A great guide with excellent local knowledge. As a female lone traveller, I felt very comfortable and could freely ask questions; Nadhmi also offered the right amount of space to explore freely. Nadhmi is not just a guide but was really helpful in just getting your bearings: I was based in Tunis (which his not the easiest place to navigate), I was advised to get a sim card which proved invaluable. He really cares that you have an enjoyable experience, made helpful suggestions and of course things to avoid. No reflection on the guide by the system of booking: once your trip is confirmed have a conversation and double check your location with your guide just to make sure your location is where you think it is. Nadhmi is an excellent guide and would highly recommend. Thank you!
