    Disengaged Guide - would not recommend

    sarahyee, Jan 2025
    I don’t know if this was an off day but this was a genuinely poor tour. The guide picked us up and started off well with some interesting points about Tunisia’s economy and agriculture during the drive. However when we got to Kairouan the whole tour went downhill, as in, we didn’t get a tour at all. We were dropped off at the mosque and directed to the free signage with information. Every other tour guide inside was showing their group details of the mosque, the sundial etc (including the large group tours!) Our tour guide was instead taking calls on his phone and sat by himself in the corner. There was no additional information shared beyond directing us to the English plaques and the guide was completely disengaged. This was extremely disappointing as we were looking forward to learning more about Kairouan and had paid more for a private tour. We also didn’t see the aqueduct that was included in the initial itinerary. The guide was taking personal calls throughout the morning and it felt extremely unprofessional. I would not recommend this tour.

    Highly recommend.

    Loved it. Guide was so good. Learnt a lot and the guide looked after me. Not rushed. Learnt and saw a lot. Highly recommend.

    A wonderful area of the world with extensive history and beauty

    So many sights in Kairouan are nor readily visible. You have to know what to look for and my guide was invaluable in this area. Also the history behind each building would take a lot of personal research and I am sure I would miss out on so many facts. The governors house/carpet store was the most fascinating building and the repurposing is wonderful.

    Great trip and tour guide

    Nadmi is a fantastic tour guide and I will definitely recommend him to friends and family who are thinking to visit Tunisia/Sousse. He was very knowledgeable and accommodating for my mum who had a knee injury and couldnt walk much. He made sure to park as close to the attractions as possible so there was less walking involved. He also accomodated to our interests and likes, for example, we weren’t too interested in seeing the basins and he offered to take us to the olive oil factory and ceramic shops (I HIGHLY recommend this!!) on the way back to Sousse. Overall, 10/10 service.

    Excellent tour

    An excellent tour! Nadmi was a really knowledgeable, engaging guide, who showed us the best of Kairouan. Would heartily recommend.

    A highly recommended half-day tour from Sousse

    YERA_K, Mar 2022
    It was definitely worth making a half-day trip to Kairouan away from the more bustling atmosphere in Sousse to discover all the rich historical and cultural heritage that this small, quite but unique town has to offer. Nadhmi was reliable, flexible and attentive for a tailor-made tour experience throughout this excursion. Thank you again!

    Agréable excursion à Kairouan

    Nadhmi nous a contacté par Whatsapp pour nous donner rendez-vous. Ses explications étaient très claires et sa voiture en parfait état. C’est un conducteur très prudent et nous nous sommes sentis en totale sécurité. Le trajet lui a permis de nous faire un historique du pays et de la région en particulier. Il nous a donné des explications pertinentes et intéressante tout au long de la visite de la grande mosquée et de la médina. Nous recommandons.
