Fantastic building - Great to see Tunisia's answer to the El Djem colosseum. Our guide was very well informed by the history of El Djem. We also visited the museum and there were countless mosaics well preserved. I give the guide 10 stars 👌🏼

The best way to see El Jem - What a wonderful excursion this was and we were so pleased we chose this private tour rather than the shared tour operator bus tour. We were pucked up at the exact time we booked in a nice clean modern air conditioned car. Abdullah then got out the car and greeted us both and from that minute on we all became friends. We cannot recommend this tour highly enough. Please pay the small extra price to support the local companies and you will definitely be rewarded. They can park right outside the venue's, let you have more time inside the venue than you would a bus tour, and Abdullah's knowledge is absolutely second to none. Being a private tour, Abdullah will tailer the trip to your specific needs so that you get the very best value for your money. Do not let the tour operators scare you into booking with them, be brave, be bold, and you will not regret it. This is by far the best way to see El Jem if you are planning on visiting this amazing piece of history.

Fabulous Private Tour to El Jem Amphitheater - I highly recommend doing this as a private tour. Our Guide Abdallah was brilliant. He was punctual picking us up from the hotel reception. He spoke very good English and was very chatty sharing his knowledge of the area and the history of the colleseum. The beauty of having a private tour is that you have more looking at the sites. I must add also that his driving was good and the car comfortable with lovely air conditioning. Highly recommend

One of the best trips ever 😁 - Excellent trip in a comfortable air conditioned car. Abdallah our guide was exceptional. Very knowledgeable and easy to talk to. Myself and my son thoroughly enjoyed this trip the colluseum and ElJem museum are both stunning. Abdallah gave us all the information we needed and opportunities to ask questions then left us to explore which was perfect. Communication prior to the trip was also excellent we felt well looked after and very safe. Access to almost every part of the colluseum and museum was also a highlight.

El Djem - Our El Djem visit was amazing. Beautiful monument and day out. Loved seeing the museum as well. However, we did get charged extortionate rates for the travel to and from the hotel. We later found out it would have been a fraction of the price if we had booked a taxi
