Highly recommend these tours - My family had an amazing experience with both the Private Tour to Kairouan, El Jem and the Carthage & Medina of Tunis tour. Both were well-organized and truly a pleasure. Our guide, Fahmi, was a highlight—personable, funny, and incredibly knowledgeable. He made the entire experience so enjoyable with his insights and humor. Shout out to our driver Rabie who got us everywhere we needed to go safely! If you’re visiting Tunisia, I highly recommend these tours for an unforgettable experience!

Recommend the day trip, be aware it’s a full day of travel. - The historical sites were excellent; guide provided good information and paced visits well. It’s a full day of travel, so be prepared - but well worth it.

Wonderful way to see more of Tunisia - We had a wonderful time. Our guide Chaouki came right to our rental house promptly. He asked us about what we wanted to see on the tour and made sure to help point out so many wonderful things. We was extremely knowledgeable about history and the places we visited. He showed us the beautiful country and facts along the way. He helped us find excellent picture spots and suggested a great place for lunch. He let us decide on a spot for our final tour and it turned out to be a perfect day. There were 3 of us and we would definitely recommend this tour. We chose the option with the guide included and did not regret that.
