Enttäuschende Tour,man lief in 15 min durch djerba hood und hatte keine zeit bilder zu machen.Am Ende hatte man dann 30min zeit am bazar ,wobei man am Ende noch auf den Guide warten musste.Der Guide hat nur am Anfangen den Ablauf erläutert und dann zu den Stopps nichts mehr gesagt.Die Organisation war mangelhaft ,die Tour war für 9.30 angesetzt und einem Tag davor wurde sie dann auf 8 Uhr vorgeschoben.Abgeholt wurden wir 30min später von einem Taxi statt dem Bus ,das taxi brachte uns zur Gruppe

Unser Guide war super nett und konnte gut deutsch sprechen. Leider ist Freitagnachmittag die Synagoge geschlossen, was dem Guide nicht bekannt war und wir entsprechend vor geschlossener Tür standen, das sollte bei der Buchung bedacht werden. Die malerischen Gassen waren für uns somit das Highlight der Tour, obwohl wir uns sehr auf die Synagoge gefreut hatten

Guide und Fahrer waren sehr nett. Haben uns viel über das Leben und die Traditionen auf Djerba erzählt. Diese Tour lohnt sich sehr, wenn man Interesse an der Geschichte des Landes, dem Leben auf der Djerba und den kulturellen und handwerklichen Traditionen der Menschen hat. Sehr lohnenswert! Unbedingt zu empfehlen!

Leuke manier om Djerba te verkennen, jammer dat de gids nauwelijks Frans en helemaal geen Engels sprak. Het bezoek aan de synagoge was ook inbegrepen, maar helaas bij aankomst bleek deze gesloten te zijn.
