Saber was the best tour guide we could’ve asked for. Even though we’d seen parts of the Medina we were able to experience a lot of interesting places and sights. The tour covered interesting aspects of Tunesian culture and history. From religious monuments to food. Highly recommended to everybody!

Realicé la guía con Saber por la Medida de Túnez, el sitio arqueológico de Cartago y Sidi Bou Said. La comunicación con Saber fue muy fácil desde el primer momento, además me dió muchas recomendaciones para mi viaje por otras zonas del país. La visita guiada fue fantástica, Saber conoce mucho sobre la historia y curiosidades de Túnez y transmite gran pasión a la hora de contarlo. Además de ser un guía oficial tiene estudios en Arqueología lo que hace que sus explicaciones sean mucho más profundas y concretas. A nivel personal es una persona fantástica con quien mantuve una amena conversación durante el día y tuve la oportunidad de aprender sobre diversos temas de la cultura tunecina. Además, me ayudó con unos problemas que tuve con mi coche de alquiler haciendo de traductor. Sin duda lo recomiendo.469gaetanc

Superbe excursion! Nous avons bien visité et appris beaucoup sur l’histoire et sur la culture. Nous avons pu prendre notre temps et discuter. Saber, notre guide, est très sympathique! La bouteille d’eau était fournie, car il faisait chaud! Par contre, il fait un peu trop chaud pour amener un jeu...
Superbe excursion! Nous avons bien visité et appris beaucoup sur l’histoire et sur la culture. Nous avons pu prendre notre temps et discuter. Saber, notre guide, est très sympathique! La bouteille d’eau était fournie, car il faisait chaud! Par contre, il fait un peu trop chaud pour amener un jeune enfant… Le seul bémol : il faut prendre un Taxi pour s’y rendre et à cause du trafic, trouver un taxi est très très difficile. Un transport serait bien! Je recommande à 100%. Saber est un excellent guide, a énormément de connaissances et sait parler plusieurs langues. Il maîtrise très bien le français!omarluigim

Giro nel centro storico di Tunisi molto affascinante, la guida ci ha accompagnato in dei luoghi che altrimenti da soli non avremmo mai trovato. Consigliato se si vuole scoprire la Medina con calma durante un giorno di viaggio a Tunisi.
