    Overall really great experience, felt like we got a real snapshot of the island, our guide Zizou and driver Ali were fantastic. The highlight for us was visiting the Synagogue and museum. We were very lucky there was only us two on the tour so felt like a private experience. Would recommend this to anyone wanting to explore djerba.

    Got to experience a lot of the island in a very short time. The guide explained everything very clearly and was very interesting. There were no hard sells and he also let you know about any scams to watch out for. It was an early start but as it can be very hot then this is needed
