Great way to spend a day outside of Tunis - Friendly and knowledgeable tour guide. Amazing views and educational experience. Covered multiple historical sites and tried some local cuisines

Roman era Tunisia - We began with the Bardo museum, before all of the crowds. I remember the museum from 40 years ago: this was a different museum, with a large addition built in the early part of this century, with the many Roman era mosaics well displayed. Our guide highlighted some of the best mosaics. The trip to Sidi Bou Said included lunch and was a nice interval between the museum and Carthage. One regret is that our fellow travelers vetoed a couple of more stops at Carthage. But overall it was a great tour.
One demur. We had to meet the van at a hotel outside of the marine terminal. Not clear why this company associated with Viator couldn't have picked us up closer to the gate, which is where other private tours met their clients. And coming back it was a good mile back to the ship.

Great tour for all ages, history enthusiasts and teens too. - Wonderful day led by our expert local guide Nour. Everything was just as outlined in the Viator summary plans for the day. Nour provided history, background and insight while guiding us through the UNESCO sights. He also navigated the summer heat with planned stops and a great lunch spot that allowed us to cool off. We went at our own pace and could not have asked for a better guide.

We had fun - This was a great tour. They adjusted the itinerary such that we did not hit major crowds at the Bardo and the Baths in Carthage. However, it's impossible to avoid crowds in the very touristy areas, e.g. the Medina, especially if a cruise ship is in town

Carthage remix - Our guide Hode shared her wonderful city with us in such a personal way! What a remarkable society Carthage must have been. Loved visiting the Medina and Sidi Bou Said.

Great places, poor tour - Locations were excellent and great to see Tunisa in a day, our driver was very nice and polite.
This was one of 5 private van tours we booked of our cruise and this was by far the poorest experiences we had and was the most expensive which is disappointing.
We had to walk more than 20 mins to get picked up from the cruise ship, we saw plenty of other private tours get picked up much closer outside of the gate of terminal and dropped closer, we got dropped of on the side of road near train tracks.
The Van AC did not work properly and the van was old and worn inside. We were also taken into a gift store with no prices and the tour guide became quite pushy in there and was not impressed when we left, I assume she was getting kick backs from there and other places she wanted us to spend money.
Tour guide did not listen at all and continued to do her own thing.
Would not book again with this company.
