Before booking Jamel, my husband and I considered several options for touring: self-directed/self-driving, pre-packaged private tour, or a customizable tour by Jamel. I am really glad we selected the third option. My reasons are:
1. Jamel drove, making the trip more relaxing for us
2. Jamel knew the best sites to see and for how long
3. Jamel adapted to us – particularly my need to stop the car and take pictures of seemingly common things like camels, sheep and voting ballots.
4. Jamel, and the people he introduced us to at various sites, shared stories of themselves, their culture, and their history. This last point is what makes Jamel the perfect tour guide.
After touring with Jamel, I want to shout from the roof tops to all intrepid travelers, “Come, meet the amazing people of Tunisia. Their history is deep, their hearts are broad and the countryside expansive.”
