Good experience but very disappointed by the practice of the guide:
Very friendly and exciting guide. Calm and attentive. Very discreet driver, extremely pleasant car.
Overall experience very pleasant but 2 points darken the picture and this concerns the money:
125 euros, certainly booked at the last moment is expensive for 3 hours. You will find cheaper with meals etc
2nd point that is most damaging to me, is that during DE visit DE sidi bou Saïd, the mistletoe DE will quickly take you to a shop of handmade products (right or not?) and this shop offers you simply mind-blowing prices! (Visit the village very short. Pleasant but few points DE view of the village EN itself. Do not expect to be able to see all the points seen on Google for example)
In short, a guide is there to guide, and therefore take his clients to cheap places, and not to his friend who takes advantage of it to charge exorbitant prices, in front of the complicit guide.
Unfortunately, it's gangrene in this town. And EN knowing how to take a guide to escape these practices, this gentleman consciously takes us there with the pretext of a "super address". The connoisseur's corner being actually a tourist catch (without taking anything away from the quality DE the products there, some being visually handmade) but not letting us see the other shops (perhaps of poor quality for the moment?)
Anyway, really mixed. But past this aspect, very good historical experience.
