Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Please be careful if leaving you hotel as there are scammers walking the streets waiting to target you. We was told there was a shop that he highly recommended and when we got there in the medina first shop on the left as u walk into the place, the guy was very pushy and forced us to buy items we didn't want. When we questioned it they pretended not to speak much English. Very professional at what they do and be on the look out for anyone who approaches you on the street.

Pestered from the minute you walk in. Felt very uncomfortable and a bit scared to be honest. Wouldn't go back. One bloke approached us and said he was the chef in our hotel and wanted to take us to his mother's shop. Turns out he is a scammer and people who did go with him felt under pressure to buy something.

Old stone town, high stairs, lot of small shops. And next to Medina a seaside, where people come to send a day away, beautiful sunsets.

We saw the reviews but visited. Yes, immediately a chef from the hotel appeared, followed up by someone else who said he was a liar! Worth a visit to look round the tiny alleys but don't put a visit on your bucket list!

Thought it would be a nice place to visit - what a mistake! Was approached by a man claiming to be a chef from our hotel (remember me?!) the minute we got out the taxi - stupidly we fell for it and ended up spending way over the odds in his ‘family’ shop (which was probably also a lie). We felt stupid afterwards when we realised we’d been scammed, and just went back to the hotel - totally ruined what I’d hoped would be a nice visit to the old town and historic Kasbah. Avoid unless you are prepared to be very firm with the hassle from sellers, and say no to anyone who approaches you. I wish we’d done our homework in advance and had known about this scam.

Poor selection of products in market with a lot of hassle by venders
Try to emulate chef at your hotel to extort money
Ensure you turn your wrist bands over so they cannot see your hotel
More expensive than Tunis or Nabeul
Very nice historic buildings and lovely away from street venders
Overall glad we went but wouldn’t recommend

After a scary taxi ride, approached by a man claiming to be the hotel chef so turn your wrist band around so where you are staying cannot be identified. Nice wonder around the market.

To all travellers they are very sweet talking
Be wary they charge an absolute fortune for a country that's poor what a rip off.

Je ne sais pas pour les vergers. Cependant, ne restez pas à yasmine car c'est une medina en carton pâte toute neuve. Aucun intérêt...Allez à Hammamet vous balader dans la médina ancienne.

how much are cigarettes & where is the cheapest place?
Rodrigo C

Just buy at the airport, on your flight or at your hotel. The usual price is 4 dinars (2€) a pack mainly at the hotel or 40 dinars a volume (20€). There are many cigarette sellers at the beach but I woudn´t trust most of them.
