Absolutely must do - amazing fun and knowledgable guide - The day before the tour, I went through the streets of the Medina myself and thought I pretty much had seen it everything. Believe me, I had not. With Riadh I saw and discovered things, I otherwise would never have and also he told about me about the history of buildings etc in an absolutely interesting, fun and lively way, while sharing his comprehensive knowledge of Tunisian history. Moreover, he did not hesistate to give very useful recommendations about travelling in and around Tunis, in short: DOs and DONTs. So basically, the best guide ever and I hope many more people can experience the Medina and Sidi Bou Said the way I did that day.

Unforgettable tour - must do! - This tour of Tunis given by Riadh was absolutely amazing and i can't express how helpful, accommodating, knowledgeable and professional but fun he was, the tour was also jam packed and luckily we had him to ourselves that day almost like a private tour. Its one of the best day tours i've ever had. Even before the tour date, we received a very helpful text on things to do / know to make our Tunisia trip a lot easier. The tour started early on the morning after we took a louage to the outskirts of the city, Riadh was always checking in to make sure we were okay getting around and even offered to buy us a taxi to him if we couldn't find one at the louage station. Highlights were definitely the museums & palaces, sidi bou said, the tiramisu we had at a traditional cafe (cant remember the name!) and the central market of tuns (produce lovers heaven). We learned so much, saw so much and had so many laughs (shout out to the taxi driver lol!)

Great Day Out, Highly Recommend - Excellent walking tour of the Medina & Sidi Bou Said. They are both pedestrian areas, so your phone will log quite a few steps. The tour is restricted to a small group & we were luckily enough to have the guide to ourselves. Our guide Riadh really has a passion about about the city & provided loads of useful tips before arriving to Tunis, plus during the tour itself. The right balance of history & info about the city. Loads of time to take the photos & explore what you want & never rushed. We weren’t really interested in buying anything from the many stalls in the medina, so he was more than happy to whisk us through to see other bits. There was no pressure to buy anything from stalls unlike other tours I’ve been on before. This is NOT one of those tours where a guide will take you to a friend’s stall for commission. Sidi Bou Said is a must, it seems like a totally different country compared to the hustle & bustle of the old part of Tunis. We decided to stay in Sidi Bou Said for a few hours after the tour rather than return straight back to Tunis & Riadh gave us some recommendations on places to go.

Awesome guide. Perfect day. - Riadh is an awesome guide. I have done day tours across the globe, and he is by far the very best guide I have ever had. I feel like I made a new friend. In the middle of the day and at the end, we sat at coffee shops and had long conversations about Tunisia and his business, and it was just an extremely rewarding experience. He was like walking history book in his explanations of everything in the medina and Sidi Bou Said neighborhood. When I mentioned that I would like to try eating lamb's brain, he said, "I know exactly where to take you for that!" And he did--he took me out of the way to a restaurant where I had the most delectable, melt-in-your-mouth meal. And during lunch I asked if there was a local beer, and so he took me to a nearby bar to have one. His English is perfect--he learned it from watching TV and movies. I got the most beautiful pictures during the tour. What was supposed to be a 6-7 hour tour turned out to be 11 hours, and the time just flew by--I loved every minute of it. I so thoroughly enjoyed this day that I have recommended it to everyone I know. Everyone who saw my pics was envious. It really was the perfect day. I will return, and Riadh will be the first person I call.

Tunis medina and Sidi Bou Said - Riadh was an excellent tour guide. He has extensive knowledge of the medina and Sidi Bou Said. He provided me with a lot of good tips on transportation, food and shopping in Tunisia. The pace of the tour was nice, no rush, and we chose where and how to spend the time.

Fantastic Medina and Sidi Bou Said Tour with the Best Guide! - Just back from an incredible day exploring Tunis Medina and Sidi Bou Said with Riadh. He's not just a guide; he's like a friend showing you around. The atmosphere in both places was magical, and Riadh knew all the right spots. We stopped at some amazing restaurants and coffee shops – the food was delicious! Having our 7-month-old with us, Riadh's understanding nature was a blessing. He accommodated our pace perfectly, making the tour feel relaxed and personal. Highly recommend if you're looking for a day filled with great vibes and tasty treats! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
