  • Joost
    · May 23rd, 2025
    Very interesting trip with guide versed in history. In a short time we were able to visit the main cultural highlights. The hotels were of excellent quality, with extensive choice wb restoration. Although it should be mentioned that El Mouradi Sousse is in dire need of an upgrade (e.g. worn carpets). At the latter there is also only wifi in the lobby and bar, which today is standard in the rooms.
