The trip went smoothly. We stopped along the way to enjoy the scenery and take some photos. The tour leader was very knowledgeable and friendly.
We did all of the trips offered by Othentic. This one was very interesting. Abdallah was an amazing guide and driver Mr. Anis was very safe and respectful. We were 3 couples traveling in an air-conditioned van; we were very comfortable and satisfied with this experience.
Timing and local knowledge was perfect. Everything we expected from the tour and more! An unexpected attraction in the Medina, the gift of the local pastry also massively appreciated. Care taken to avoid the crowds and the heat was also welcomed. Could not have been better. 10/10 👍👍👍
Abdallah is one of the best guides I had in Tunisia, he was very friendly and engaging. Great hospitality. He was very warm welcoming and kind, explained us what the sites are about and answered all questions, he helped take our pictures. He even bought us special kariouan sweets. Also they booked a mini bus for my family of 8 and blasted AC which is very nice.
