  1. So you only like the parts of Tunisia that is like your country
    So as a colonizer you want to make the world like where you’re from
    🤦🏽
    Not everyone finds happiness in material things and Alcohol and partying

  2. Luckily it was just $$ they took. What if they decided to rape you? It's not like picking up a dude in a gay club.Way different. Go with your vibes. If you ever have dudes over..LOCK UP ALL YOUR VALUABLES

  3. ummmm thats really a bad part what people say and what you experienced.. you can come to the US and get your head blown off… so i would give a better description of the country as opposed to opening up about dangers that never happened to you…what you mentioned is 10000000 times worst in the US.. smarten up kid

  4. Everywhere in the world, never say yes to someone you don’t t know asking to spend the night in your house! How did you accept this…I am really surprised. I am Tunisian and this is the first time I see this type of theft and scam on tourists! It s sad but it s very rare! Stay safe all. Tunisia is a very beautiful country❤

  5. Just a gentle thought that you may not know. To “Gyp” is short for gypsy and is commonly known as a derogatory word towards gypsies. It’s similar to someone saying they Jewd you out of a quarter. No big deal. Thank you for your thoughtful and caring video. It was very informative.

  6. I agree with all the points you mentioned in your video. And thank you for not telling people how dirty and noisy Tunis (and Tunisia in general) could be xD
    I can´t disagree with your negative points since the locals themselves are still struggling with these same issues.

    Talking about security, you (sadly) get used to this feeling of insecurity as a Tunisian and we came up with ways to deal with it. That´s why most people do their best to get cars in Tunisia because it´s safer for themselves and their families. As a Tunisian, I´ve never been in that train that links Tunis to Sidi Bousaid because I know how unsafe it is.
    My recommendation is to either rent a car or just always take a Taxi (It´s really affordable even when they try to scam you) and avoid being alone (specially at night). I also wouldn´t recommend showing off a nice phone or nice jewelry (Smart watches included) when you visit some crowded "popular" places like downtown Tunis.

    Just one last thing, even though safety is an issue in Tunisia, it´s not a lot better in some european big cities. I´ve been once in Brussels and I felt very uncomfortable there. It didn´t feel safe as a city at all. And a lot of people I know said the same about Paris and some other big french cities.

  7. Nice to see you've kept your innocence and naiveté… Be careful, though! Not everybody is like you!
    Also, do not forget that haggling over prices is a North African tradition! Never pay what you're asked for! Always bargain over the prices. First say it's too expensive, then make a low offer, then leave the shop (they'll call you back in!) and haggle again until you pay about 30-50% of the original price.

  8. Very informative. I just had my last holiday in Tunis weeks ago, also visited Sidi bu Saeed, Hammama and Kairoun. I found people nice and friendly, however that doesn't mean I trusted all people or I wasn't careful about my belongings. The only issue I can mention was communication. You couldn't find many people speak English. I stayed close to Madina in Tunis and had a very nice experience.

  9. Yup… people in Tunisia steal a lot.
    I am Tunisian, and my aunt from Tunisia had her phone on her hand while standing on the street and suddenly two guys on a bike rode by and snatched it from her hand. Basically, be cautious of your belongings at all times. Tunisia is a poor country and people will try to steal and sneak by

  10. beauty country and cool people …..lucky …have a good trip…………..🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰💫👌👌👌👌👌💝💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞❤❤❤❤❤❤‍🔥❤‍🔥❤‍🔥❤‍🔥

  11. a total wrong idea nothing bad happened to any of the tourists and tunisia is very safe cause of hhow good are people u can be a guest for any tunisian familly just keep a space from people looking for beers anyway good people and bad people are everywhere and yeah bad people are actually looking bad

  12. Thanks for your honest review. Tunisia has seen better days and things will get worse before they'll get better again. But we're still safer than 90% of the world, our temperament is spicy but we're good at heart! Also that guy who stole money from you is real scam..

  13. Best beaches in Tunisia are in “ Cape Bon” ( hawaria, klebia, etc…). You can do scuba diving there which is just awesome. You should definitely come back and go there.

  14. Great video! I loved how the positive points outnumbered the negative by far and how you were so diplomatic about the bad stuff and yet so clear. Thank you, great help.

  15. I stayed in the city center Hotel for about two months and nothing bad happened to me, people in the city center
    were very friendly and warm. I have access to all kind of facilities and I also found good friend. I have rescheduled to travel to Tunis via Genoa with ferry in early June , I think there are bad people everywhere in the world, it is your responsibility to be careful, otherwise Tunisia is a very safe and secure country with fantastic beach and friendly people and cheap price to travel.

  16. I am Tunisian, thank you for your honest video.

    I want to say to anyone that visits, don't ever ever trust anyone in Tunisia that drinks, begs, or peddles. The only thing that keeps people here in check during these times of struggle and poverty is religion and social pressure/conformity. When you see anyone neglect either of these, stay clear, trust me.

  17. I was recently in Vietnam, now I’m originally from there and speak the language but it’s been years since being back. But everyone has the same thing to say be careful with your stuff. A sense of security is always that one thing on the back of your mind, especially when others tell you to be careful. It almost in way takes away from the excitement and the idea you have of that country. But glad I found your channel actually thinking of going to Tunisia for my honeymoon.
