5/5 - I participated in the Kairouan, El Jem, Monastir excursion , and I highly recommend this experience. The guide was outstanding—very professional, passionate, and always ready to answer our questions. He shared a wealth of information about the history and culture of the sites, which truly enriched our visit. The driver was also excellent—skilled, punctual, and ensured a safe and comfortable ride. As for the organization, everything was perfectly managed. Timings were adhered to, stops were well-planned, and everything was well-coordinated. The sites were stunning, and the tour was designed to showcase the best of the region. A memorable excursion that I wholeheartedly recommend to anyone looking to explore Tunisia with ease and professionalism!

5* - Oussama is a top top guide. Really passionate and knowledgeable about his country. So much information on everything we passed in the car as well to make the time more interesting. He also added his own favourite personally stops if we wanted to with the likes of decent coffee, local bread from the side of the road and a great lunch spot so we really got to have a good insight into Tunisia even in a day. The stops are beautiful especially El Jem. Thanks

Great tour of beautiful places - Great tour, nothing was rushed and you got a lot of free time to wander.. Kairouan was so pretty, not only the mosque but also the medina which is smaller but calmer and more picturesque than the one in Tunis. El Jem was awesome and the Ribat in Monastir was nice with great view of the coast. My guide was Chouaaib who is very knowledgeable and driver was Baseem..

Unforgettable Experience with the Man with Blue Eyes! 🌟 - We had an absolutely fantastic tour around Kairouan, the Medina, and Monastir with the most wonderful guide from Didon Tour, known to us as "the man with blue eyes" (so sorry we can't remember your name!). His deep knowledge, passion for history, and warm personality made our day truly unforgettable. From exploring the ancient streets of Kairouan to discovering the hidden gems of the Medina, El Jem and every moment was magical. He made sure we experienced the culture, history, and beauty of Tunisia in the most authentic way. His storytelling was engaging, and his kindness made us feel like we were traveling with a friend. A heartfelt thank you from Alexandra and Marcela, with love from Romania! We will always cherish this incredible experience. Highly recommend Didon Tour and especially this amazing guide!

Good places but tiring day - Pickup time exact. However car was very old with dirty windows, broken window handle and torn seats. Not good value for money. The driver was very polite but drove dangerously. Kairouan was interesting but we would like more time. The same for El Jem. In general the sights were interesting but the distances are very long and we didn't have enough time to enjoy the places.
