Having a licensed professional guide by your side in the complex maze of the medina is excellent, but with me, it’s superior… the cherry on top, I was raised there!

I am a nationally recognized professional guide certified by the Tunisian National Tourist Office.

Medina Tour - Not only is Saber an extremely knowledgeable and experienced guide, he is a lovely person who has a good sense of humor, is smart, thoughtful, and is clearly passionate about the Medina, Tunis, and his work. Our family learned a great deal about the architecture, function, and history of the Medina. We highly recommend Saber and his Medina tour. We enjoyed every moment of our afternoon with Saber! Definitely take his tour!

Great experience - Saber provided an excellent historical introduction to Tunis. He is so knowledgeable, friendly and knows his stuff ( in five languages!) We learned, laughed, and had a fabulous lunch. He was flexible and patient. He comprehensively described how to get to our meeting point from the port, afterwards personally phoned and spoke to our taxi driver to ensure a safe return to the ship. A group of Aussies with little French and no Arabic, we were delighted with our experience.

Saber is a wonderful guide - Saber is an excellent guide -- knowledgeable, funny, interesting, and patient. Because of his experience and deep contacts in the Medina, we were able to see and explore sights that aren't available to the unguided traveler. He paced the tour beautifully, and we got to see some amazing interior spaces, along with rooftop views of Tunis. Along the way we learned so much about the history, culture, and architecture of the city. Saber's tour is a great introduction to the Medina and is highly recommended.

It was very nice! - Saber's tour gave us a wonderful insight into the Medina of Tunis. The tour was very informative and varied, Saber told us a lot about the history of Tunis and the sights. He showed us places that we would not have discovered without him. The atmosphere was relaxed and fun, we enjoyed it very much. Saber is an experienced and professional guide, we felt very comfortable during the tour. Thank you Saber for this wonderful experience! We wish you all the best for the future :-)

Eyes closed - We recommend Saber with our eyes closed!! He is a great guide, who knows a lot of things and a lot of places. We visited Carthage (knowledgeable on the subject) then Sidi Bou Saïd (in quiet streets) and the Medina of Tunis (seen by a local, it is so much better and so much more enriching). Very special mention for Saber who introduced us to couscous in a very typical restaurant far from the tourist traps… In short Saber is very professional and we had a great time with him. thank you for everything

A trip of which Saber was the exceptional guide exc - We were charmed by the kindness and availability of our guide Saber Arraki. He took us on a journey through Tunisia's rich past, showing us gems such as the palace of Baron d'Erlanger, and impressive archaeological sites like Oudhna or Dougga with a stopover at Testour. Saber went back in time with precision and pedagogy, a flawless culture. He organized, advised the stages with confidence, remembered the good addresses for restaurant breaks. This trip would not have been what it was without his discreet but attentive presence during the five days spent in this delicious country. We promise to use him for a future family trip and we recommend him without hesitation. A very big thank you to Saber.

Best choice to know historical Tunis deeply when stop La Goulette by cruise. クルーズでチュニスに寄港した時のベストチョイスです。 - Increble time in Tunis! If you visit Tunis by cruise ship and have only one day to see around, I strongly recommend to ask Saber to guide Medina plus Carthage with all transfer from the port included. It's far better than the crouded excursion tour. 大型クルーズ船でチュニスに寄港したのですが、船のツアーは大型バスでゾロゾロと名所を回るだけなのに対し、Saberの個人ガイドではチュニジアの歴史や地理について詳しく説明してくれつつ(英語)、混雑を避けて効率的に回ってくれ、遥かに質の高い観光ができました。今回、当初のメディナ巡りだけでなく、港までの送迎付きでカルタゴ遺跡を車で回るツアーに変更してもらった(追加料金あり)のですが、変更して良かったとつくづく思います。遺跡だけでなく、地元のスーパーに寄ったりクスクスレストランに連れて行ってもらう(食べている間、ガイドは別場所で休憩)等のアレンジもしてもらい、滅多に訪問できないチュニスを最大限に楽しみました。

Magnificent visits - Saber is an extraordinary guide. Very professional and super friendly. We are very happy that you were our guide during our vacation in Tunisia. The visit to the Medina with Saber is very authentic, their knowledge and explanations make you visit it in a very special way. You saw shops, artisans, palaces, houses, cafes..., you will learn a lot on this visit!! Without a doubt it is an essential visit. He has advised us on visits and has prepared an incredible route for us, visiting the main cities (Kaiuran, El Jem, Susa, Monastir). It adapts to the needs of the client. He speaks perfect Spanish, and knows Spanish customs and tastes, which is a plus. We 100% recommend getting to know Tunisia with Knowledge! The best guide without a doubt.
