What people are saying about Houmt Souk

Great tour. It's a must if you want to know the island. This tour will allow to pass by the main points of Djerba. The tour guide is really really really nice, friendly, with a lot of knowledge, helpul and very funny. Also the driver, Ali, is super nice! I totally recommend this tour for anyone that is interested to understand Djerba and its culture.

Private island tour with Salem (driver) and Khalil (guide). Excellent experience, Khalil is a passionate guide who explains the history of Djerba from -600 to today...I highly recommend this activity.

Very nice visit with his very nice driver. However, we paid for a private visit and we had another couple with us... Too bad. And we didn't do the weaving workshop with the cup of tea either.

Many thanks to Husain and Ahmed. We are glad we booked here and not at the hotel. We can 100% recommend this tour.

Such a lovely crew lots of entertainment during the trip!!!! They never get tired!!!!!Amazing job!!!!
