El Jem, what a gem! - Excellent day trip. Thoroughly enjoyed the program. Our guide Ziadi Ilyes, was so informative and helpful. We learned so much about the country, history and culture throughout the day. He was also very funny so made the day even more enjoyable. I can't recommend this tour and tour guide enough.

Unforgettable Roman Ampatheartre Experience - I recommend the visit to the Ampatheartre. Ilyes the tour guide was very accommodating and pleasant and friendly. He explained parts of the Ampatheartre very well and answered and questions I had. He took plenty of photos of me and for me. The drive was good and safe, we stopped at a local Cafe for a drink just outside the Ampatheartre and also took photos with a camel. We stopped also at the Roman Museum with very well preserved Mosaics which was amazing to see aswell as the Roman Villa. The visit to Kairouan was very interesting to know about the Arabic Monuments and the Great Mosque which was one of the best Monuments of the City, with it's Roman Columns and beautiful Minaret. I recommend highly to make the excursion when you have the opportunity.

Will go with another tour guide next time - The sites were amazing. Our tour guide was a little preoccupied and not interested in his customers. We felt rushed most of the day.
