A fantastic cultural tour with Ahmed - We booked Ahmed on tge recommendation of another guest at our hotel. We were definitely not disappointed! Ahmed arranged a comfortable air conditioned car and driver to meet us at our hotel in Hammamet. From that point, the whole day was a delight. Ahmed met us in Tunis and took us on a tour of the Medina, fish & vegetable market and the ancient trade areas telling us the history of how these areas were developed by various cultures over the centuries. We then had a really good lunch in the port district with fresh fish of all kinds to choose from. After lunch, we visited the palace at Sidi Bou Said with exquisite carvings and architecture. Last but not least, were the three roman archaeological sites at Carthage. Ahmed's command of English was superb and his knowledge of ancient history immense. What a day! He was the best and most interesting tour guide I've had. Dont miss this trip if you go to Tunisia and don't miss out on Ahmed guiding you. Thanks Ahmed.

Absolutely outstanding tour of Carthage Sidi Bou Said, and the Tunis Medina by Ahmed. - To anyone looking for an exceptional 5* tour guide in Tunisia we highly recommend Ahmed. On holiday from the UK, my wife and I booked Ahmed for a private tour and we had an absolutely outstanding tour of Carthage, Sidi Bou Said, and the Tunis Medina. From start to finish, we were impressed by Ahmed’s highly professional, informative, enlightening and accommodative approach. What stood out most was his depth of knowledge and communication skills. Clearly drawing on his training as an English Literature graduate he brought history to life and shared a balanced and enlightening overview of the past and present with real clarity and insight. We came away with a far deeper understanding of how Tunisia is shaped by the history of Carthage before and after the Romans, as well as the more recent Arabic and Islamic traditions. His explanations were enlightening and intriguing and left us deciding to look into things even more on our own. Ahmed’s personal touches made the day unforgettable. Booked in advance he met us the Antonine Baths at Carthage and then accompanied us in our privately-hired vehicle and directed our driver on the best places to take us and pick us up when we were walking around. This ensured we made the very best use of our time. In our walking tour of the Medina of Tunis, Ahmed took us behind the scenes down alley ways and hidden corners we would probably never have discovered on our own. Top spots included a bustling local restaurant where we had a first class Tunisian lunch, the panoramic cafe with views over the Medina and learning about the historic Zitouna Mosque, the spiritual heart of the Medina. This was five-star service in every respect: professional, flexible, informative, and inspiring. We left feeling enriched and grateful for the experience.

Best Tour Guide - My husband and I took several tours with Ahmed, and he was absolutely incredible. His attention to detail, knowledge, and passion for sharing information were all deeply impressive. Of the many tour guides we've had, he is hands down the best. Our trip was part of a four-country holiday, and Ahmed's tours made Tunisia the clear highlight. I came away a changed person and can't recommend him enough. -- Natasha, Los Angeles.

- We had a private tour for our group of ten people, and it was very good. This was our first visit to Tunisia and we were pleased with all that we saw. Our guide, Nour, gave thorough explanations that helped us to enjoy each site. He took us to lunch at a local restaurant around noon where we enjoyed a delicious fish meal of local cuisine. He contacted me by WhatsApp a few weeks before to verify that everyone would enjoy a fish meal. I told him that we all enjoy fish, but one of our group has a specific food allergy. He said that they would be able to accommodate that. He told me to contact him any time before the cruise to ask questions or to suggest itinerary changes. Very good service! In addition to the major sights, Nour helped us walk through the narrow, winding streets of the Medina to see the various shops. We were glad he was with us; we certainly would have gotten lost on our own!

Among the best visits - These are the most important places in the north of our beautiful and charming Tunisia in Carthage there are the Punic ports: the commercial port is the one located next to the fish house "Dar El Hout" and the war port which is in the lake between Salambo and Birsa there is also the Punic Sanctuary of Tophet to visit also more, the Cathedral of Saint Luis which is in the hill of Birsa and the museum it is very interesting to see also, then if we talk about Sidi Bou Said we talk about the great cafe Sidi Chabaane which is located on the top of the mountain there is a panoramic and magnificent view! In front there is the mountain of Boukornine and on the other side Solimane and Korbous here is a view of the Gulf of Tunis all this does not deserve a sacred day?? Go it must visit I advise all traveler who comes to spend a holiday here in Tunisia Have a nice holiday and Have a nice visit.😊😊

Enjoyable and informative day: Our tour included Medina - We had a great day with Ahmed. We were collected exactly on time in a comforatable automobile. He is very knowledgeable and professional in his approach. We covered so much history, culture and cuisine in a very condensed and efficient way. Tunisia is the 100th country visited by my spouse and Ahmed helped us enjoy and celebrate the milestone. He found a tasty fish restaurant for lunch that had no tourists at all. Completely local. During our tour of the Mdina Ahmed helped us buy Tunisian spices which bring back good memories as we use them at home. GO with Ahmed!!
