The guide talked down to us like we were 4 year olds. He basically said about 10 different things about Tunis, over and over again. Each time we passed a mosque, he told us that 95% of the nation was Muslim. (We passed at least a dozen mosques.) The guide told us not to buy souveniers from anyone except 3 shops he would point out to us, which he did, then he promptly disappeared until the bus was ready to go. The shop keepers were rather creepy, and the shops were very dark and uninviting.

We booked the culteral and historial highlights of Tunis, which covered the ruins of Carthage, Sidi Bou Said house, and the Bardo museum, which I think are the three main attractions everyone should see while in this port. Do not attempt to do this on your own. The port is far from the city and we heard of a couple that turned around and went back to the ship after being harassed by taxi drivers offering to take them around.

While there is not much time in Tunis, there is time to check out a few things. The bus will take you to Sidi Bou Siad, which is an interesting place to pick up some souveniers. Don't forget to get a tiny boquet of Jasmine or two. They are only one euro, and are a nice touch in the cabin back on board.
