Best way to get to Tunis from LaGoulette?

We are going on a cruise that lands in LaGoulette and we want to go to Tunis to walk around the souk and medina - What is the best way to get there? We are only there for the day

A taxi from La Goulette to the Souk in Tunis will run you about 15TDN, and that will be the easiest way.

The souq in the medina makes for a fascinating stroll. Tiny shops overflowing with stuff; people selling, buying, milling about; skeletal cats lurking in the shadows; the smells of essential oils, spices, frying food; the sounds of the radio, Arabic and French... The Tunis medina's main routes are labeled "touristique", but even a few steps off the beaten track it's a real, working market. Behind the often scruffy facades hide old palaces, mosques, medersas (Islamic schools). Bab El Bahr (The large stone-arch "French Gate" at the head of Avenue DeFrance) is a good starting point for the Souk. The goldsmiths are close to Bab Bnet. Haggle if you wish to buy anything.

If there is anything else you wish to see in Tunis, just let me know. I personally recommend a visit to Sidi Bou Said and Carthage. That are is beautiful and full of history.

If I can be of any more assistance, please feel free to contact me.
