点评:We traveled to Tunisia on an 11 day itinerary. From the get-go, Jonathan from Engaging Cultures was very helpful, organised and responsive in putting our itinerary together.
Our guide was Aicha and our driver was Fauzi, both were great!
Fauzi was friendly, punctual and kept a clean vehicle. Sometimes we had to circle back to places due to various reasons but Fauzi was obliging.
Aicha was very knowledgeable, friendly, took great photos and a problem solver. She also took note of festivals/events that may be happening during our visit and ensured that we got to partake in it even though it may not be part of the itinerary per se. For example, the International Festival of the Sahara in Douz, and we even got up close with the sloughi dogs, etc.
The itinerary was comprehensive, and we visited many great sites such as Dougga, Thuburgo Majus, Sbeitla, El Jem, etc. The desert camping was also an interesting experience and we were very glad to have done it. The beautiful sunset and sunrise in the desert were worth it. We also managed to squeeze in a visit to the Bardo Museum and the gorgeous mosaics were a real treat.
The misses - We did not get to visit the Sousse Archaeological Museum and El Ghriba Synagogue in Djerba due to misalignment of the opening times and the itinerary schedule; this wasn't noted until it was too late. Our accommodation in Sousse was not good and lacking in basic service and comfort. But Engaging Cultures was receptive to feedback and these few misses did not detract from the overall trip experience which was great.
Overall, Engaging Cultures did a very good job in putting things together for us, they as well as our guide and driver really do make a difference and was why we enjoyed our trip to Tunisia, a really under-rated travel destination.
翻译:我们按照 11 天的行程前往突尼斯。从一开始,Engaging Cultures 的 Jonathan 就非常乐于助人,组织有序,积极制定我们的行程。
我们的导游是 Aicha,司机是 Fauzi,他们都很棒!
Fauzi 很友好、准时,而且保持车辆干净。有时我们不得不因为各种原因绕回原地,但 Fauzi 很乐于助人。
Aicha 知识渊博、友好、拍摄出很棒的照片,而且善于解决问题。她还记录了我们访问期间可能发生的节日/活动,并确保我们能够参与其中,即使这可能不是行程的一部分。例如,在杜兹举行的国际撒哈拉节,我们甚至还近距离接触了斯卢吉犬等。
行程安排很全面,我们参观了许多很棒的景点,如杜加、图伯格马尤斯、斯贝特拉、埃尔杰姆等。沙漠露营也是一次有趣的经历,我们很高兴能参加。沙漠中美丽的日落和日出非常值得。我们还挤出时间参观了巴尔多博物馆,华丽的马赛克真是一大享受。
遗憾——由于开放时间和行程安排不一致,我们没有参观苏塞考古博物馆和杰尔巴岛的埃尔格里巴犹太教堂;直到为时已晚我们才注意到这一点。我们在苏塞的住宿条件不好,缺乏基本的服务和舒适度。但 Engaging Cultures 乐于接受反馈,这几个遗憾并没有影响整体的旅行体验,这很棒。
总体而言,Engaging Cultures 为我们安排的一切都非常好,他们以及我们的导游和司机确实发挥了重要作用,这也是我们喜欢突尼斯之旅的原因,突尼斯是一个真正被低估的旅游目的地。
