Life enriching and pleasurable experience! - Great tour with a great guide (Hamadi)! Perfect tempo, not to slow - not to fast. We got time to really take in every story told and every place visited. Really recommendable and life enriching experience!

Interesting tour with a friendly guide - We had the tour with a nice, friendly guide Mo. He explained the stories behind in a very interesting way, also answering all the questions; also the organisation was very good; I can only recommend the tour and the tour guide, of course:-)

Excellent Cultural and Historical Tour - We had our tour to the Holy City and El Jem yesterday and it was really good. We were messaged prior to the tour to let us know the pick up time and they turned up right on time. Our guide was Mo and our driver was Taraq (I hope I have spelt them correct, apologies if not.)
Mo was really friendly and funny, he spoke multiple languages and did the tour in whatever languages were required, so everyone got to hear and understand the information he was relaying to us.
He was very informative and had lots to tell us. He explained how the day would work and kept us informed throughout the day. We went to the Holy City first after all the pick ups were done and spent time there while he explained everything about the city and location. We were there for a couple of hours and got to take lots of photos. From therw we went for lunch near to El Jem which was lovely. There was a good variety of things to try, including fish and chicken. We had the chicken with cous cous and salad and it was really really nice. The chicken was cooked beautifully.
We then went on to El Jem where we were given lots of historical information before being allowed to walk around ourselves and take lots of pictures. We finished with a quick stop to a nearby museum where a preserved villa had been excavated and we had a look around there before getting back on to the coach for our drop offs back at our hotels.
The driver was really good and you could tell Mo our guide had a lot of love for his country and his cultural and historical heritage.
It was an amazing tour and I definitely recommend it.
The only thing to add is just to let people know that depending on where you are and if you are one of the first pick ups, the day can be quite long as there can be a lot of driving to get to these locations. So be prepared for the long day and make sure you have plenty of water with you. It would be great if the first pick up could be dropped off first and so on but maybe it just doesn't work like that. I don't know.
Other than that it was amazing and our guide Mo was absolutely brilliant. Be sure to tip him and the driver, not just a couple of pounds worth but a GOOD tip, they deserve it.

Great day tour with a great guide! - Great and informative tour with a great helpful guide and a good, mixed group of people. Learned some history and got to really explore all of the Coliseum. Lunch was great and really enjoyed the day. Highly recommended!

Definitely worth it. - This was a long day broken up by multiple stops to interesting locations. Our guide Mohamad was very informative throughout. We stopped at a hotel for a buffet lunch which served a good variety of hot and cold dishes. Drinks were not included. Our coach was modern and comfortable. The trip was 11 hours from pick-up to drop-ff. The trip was worth the price we paid (£65) including entrance fees to attractions. Be sure to confirm your pick-up time the day before.

Great guide and sights - but very average day. - First I must mention the guide, who was incredibly knowledgeable and made great efforts to explain and show us key points. This included at the visiting sites and along the route. Which were truly beautiful and very rich in history. It was this what made me give the trip 3*.
However the journey to the other hotels, were too many it took 2+ hours to pick everyone up. Then it was a further 1.5 hours to the first destination. This could be reduced by not booking a entire coach of people from such a wide range of hotels (distance).
This also meant that there was very little space, sitting with others so close and so many children made this trip very average for me. This wouldn't be an issue if the majority of the 11 hours was not spent on the coach travelling, but it was.
Lunch was at a hotel, this was awful, the food was served tepid warm at best, the chicken was inedible for most people and the fish option looked like tinned sardines. That was the range. Again you are forced to sit at specific tables, so I was again sat with a couple and a family. This would have been a nice point for some autonomy.
I would recommend this trip, although not with the company, they are too money focused instead of experience focused. This makes a huge difference.

Missed appointment and unprofessional service provider - I was unable to participate in this excursion because the guide did not come to pick us up at the right time
Time scheduled on the ticket 7:30 a.m. and the guide came to the hotel at 7:00 a.m. according to the local service provider Tunisie voyage
The meeting was at the hotel reception
I would like to point out that we were not called to the hotel and at reception we were told that they had not seen anyone.
We are very disappointed and have requested a full refund
