How it works
Unlicensed guides outside the Bardo National Museum (world's leading mosaic museum) offer "free" or discounted tours, then demand 50–100 TND at the end. They provide minimal or inaccurate commentary and steer visitors toward commission shops.
How it works
At the Carthage Archaeological Site, individuals dressed in semi-official attire position themselves near the entrance and demand additional "fees" beyond the official 10 TND entry ticket, or insist on "mandatory" guide services at inflated rates.
