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!

Initially I've booked a night tour to the Sahara dessert with Depart Travels, however faith has led this trip to be cancelled due to some technical errors. Instead of turning me down, Aymen has asked me what are on my wish list and has tailor made a trip proposal all for me privately. It wasn't a regret going on this trip. Ive set my expectation to be an average standards, however with the help of Aymen and the friendly locals, who Aymen has arranged for me to meet, have made me experience one of the best adventure I've ever done. Aymen himself drove me and explained each cities and villages we went to. Even after the trip of the day has ended, unlike any other guides who will just abandon you at your hotel, Aymen has invited me out for a beer and to chill the nights. He is a really kind and knowledgable man. I have done everything I've wanted and perhaps more thanks to Depart Travels. I highly recommend people to this agency and especially a tour with Aymen himself. Ps: He is an exceptional driver, especially on the off road dunes of the desert.

Djerba has always been my dream destination. The scenic beaches, the affable folk, sumptuous cuisine, shopping and of course, the legendary Jewish-Arab unity have inspired me tremendously to visit the island. Thanks to Mr.Adel Ben Haj Yedder, founder- Vacances Promo Tunisie, my dream finally came true! Famed for their legendary, VPT arranged everything immaculately from scratch including a chauffeur-guide drive air-conditioned car to escape the scorching but otherwise pleasant Mediterranean summer.

The Guellala Museum shocases Djerba's intriguing history while the Borj El Kebir fortress presents a panoramic view of the ocean from its zenith. Soirees with breathtaking folkloric dance and acrobatics performances and the pulsating music of the Berbers was the ultimate treat while on Djerba Island!

My wife and I went on a 3 day tour to the Sahara. The trip was fantastic. Our guide Ali was very professional and took care of us the entire time. A highlight for me was camping out in the desert, what a surreal experience. I will be recommending this company and guide to family, friends and colleagues - it was an unforgettably amazing experience!!
