Touring Dougga with Ghassan was a wonderful experience. - It was a real pleasure spending the day touring Dougga and other ancient ruins with Ghassan. Very nice and personable guide. Excellent communication and he picked me up right on time. Stopped for a nice authentic Tunisian lunch along with a few coffee stops as I requested. He did not take me to any shops/vendors to buy stuff. He was a true local guide with no add ons or any hidden agenda. Thank you for such a great trip!

Delightful Day in Dougga! - Excellent trip to Dougga and Testour. The pictures of Dougga online do not do justice to how astonishingly beautiful the countryside surrounding the ruins is and Ghassen and his father will take you on the most scenic routes allowing you to take in the stunning landscape in rural Beja as you approach the destination. This is an excellent tour with wonderful and very friendly guides.

Dougga private tour - Excellent tour with Ghassen’s father to Dougga. Ghassen’s father speaks Frwnch rather than English but he was kind, courteous and helpful. Dougga itself is very impressive and probably takes 1-2 hours to walk around the whole site and see different aspects. Also take a jacket as it was fairly windy and chilly up there. Overall highly recommended.

Interesting site at Dougga but tour arrangements unacceptable - This was supposed to be a private tour with a guide. After my wife and I got picked up, the driver also went to pick up another tourist. What happened to the private tour part. On top of that , the driver said he will pick up our guide on the way. I got a little suspicious. This is a very small car, where was the guide supposed to sit. Stopping at Testour on the way, the driver said the guide was supposed to meet us there but didn’t show up. He drove on to Dougga without a guide. At Dougga he just left us there to explore on our own. The driver spoke practically no English. At the site, all he did was walking in front of me while I was trying to take a photo. Totally disruptive. After two hours, he found a guide at the site who just finished with another group and hired her to give us a brief talk. Dougga is a very interesting site that preserved the layout of an old Roman town. But choose other company more reliable and trustworthy to take you there. Also Testour has just a small mosque as an attraction. the interesting part was it has the star of David on its wall. We didn’t have the guide to explain the history of it.

A most interesting tour to an impressive Roman ruins - This tour is a must for first timers, together with tours to Cartage and to El Jem the mosque in Kairouan and the Monastir area. Very good guide.

Good place, but not the right company to use - Great place to visit. Terrible driver, was 38c outside, but wouldn’t want to put the AC. No disrespect but the given guide, I was afraid that he would slip and fall somewhere due to his age, so I decided to look around by myself. Great place, if possible find a different company to take you.

Not recommended. Do not select this tour company. - They started the tour at 0800Hrs when the listing and my ticket said 0830HRs - I was not prepared in time. I was not informed ahead of time that my driver would be French-speaking only and I am Asian who doesnt speak French. I only came to know the fact about the driver when I entered the car and the driver didnt understand English at all. The car was very small and old. Had to use Google Translate and Duolingo throughout! I tried to call the tour company to no avail and had to carry on the tour this way. The Dougga trip was a disaster as there was a rainstorm - which also led the driver to not stop at Ain Touga and Testour on the way out. The driver did not accompany me at Dougga as he was busy chatting with his compatriots at the security gate and I was roaming the ruins all by myself in the rain and cold wind - 2HRs long!. Rain stopped at 12noon and the driver wanted to return to Tunis for whatever reason. Even though the route back went through Ain Touga and Testour, we didnt stop there as the driver wanted to get to Tunis soonest. The tour cost is way over the existing market rate and lunch is not even provided. I asked Viator to intervene and they made a unilateral decision in the tour company's favour. All said, this one was a bust but you might have a better experience if the guide was English speaking. Do not select tours with this tour company unless you have cash to burn.
