Best Tunisian Day tour!

- Review from Tripadvisor
5.00When traveling solo, I tend to use Viator for mainly day trips with the only set expectations of safety and accountability. So when I have an exceptional experience, I take the time to write a review. Ghassan, was an amazing tour guide. He was patient, knowledgeable, and friendly (professionally). He took me to all locations in the itinerary, plus placed me at better less popular photo locations so that I could appreciate Carthage even more once I am home. Honestly, the highlight of this day was the lamb barbecue that we stopped to have. It was so good and prepared fresh. It was the day after Ramadan ended so all families were out taking photos of families so got to meet wonderful people as well. I have a better understanding of Tunisian culture because of this tour and how well Ghassan guided throughout. Definitely highly recommended!
