5.00In addition to the different discoveries, whether cultural or entertaining, we enjoyed spending these moments with two incredible people, Féhmi the guide and Hishim the driver. On the one hand, the guide to share his knowledge in all areas in a very interesting way and especially always with kindness. Then, the driver was always in a good mood, and did not hesitate to make us laugh with the music or setting the mood. We recommend this stay ,which is very exotic and rich in human experiences.

5.00Great excursion with Imene the guide and Hafedh the driver. The car was well equipped with the car seat of for the little one. Driving very light and quite controlled in the 4x4. The car was brand new and super clean. We had a great time and the food was super good. We are very satisfied with the experience in the desert as well as the Berber villages which are great. Communication went super well with Mouadh, he is very helpful and has a true sense of service to his guests I recommend 1000%. We had a problem with Tunisair and our flight was cancelled and Mouadh managed very quickly to find us an alternative to make a transfer to Tunis. Thanks to ISRAA TRAVEL AGENCY, we spent one night and 2 days and the Tunisian South unforgettable. Thanks again to ISRAA TRAVEL AGENCY for everything.

5.00This was probably the most amazing and unforgettable excursion I have ever taken! We got to walk through an ancient Amazigh (Berber) village, ride camels in the desert, and camp at the edge of the Sahra desert right next to where the endless sand dunes begin. We walked around the small city of Tatouine and got to see what daily life was like there in the city. We explored original Star Wars filming locations, including both where Luke and Anakin Skywalker had their childhood homes (my wife and I are big George Lucas Star Wars fans (not Disney "star wars")). We were welcomed into the home of an Amazigh family and she gave us traditional bread. The whole trip was just a private tour with my wife and I, and our guide Fermi and our driver Ishem were accommodating to how much time we wanted to spend at each location, or if we wanted to make small side trips (like to stop at coffee shops or go to a currency exchange). They also accommodated our dietary needs, and made us feel welcome the entire time. Fermi also had great knowledge of Tunisian history and culture, and has studied it his entire life. I always ask a LOT of questions on tours, and Fermi was able to give detailed answers to every one of my questions. I told Fermi at the end of the trip that everything we did was magnificent, fantastic, and perfect, and it was! My wife and I will cherish a lifetime of incredible memories from this experience, and we give this trip our HIGHEST recommendation!
