Not only a great tour guide, but Riadh goes above and beyond. My partner lost is phone and Riadh was instrumental to helping us get it back. We can't thank him enough. He is super kind. He even helped another random tourist by offering him an internet hotspot and helped him download a taxi app and order a taxi. He is organized and thorough. He took us to a great cafe during the tour for good citronnade and a fantastic view of the city.

Riadh's tour of the Medina in Tunis was outstanding. His approach is fun and personable, making the whole group feel at ease right from the start. His knowledge of the area is impressive, and he shares it in a way that's easy to understand and remember. I was particularly grateful for how he managed to keep us all engaged, taking care of everyone's needs and making sure we all had a great time. The tour was a highlight of my trip, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a friendly and professional guide in Tunis.

I had an amazing tour of the Medina of Tunis, all thanks to our guide Riadh. He was super professional, kept everything fun, and really looked after the group. You can tell he loves what he does because it shows in his attention to detail and the way he makes everyone feel included. The tour felt like hanging out with a friend who knows all the coolest stories about the place. If you're in Tunis and want a tour that covers great sights and gives you a warm feeling, Riadh's your guy. Definitely a five-star experience!
