A great tour in Tunisia - We really enjoyed this tour. Our tour guide told us a lot about the history of the places and the country. We would also like to mention the driver. The young man drove very carefully, so we felt safe at all times. We can only recommend the tour guide.

great tour of kairouan and el jem - this was a great tour! at first all the tour companies required a minimum of 2 people to go, but my sister didn't want to take the tour, so eventually I found a listing online for this tour and I was allowed to sign up with just one person. I expected other people on the tour with us, but I was the only one. we had a driver and a guide (Hoda) and me. First stop was Kairouan, where we saw a large mausoleum, and the mosque. probably about a 1.5-2 hr drive from Tunis (they picked me up at my hotel) then we headed east to El Jem, where there's a large roman amphitheatre that's in really good condition. They were preparing the amphitheatre for a July festival of live performances. then, because i was interested in the history, Hoda took me to a place they don't normally stop at. It was a museum of mosaics, many of them taken from the floors of the large former mansions of El Jem. simply stunning, and much better than the mosaic museum I saw in istanbul After that we went and had a very nice lunch in a nice hotel, all included. I ended up taking a nap on the drive back to tunis, so it went pretty quickly. I really recommend this tour, Hoda was a great guide, and very well-informed and personable.

Thank you so much !! - Jamal was the best tour guide ever! He went above and beyond for us and made us feel very safe (2 women traveling alone). I believe the group and the guide really make these trips a success (or not) and in this case, we couldn’t have asked for anything better! Thank you so much Jamal!!

A step into the past - Boutheina was my guide for the second day in a row and she greeted me like a friend! I always enjoy getting out of the city for a day to see the countryside and this was a very enjoyable day. The El Jem runis are so well preserved and I was excited to see such a historical monument which brings history to the present day
