Wonderful day - Abdallah is a fantastic English speaking guide, his communication and knowledge was brilliant with great humour as well. The whole day was thoroughly enjoyable and tips for a future trip to Tunis Medina were a valuable insight. Highly recommend for any age or group and would definitely book again.
