Wonderful tour of Tunisia from north to south - It was our first experience and certainly my boyfriend and I will never forget the beautiful and complete itinerary that took us from north to south of Tunisia under the careful and expert Guide of Ali, whom we still want to thank for his extreme availability and sympathy: acting as both Guide and driver he told us many interesting aspects about Tunisian culture and traditions, as well as their evolution to date. The thing we liked the most was spending a night in the desert where looking at the sky you could admire millions of stars and the milky way while enjoying a typical dinner prepared by Ali and Shahir (mythical desert chef😁) based on meat and vegetable stew cooked in gargoulette and mint tea. In general all the excursions and visits were unforgettable and organized to perfection (I still have in my mind the image of the Chebka oasis at sunset) Thanks again to Ali for the 3 days spent together and, when Lorenzo prepares the gargoulette, we will send you as promised a photo of the final result!

We went to the city Kairouan, Temegza, Chebika, Tozeur, Douz, Sahara Desert, Hammamet, sidi bousaid and more - Our tour guides made our trip to Tunisia an unforgettable experience. We got to see so many cities all over Tunisia in the 3 days we were with them. Every city was unique in their own way. Every part was beautiful and enriched in culture. Staying the night in the Sahara desert is a must. It was an experience like no other. I would do this same tour all over again! Thank you for making the best itinerary and making sure everything was seamless.

Wonderful trip/team/tour/experience - We had such an amazing trip coordinated by Ali! He set us up with Kamel & Nouri (best tour guide and driver ever). We had a fantastic time and saw SO MUCH of Tunisia. He personalized a tour for us and our interests and we couldn’t have asked for anything better! Kamel and nouri made us feel so safe and comfortable. Nouri was our driver and did a GREAT job getting us places fast and safely. He was so funny and had so much character. Kamel had a real passion and knowledge of history, we learned so much about Tunisia from him! He speaks so many languages it’s truly a phenomenon. Ali was extremely helpful, always checking in, and so communicative. We got to experience the real Tunisia, and even try camel meat! We did a 3 day tour and it was perfect to see everything!!!! I highlyyyyyyyyyy recommend using this tour company for your travels. It was sooooooo professional, and also flexible to your needs/wants as a tourist!!! We had an authentic experience which is exactly what we wanted. If I come back to Tunisia, I will definitely go through Ali again!!!! Sweet kamel even cried saying bye to us as we did to him! By the end of the trip, we all became family! Thanks for being so amazing 🐪
