    Mohammed, our guide, was amazing! So much knowledge, we learnt so much about each region and the wider culture of Tunisia. It was quite frustrating to have to hear the instructions three times, especially when we booked and English your and there was a separate option for a German tour (would've been one less language)

    + Beautiful places. Good guide with interesting stories. - Very little time at each stop. Long journey for 2 days. Everyone trying to sell you something, feeling forces into spending money.

    Early mornings and a lot of travelling but it’s worth it! Plenty of toilet & snack breaks. The food included in the excursion was really yummy and the hotel you stay in overnight was very basic, not the nicest or cleanest but the food there was good. Great value for money and recommend it to everybody! The driver and guide were really nice and knowledgeable. The only thing we didn't like is the carpet sales pitch disguised as seeing the mosque.

    The big ticket items, the camel trail and the jeep safari were with excellent, largely day 1 was very good but day 2 started with the salt flats in an area that half of the group couldn't access and the final stop, the Mosque at Kairoane, well that wasn't really what it was at all, it was about trying to sell the group carpets, the Mosque was a few buildings away and even though we couldn't go inside, we knew this as it is inaccessible to non Muslims in the afternoon, the trip was all about buy
