wishes his priorities. We didn't feel rushed, which was exactly what we were hoping for.Nadhim even took pictures for us and k ow exactly how to access best spots. All we can say is big thank you again and would highly recommend booking this tour. It was definitely worth every penny.

Stunning Sidi Bousaid is a must! - I arrived at my Hotel in Hammamet and had a message that my trip was cancelled due to an incident with the car that was to be used. I messaged the driver that this needed to be worked out as it was the only day I could do this. Nadhmi made arrangements with 3 others from the UK so I could go in the car with them. I greatly appreciated that this worked out. I especially loved Sidi Bousaid. The Cartage ruins were next and thenwe went to a nice restaurant for lunch. Afterwards we walked thru the Medina of Tunis and thru the souks. Very good day trip.

Wonderful tour, not long enough. - Nadhmi was very punctual and collected me ten mins from my hotel. As luck would have it, the other couple on the trip were also Welsh! The car was clean and comfortable and we all got along extremely well. I had shorts and sandals on in December. The stops along the way were very interesting and Nadhmi was well informed and made the journey interesting. He took us to the best spots and gave great views when possible. The lunch was fantastic and it was like a courtyard setting. It was called Fondouk El Attarine. I enjoy it so much that I went back the next day with a friend from the hotel. I just wish the tour was longer that’s all. The other couple were staying in Sousse and I was an hour away in Hammamet. Regardless I went back the next day to see parts not included in the tour. The Hotel Royal Victoria for example was the former British Embassy. It’s a beautiful building.

Great day in tunis - Nadhmi was a fantastic guide and driver. His English was fluent, and his knowledge of the area was impressive. He was very accommodating, even going out of his way to help me find a specific souvenir. While we unfortunately didn't get to see everything I had hoped for, the places he did take us to were breathtaking. Was surprised the solo trip I booked had other people on it, but wasn't a issue

Tunisia, how we found a good taxi driver. - First visit to Tunisia this summer. Since we still had children of different ages with us for seven days, we didn't have time to see the desert, but we still wanted to see something interesting. Came across a car rental agency by chance and they gave us the name of the Othman driver, tel. 00 216 25 280 250, he was taking us to Sidi Bou Said, where when he got out of the car, immediately the grandmother painted us henna and asked for 10 dollars for it, for each.... So be vigilant! He also showed us the ruins in Carthage. It was, for us, cheaper and better tours. He also said he could make a transfer in the desert if we still had to eat there. What we liked, the climate, the beach, the food, and the people there aren't as stubborn as in other Muslim countries. Our advice is to take at least 10 days to get to the desert, and then who has what opportunities 🤗

Timings all wrong - My wife and I took this trip from Hammamet. Our guide and driver were excellent, but the timings were all wrong, we only had 30 mins to explore Carthage and we needed much more time to fully explore all the nooks and crannies of the site. We then went onto Sidi, Bou Said, a beautiful photogenic village with gorgeous blue and white houses, and a some lovely viewpoints over the village from the top of the hill its situated on. We had 90 mins here and that was about right in my opinion. Lunch in Tunis was 60 mins but he 3 courses of very simple food could easily have been consumed in 30/40 mins. Then onto the medina of Tunis , here we had almost 2.5 hours which was far too long to spend walking around the medina looking in shops selling the same old tourist tat that no body wanted. 90 mins here would have been more than enough.

Interesting tour of different parts of Tunisian history and culture - Carthage was amazing and the blue and white of Sidi Bousaid was simple and beautiful. We were thankful to have Nadhmi in the Medina of Tunis - he guided us through the little streets and bargained for us

Nothing that I have not seen before - Nothing new to see if you have alredy visited similar muslim countries and ruins like the ones in Turkey. Egipt etc. This sightseeing is overrated massivally specially SIDI Bousaid, it is a street with no more than 10 blue doors and they market it as the Tunisian Santorini, believe me it is nothing like that.
