El Jem is a Gem - The amphitheater of El Jem is so amazing. I loved walking around without other tourists in sight. The ruins are so well preserved, it is a real treasure. Loved this place. The surrounding area is really nice and the people around town are very nice to foreigners. A must-see on your itinerary of Tunisia.

Beautiful and gritty - We were able to squeeze a lot of activities into the day, although the 8 hour tour ended up being 11 hours! Skander was a knowledgeable guide, although his delivery was a bit scripted - any question I asked wasn’t directly answered, but reiterated things he said before. Lunch was good, the travel comfortable. It was interesting to drive through some remote small towns and see how the poor economy was affecting real Tunisians. In other words, if you only want to see beautiful sites, this tour might not be for you.

A touch of historiy in north africa - I visited Tunis during the last days of holy month Ramadan and Eid-al Fitr festival, which affects most of social activities across the country, despite of several date changes, I hada good private tour with the guide Mr.Lamjed and the driver. He was nice, helpful and provided me interesting information. I wish I could spend more time visiting the Medina in Kairouan.I was satisfied with my tour
