Amazing tour of old Carthage. - Ahmed picked us up at our hotel in a van with a driver and we set off on our journey. He took us all over ancient Carthage with stops at the Byrsa, aqueducts, Roman baths and the port of old Carthage. As a Roman history buff, I couldn’t have been more intrigued with each place and Ahmed had so much information to add the things that I already knew. As someone who knows quite a bit about the area from research and teachings, seeing it in person was an absolute highlight and talking with Ahmed throughout, he was able to add additional information at me that wasn’t aware of. Super Knowledgeable, very nice, and funny as well. Highly recommended if you’re thinking about any tour in Tunisia.

Excellent private tour of Carthage - We booked a private four hour tour of Carthage with Ahmed Riahi. He was an excellent and very friendly guide who was very knowledgeable not just about the sites we visited, but also the wider historical events and cultural influences that have shaped Carthage. He does not use a ‘pre-prepared script’ meaning he was able to respond to our questions and interests. The tour was excellent value for money. Thoroughly recommended.

Fantastic family trip in Tunisia - We relied on Ahmed Riahi to organize our family trip to Tunisia for a group of 15 people, including adults and children, and the experience was excellent. Ahmed was always available, professional and flexible, managing the group with great care and accommodating all our requests. The desert experience around Tozeur was unforgettable, thanks also to Mehdi, a knowledgeable and kind guide who made everyone feel comfortable. Overall, the trip was very well organized and truly memorable. Highly recommended.

A fantastic cultural tour with Ahmed - We booked Ahmed on tge recommendation of another guest at our hotel. We were definitely not disappointed! Ahmed arranged a comfortable air conditioned car and driver to meet us at our hotel in Hammamet. From that point, the whole day was a delight. Ahmed met us in Tunis and took us on a tour of the Medina, fish & vegetable market and the ancient trade areas telling us the history of how these areas were developed by various cultures over the centuries. We then had a really good lunch in the port district with fresh fish of all kinds to choose from. After lunch, we visited the palace at Sidi Bou Said with exquisite carvings and architecture. Last but not least, were the three roman archaeological sites at Carthage. Ahmed's command of English was superb and his knowledge of ancient history immense. What a day! He was the best and most interesting tour guide I've had. Dont miss this trip if you go to Tunisia and don't miss out on Ahmed guiding you. Thanks Ahmed.

Absolutely outstanding tour of Carthage Sidi Bou Said, and the Tunis Medina by Ahmed. - To anyone looking for an exceptional 5* tour guide in Tunisia we highly recommend Ahmed. On holiday from the UK, my wife and I booked Ahmed for a private tour and we had an absolutely outstanding tour of Carthage, Sidi Bou Said, and the Tunis Medina. From start to finish, we were impressed by Ahmed’s highly professional, informative, enlightening and accommodative approach. What stood out most was his depth of knowledge and communication skills. Clearly drawing on his training as an English Literature graduate he brought history to life and shared a balanced and enlightening overview of the past and present with real clarity and insight. We came away with a far deeper understanding of how Tunisia is shaped by the history of Carthage before and after the Romans, as well as the more recent Arabic and Islamic traditions. His explanations were enlightening and intriguing and left us deciding to look into things even more on our own. Ahmed’s personal touches made the day unforgettable. Booked in advance he met us the Antonine Baths at Carthage and then accompanied us in our privately-hired vehicle and directed our driver on the best places to take us and pick us up when we were walking around. This ensured we made the very best use of our time. In our walking tour of the Medina of Tunis, Ahmed took us behind the scenes down alley ways and hidden corners we would probably never have discovered on our own. Top spots included a bustling local restaurant where we had a first class Tunisian lunch, the panoramic cafe with views over the Medina and learning about the historic Zitouna Mosque, the spiritual heart of the Medina. This was five-star service in every respect: professional, flexible, informative, and inspiring. We left feeling enriched and grateful for the experience.

Best Tour Guide - My husband and I took several tours with Ahmed, and he was absolutely incredible. His attention to detail, knowledge, and passion for sharing information were all deeply impressive. Of the many tour guides we've had, he is hands down the best. Our trip was part of a four-country holiday, and Ahmed's tours made Tunisia the clear highlight. I came away a changed person and can't recommend him enough. -- Natasha, Los Angeles.
