Moisés is a fantastic guide, he took us in his car all around Carthage and Sidi Bou Said, he took us to the best viewpoints and we took some incredible photos, he told us the whole history of Carthage, he took us to local places to eat well, everything was great, he is charming, 100% recommended. Thank you very much Moisés and Omar
It is a great experience, it’s not just about trying food but giving context to a whole cultural tour
We discovered Tunisian culinary art with our guide Moisés; it was truly a great experience. We tried the famous Keftaji sandwich from the central market of Tunis, the Tunisian dish from the Kasbah, Tunisian pastries, mint tea, and almond lemonade... I forgot the rest, but we ate well. It was a good tasting and discovery of typical North African cuisine. Thank you, Moisés. I recommend it 100%.
Took a food tour with Moises and lost count of how many things we tasted 🤤 Lablebi, kafteji, dates, bsisa, makrouth, tea… and SO much more (sorry Moises, there were just too many to list!). Incredible views to match 😍 Come with a big appetite. Like, a REALLY big appetite. 10/10 tour, thank you Moises! 🙌
