Fantastic tour! - Fantastic tour! It was very well organised, and both Mohamed (our guide) and Monsef (our driver) were lovely. We got to see much more than the description says, including sunset and sunrise in the desert and wonderful views. Always good to have some extra cash for tips, toilets, drinks and snacks. Thank you TUI!

2 day Sahara trip - The tour was great. They fit a lot into two days so it’s a lot of going. I wasn’t in Tunisia for a long time so I really wanted to see as much as possible and they made it happen.

Sun, sand and Star Wars - Enjoyable 2 days seeing a variety of sites around Tunisia. A great way to see and experience lots of different activities. Highlight of our trip El Jem and the dune rides. Knowledgeable guide and plenty of stops for drinks, snacks and photos. Only call outs (not negative) take plenty of cash as no card payments and prepare for an early (4am!!!) start in day 2. Great value for money and definitely worth it

Go for it! But expect early wake ups and lots of driving! - Great trip and this will be very memorable! Of course theres always negatives, it felt very rushed but what can you expect in just 2 days?! Go for more days if you can afford it. You are on the coach for 1200km which is about 12 hours a day. Camels and quad bike are not included, I wish I were told this beforehand, cost us 140 dinar for two of us but it is worth it! If you’re experienced with quads like myself then slow down, stay back then catch up to have fun. Otherwise it can be boring and slow. Be prepared to be woken up at 3.30am the second day. And also be prepared to take plenty of cash for drinks, snacks ect. Sahara hotel is fancy! Good food! Head coverups are 12 dinar each You have to pay to use toilets in star wars area Food at star wars area was a plate shared between 4 people, i’d rather have my own plate Thankyou! Trip ended with a sales pitch about rugs😂 Do not get in the back of the jeep if your tall lol I made this mistake. Take ear plugs, neck cushion and plenty of drinks

Unforgettable excursion - An excursion to discover the south of Tunisia +: - Discovery of ultra varied sites we return with lots of memories and images full of the head - Super friendly and attentive Guide - Evening Inn at the Sahara gate really well, the night pool it relaxes - The camel and carriage ride is really to take extra (15 € per person) it's great -The 4*4 is unforgettable - For Rising Star Wars fans it is a must (despite all the itinerant merchants on the site) - Do not hesitate to buy the dates in the oasis they are really cheap and excellent - : - Very intense excursion, not too much time to land and enjoy the place - 1200 KM in 2 days by bus is intense, plan naps on the bus - Lack of typical meals, a little disappointed with meals not very evolved - Wake up at 3 a.m. at the Pension (but to see the sunrise over the desert) - Lack of comments on Tunisia and the different sites visited by the Guide - Allow a lot of incidental expenses between drinks (about 5 to 10 DNT per person at each stop), tips for guides and different people met during the excursion which are a bit mandatory (ex in cave houses), souvenir purchases
