Booked our private tour with Didon Tours through Trip Advisor/Viator before coming to Tunisia. Our guide, I believe he was called Feti but I apologise if that's not correct, was a lovely man. Very polite and friendly. He and the driver, I didn't get the driver's name, turned up right on time and we began our drive over to Carthage. Our guide was a retired professor and he was so knowledgable about the history of Tunisia and the areas we were travelling through, and he made the information he was passing to us very interesting. Carthage was steeped in so much history, it was an amazing place. We then went to Sidi Bousaid which was so picturesque. It was a beautiful place. Feti took us through the village and told us lots of information about the location. He stayed with us and let us stop at a shop to buy some items but took care to make sure we were getting a good deal, he was always looking out for us. We stopped at a beautiful cafe towards the edge of the village with amazing views down to the Mediterranean Sea. We bought a drink and bought him a tea while we sat and took a few pictures.
He then gave us a bit of time to walk around ourselves and take in the views.
We then went on for lunch which was lovely and cooked beautifully. This was all included as part of the tour and he made sure we were looked after.
From there we went to the Medina which was a real cultural experience getting to walk through the narrow passageways and look at all the items being sold. He explained lots more historical significance of buildings and landmarks. It was such a good day.
We were then dropped off right back at our hotel door.
The driver was amazing and our guide was absolutely brilliant. Definitely recommend this tour.
