Perfect introduction to the Medina

5.00Highly recommended. After half a day in the medina with Saber we had a good working knowledge of the history of Tunis and of the souks, and an overview of the different trades and professions practised there. The hat-makers' souk (Souk Echaouachia) was particularly interesting. Saber conveyed all this information in an easy, non-didactic manner, in impeccable English, and still managed to sound enthusiastic even though he must have done this tour scores of times.

5.00The best guide you will find in Tunisia: competent, passionate, smiling and helpful. In addition to speaking excellent Italian. We will definitely return to Tunisia and choose Saber again for more tours: the country is rich in priceless treasures and sites of historical and cultural interest.

5.00Sabers tour of the Medina was absolutely phenomenal. We got the opportunity to see, experience, and understand areas and aspects of the Medina that we never would have on our own. A perfect blend of sightseeing, history and experience. Saber also went the extra mile and arranged a special birthday surprise! We would 100% recommend a tour of the Medina with Saber to make your experience of Tunis totally unforgettable
Great Tour of the Medina

5.00Went on a tour of the Medina by Saber. He was knowledgeable, friendly, and fun! No one else had signed up for the tour so it was a brilliant private tour. Learned so much about the history of the Medina along with some stellar views. Would definitely recommend to do!
Beyond the beaten path, discover Tunis through the eyes of an outstanding local guide.

5.00Saber is an outstanding guide! The tour was super interesting and informative and focused on details and stories beyond the usual tourist informations. He took us through the Medina, showed us hidden gems and told a 360 degrees story of Tunis and its rich and ancient history. Highly recommend ✨ Thank you Saber 🙏🏼

5.00You must not miss this if you are in Tunis and Saber is an incredibly knowledgeable and wonderful guide. He even helped me before the tour to find out taxi rates and currency related stuff. It was the best tour I chose on our cruise of 15 tours, Tunis is so incredibly beautiful, be prepared to be astounded by art, craftsmanship and the hidden corner of Tunis with Saber!
Tour guide interested in your interests rather than fulfilling your role

3.00Unfortunately the tour guide was more interested in us going to 2 shops -surely related to him- than actually being able to tour and know different sectors of the Medina, as well as the central square of the city
