Hi, I'm Yazid, a Licensed National Tour Guide and driver, with almost 2 decades of experience. I know my country very well. I'm very active, open minded and friendly. I'm flexible to all kinds of traveller requests and like to be helpful to every visitor. I do thematic tours for travellers seeking for special things, to discover the hidden gems of Tunisia. Working as a private tour guide makes me able to help travellers unveiling the true culture of my country, by meeting locals and sharing human experiences. I also enjoy sharing entertaining moments and discussing history & art. I very much like to know about other cultures and civilizations besides our own. Besides history and culture, I also facilitate trekking, hiking and biking tours, as well as activities such as photography and gastronomy. I always try to help travellers to materialize their dream experiences, discovering new things, and making their trip to Tunisia unforgettable.

Let's venture into the capital of the Carthaginian empire, also known as the nightmare of Rome, Master of the sea. Carthage was built by the Phoenicians in 814 B. C. , motherland of the famous navigators Hannon & Himilcon, plus the generals Amilcar, Hasdrubal & Hannibal Barca, a statesman renowned for its technical brilliance which allowed him to overpower the Roman Empire in battle. Yet as powerful as the city was, it was destroyed by the Romans and by the Arabs in different time periods, expected to never rise again . . . but it resurrected and returned to being the most important city in North Africa! On our tour, we'll see the Byrsa quarter, built by Hannibal in 195 B. C, where some of the best preserved ruins are. In the VIIth century, Carthage was used as quarry for stone & marble, and it's now one of the most important UNESCO listed archaeological sites. Let me share the amazing history of Carthage with you, a beautiful mixture between the Punic people and the Christians (Romans & Byzantines).
Yazid was an exceptional guide. In fact, he was one of the best that the family has ever had. Yazid was extremely knowledgeable, kind, and responsive. "He kept our young daughter engaged and interested in our tours with him of the Tunis Medina, Carthage, and Nabeul/Hammamet. Thanks to Yazid’s inspiration, we will return to Tunisia one day and won’t hesitate for a second to ask him to be our guide again".
Excellent tour of Carthage and Sidi Bou Said. Our guide, Yazid, was very knowledgeable and thoughtful, tailored the experience to our wishes, and made the day truly memorable. Highly recommend!
Yazid is very very good tour was very educational and we learned a lot he will customize the tour according to your wishes very attentive to clients hospitable didn't waist any time driver was very nice as well highly recommend
I strongly recommend this tour. Yazid is a terrific guide. He is super friendly and extremely knowledgeable about the history of Carthage and Tunisia in general. Yazid went above and beyond to ensure he answered all of our questions and that we were having a great time on the trip. Carthage is a very interesting site with a unique and wonderful history that can't be missed on any visit to Tunis. We chose to take the e-bike version of The Secrets of Carthage and highly recommend it. The e-bike allowed us to be outside in the sunshine while controlling the amount of exercise we did in the heat, making the experience even more unique.
·After we've gathered, we'll start our tour by visiting Byrsa hill, where you'll admire the most beautiful view as well as some monuments that date back to Punic era. ·Then we'll visit the beautiful quarter of the luxurious Roman Villas. ·Next, we'll visit the Antonine baths, the 3rd largest thermal complex from the Roman Empire . ·Afterwards, we'll head to the Punic port areas, seeing both the military & the commercial ports, which date back to the period of time in between the IVth & IIth centuries before Christ. ·We'll later pass by The Tophet, a punic sanctuary and one of the oldest monuments in Carthage. ·We'll finish the tour after admiring monuments as well as hills & sea views. This tour can be customized to your preferences, and we could optionally include more landmarks such as the Carthage Theatre, the Water Pools and a Basilica from the Roman Empire times. We could also do this as a walking tour if you preferred, but this would considerably extend its duration.
