Fantastic day trip - This is an excellent day trip from Tunis. The guide, Mr Chaouki, is very knowledgeable about history and culture of Tunisia. I visited Sousse, El Jem and Keirouan. Mr Chaouki even showed me the Roman Aqueducts on the way back. I highly recommend this tour.

Meeting the sister I’ve always wanted! - Where do I even start? This was probably the best tour I’ve ever been on in my life (103 countries and counting)! Boubou greeted us at our hotel in Sidi Bou Said and made us feel at home immediately. She was very knowledgeable, fun, and loves her country. She stayed with us most of the time to ensure we received the red carpet experience. She introduced us to some of her favorite cuisines along the tour and must have been photographer in her past life, because her pictures were awesome! Once the tour was wrapping up, she gave us her WhatsApp in case we had any additional questions or needed suggestions for the remainder of our stay. If you’re looking for a day full of history, good eats, and fun, book with Boubou!

Incredible Kairouan and El Jem - Fabulous trip!! Our tour guide Beligh was very knowledgeable, friendly and has a solid foundation of the history of Tunisia. The El Jem colloseum was incredible and the fact that you get to visit the bottom basement part was amazing! Kairouan and the mosque was an interesting sight to see and Monastir & the Ribat was a unique experience and must see for visiting Tunisia. I highly recommend this trip, it's going to be a long day but well worth it to see some of the most beautiful sights in Tunisia. Do not miss booking it!!!!!!!!

Good experience - Everything is good. Punctuality and well executed. Only I don’t like is..to bring to the shops that was not in the itinerary. And at the end of the tour, telling us tourist how difficult life is…for sympathy which I don’t like. We tourist think that if your service is good then only you got the tips.

Lomg distance sightseeing - The tour is nice, but a bit pedestrian in terms of content. The car did have air conditioning, however it was very small. Not recommended for people 5'8" or above. There was A LOT of riding in the car, more than i expected.
