• Tunisia, it is very easy

  This was my first solo trip to Tunisia, and I was really worried about coordinating all pickup locations and the quality of tours booked via Viator. My adventure started when Nadhmi contacted me on the day I landed asking if I could move things around with the booking date, but I couldn’t do so due to a packed trip, so I told him as much. About half an hour later he came back with a confirmation that he will pick me up at a better place than I originally indicated in the app, but at an earlier time due to the changed location, and that we will have to pick up two other people along the way in a beautiful Hammamet. He had a plan! This put me at ease, as he had things handled, even if the pickup time had to change. All my difficulties were resolved within 30 minutes. Given that I woke up with the first call for prayer (~5:45am), an earlier pickup at 8am was definitely not an issue. It also gave me an opportunity to see more of Tunisia as we traveled to pick up other travelers. The earlier pickup also gave me about an hour to get to know my guide before other people arrived. And I am glad I did. Nadhmi is well-traveled, open minded, and has a great sense of humor. I ask A LOT of questions about everything. During the entire trip he went out of this way to explain things about specific places and Tunisian culture people don’t always discuss or notice. This turned into a lovely discussion among all three of us. You could see how passionate he is about Tunisia. He also asked questions, listened to the things we all wanted to do, and never pushed us to do things we didn’t want. Nadhmi turned out to be a great local resource for curious travelers. And boy, he can haggle if you want to buy something! Yet, he will never even suggest you go shopping anywhere unless you ask him specifically. He also knows local prices for everything??? Ask him what something should cost. Ask him about picking better quality. Ask him about other things you should do during your stay. He picks the best of the best in Tunisia, and you will be remiss not to use him as an amazing local guide. This man is amazing. His tour made my trip. As a side note: Viator isn’t particularly good at giving you options for meeting places, so I appreciate that Nadhmi reached out to me to confirm a few days in advance and was able to accommodate a different pickup location (not listed as an option) and retain my original booking date despite some changes. This shows his foresight and experience with tours. Please kindly confirm with him about your special trip interests and pickup locations. Additionally, this tour is really meant for a small group, so unless you are the only group that books it (3-4 people in one party) you will have to put up with interests of other people with different backgrounds and potentially different language—sometimes it works in your advantage, and sometimes it doesn’t, it is a coin toss. Book him solo if you want a 1-on-1 experience.

• The worst tour guide we’ve ever had

  Our guide Nadhmi was the worst tour guide we’ve ever had. The night before the tour he sent a WhatsApp message to try and make the start time 1 hour earlier so that he could get back earlier. We said no as we’d made plans. When he picked us and one other person up, he was clearly disgruntled and didn’t want to do the tour for just 3 people. He barely spoke to any of us the entire 2 hour journey to Tunis, and wasn’t very informative about anything at all. We felt that he gave as little information as possible because he couldn’t be bothered. We were rushed around all the places we visited and didn’t get to see much of them at all. He spent most of his time just walking ahead of us and being on his phone and not paying any attention to us. He didn’t even check that we were still following him at times. We were not given instructions of how long we had anywhere either, he would just give a very brief bit of information and then just stand there and didn’t suggest where to go. At one point he even went back to his car. We were meant to have 2 hours in the medina of Tunis but was rushed around in just 1 hour because he wanted to get back early. Again, we were not spoken to in the car in the 2 hours back, and he was expecting a tip at the end! Sadly this man ruined our tour of this beautiful country and we were left incredibly disappointed. Such a waste of time and money, on a trip that was actually quite expensive when you consider the small cost of entrance fees and local transport here.

• Enjoyed the tour!

  Everything was as it said in the itinerary. We went to Sidi Bou Said first, it was absolutely gorgeous! Then we went to Carthage where you will need to pay 12 TND but you get to go to many places. It was cool to see the Roman bath ruins. After that, we went to Tunis medina. It would have been nice to have longer at the Tunis medina but I read from the review that people complained about the shopping time being too long, so I suppose 1 hour is the compromise. Our driver and guide was Nadhmi. He was great, shared a lot of knowledge and information. And I like that he gives customers space and silence on the car ride, unless he has something to share; I prefer it this way.

• Highly recommend especially if Nadhmi is driver

  What an amazing helpful, friendly, informative, and accommodating driver! I ended up being the only client as 2 cancelled at last minute due to illness. Nadhmi was like a family friend, soft-spoken and completely professional. He sent detailed photo for where to meet for pickup, to asking how long I wanted to stop at a spot, to showing best viewing spots for photo. He gave a running commentary as we drove and I learnt so much about the Tunis. I wasn’t interested in shopping but in seeing the different souks and mosques in the Medina and he made that happen. I wanted light snack for lunch and he took me to where locals eat. What a wonderful day! When we returned to Sousse I wanted mosquito repellant and none of pharmacy near my hotel were open, Nadhmi drove out of his way to find me one before dropping me back! If you are concerned about safety, I am female and he was a perfect gentleman. He more than deserved the huge tip I gave him. Highly recommend this tour, especially if you have him as driver!
