Une visite très agréable avec Néjib, qui a su s'adapter aux différents profils du groupe (enfants, adultes, séniors). Néjib a une connaissance poussée du circuit et des différentes références historiques et architecturales. Petit bonus : les touches d'humour et les anecdotes qui ont alimenté le circuit ont amené de la légèreté et nous ont fait passer un très bon moment. Je recommande les yeux fermés :)Wayne_S

I booked this tour last minute (around 9-10 hours before the tour) and didn't expect that my request will be accepted. I was so lucky on that day as Nejib was so kind and accept my request and the tour was amaaaaazing. He was showing all the places and explaining the history behind it. Also he was always happy to modify the tour according to my needs, let me stop for taking as much photo as I want and visit local shops to buy souvenirs. He kindly answered my questions and give me a great recommendations. I would say this is the best tour I had have in my life. إذا كنت من محبي الجولات السياحية فأنصحك بهذه الرحلة .. في البداية ترددت في حجز الجولة باللغة العربية لأني بالعادة أحجز الجولات بالانجليزي ولكن فعلياً هذه الجوله كانت من أفضل الجولات التي قمت بها .. نجيب انسان رائع جدا جدا .. يكفي أنه قام بقبول طلبي حيث قمت بحجز الجوله قبل أقل من ١٢ ساعة من وقت الجولة .. خلال الجولة قام بشرح جميع المعلومات عن الأماكن التي قمنا بزيارتها وكان يتأكد من أن خط سير الجولة يناسبني.. كما ترك لي كامل الحرية في الاستمتاع بالمناظر والتقاط الصور والتسوق من المحلات التجارية الموجودة .. فعلياً كانت من أجمل الجولات التي قمت بها ..
