Highlights
-
Fort de Kelibia - The fort is now one of the main tourist attractions in the city of Kelibia. It is a 16th century citadel built on top of a rocky promontory 150 meters high which dominates the Mediterranean Sea and the city of Kelibia in the governorate of Nabeul, on the northeast coast of the Tunisian peninsula of Cape Bon.
In its oldest parts, this fortress has Roman components, since the Punic period (3rd century BC) a fort stood at this location. Dismantled by the Romans, a new fortification was erected under the Byzantines which was to be constantly enlarged and altered by its successive occupants, especially in the 16th century when the Ottomans faced repeated assaults by the Spanish. A visit to the fortress is an opportunity to enjoy the magnificent panorama that opens from the top of the ramparts: on a clear day, Sicily is visible offshore.

Unique experience - My guide was excellent, providing good information and also catering to what I wanted to see. The drive to Cape Bon is a little long, but worth it for the food, for the views, and for the history and the chance to see genuine Punic (rather than Roman) archaeology.

Comfortable and fun trip, rich with information - Ghasen Nasri guided us through Cap Bon and it was a great experience. He is very knowledgeable about the area (being raised close to it) and the different archeological and historical sites (having studied archeology). Additionally, he was a very nice man to talk to and was attentive to anything spontaneous we came up with. If anyone is planning to visit Cap Bon, I fully recommend this trip!

Excellent trip to northeastern Tunis - Great way to discover Cape Bon!
Kerkouane is one of the best places to visit in Tunisia, due to its cultural and historical values.
The view of the Mediterranean Sea from the Fort of Kelibia is memorable

I liked the name "off the beaten path" - The guide was great! He was super friendly and wanted to make sure we were comfortable and happy throughout the trip. He was also a very careful driver. Although the cost for one person is fair, the the overall cost for two people ends up not being too high. I would suggest giving a 50% discount for each additional person. Also, since lunch is not included, it would be great to provide different options to suit the needs of each customer or to provide the info about which restaurant option (if any) will be included in the trip. Finally, it should be made clear in the description that fees for entrance to the ruins in Kerkouane and other options for museums on the trip are not included. Overall, it is a great trip. I thought it was appropriately named "off the beaten path". You see a lot of great places in Tunisia in one day that would be hard to get to so easily on your own and a lot of driving. My favorite part of the trip was seeing the hot springs. Such a wonderful natural treasure!
