Real insight in the culture, history and every day life of Djerba island. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour, we booked an English tour, but the Mr.Ahmed spoke mainly German and French. Our wonderful guide and taxi driver (his name starts with R) translated all in English. He also spoke Arabic, Berber and French and was very knowledgeable and answered all our questions. We loved the taxi drive where we did not have to use seatbelts and free time in each location. All the residents of Djerba were very welcoming and proud of their culture/history and we would love to return.
Brilliant!

The organization of this half day was perfect, the stages well chosen and we were able to discover both culture, crafts and local life. A special mention for our guide Fouad, who contributed greatly to making this half day unforgettable. He was not only very professional and passionate, but also very kind and always listening to us. We highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to discover Djerba differently
