This walking tour lasts about two and a half hours and begins outside the Cathedral of Saint Vincent de Paul in downtown Tunis. The guide explains the church’s mixed Moorish and Romanesque architecture and its role during the French colonial period. The tour then continues to Marché Central, the main market of Tunis, where visitors spend around twenty minutes observing fresh produce, fish, spices, and flowers while learning about the market’s importance in daily life. The main part of the tour takes place in the Medina of Tunis, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Visitors walk through narrow streets and souks where artisans create perfumes, leather goods, and jewelry. The guide points out mosques, madrasas, and shrines that reflect the area's religious and architectural history. A break is included at a traditional café inside the Medina to rest and watch local life. The tour ends at Kasbah Square, a historic and political site surrounded by government buildings. The guide describes the square’s significance in Tunisia’s modern history and its role during the revolution. Government fees and the guided tour are included. Gratuities and drinks such as tea and coffee are not included. This tour operates on a pay-what-you-want basis, allowing participants to contribute what they feel the tour was worth.
