“Ahmed is a Pro”
We had a great day with Ahmed. He is very knowledgeable and professional in his approach. We covered so much history, culture and cuisine in a very condensed and efficient way. Tunisia is the 100th country visited by my spouse and Ahmed helped us enjoy and celebrate the milestone. He found a tasty fish restaurant for lunch that had no tourists at all. Completely local. During our tour of the Mdina Ahmed helped us buy Tunisian spices which bring back good memories as we use them at home. GO with Ahmed!!
