A Tunisian tour guide posing with his official P & O sign, Bizerte, Tunisia. The port side of 'Viceroy of India' (1929) can be seen in the background with crowds of passengers and another tour guide with his sign on the quayside.

A young Tunisian directs passengers from the 'Viceroy of India' towards official tour guides. A desire to entice visiting cruise ships has more recently contributed to a massive expansion of the port around Bizerte. Tunisia now attracts 11 per cent of the Mediterranean cruise market.
