Our guide was amazing. Her English was was very good and she gave interesting information, not just about the site, but about Tunisia, its wonderful people and rich culture and heritage. I definitely recommend the trip to this wonderful site using this company and their lovely guide

Important archeological site that’s worth the visit! Tour guide and driver were great too :) - Dougga is a really interesting site with a beautiful temple and amphitheater and houses. It was definitely worth visiting and not too far from Tunis so it was an easy day trip.

Magnificent scenery of ancient Rome - ランチ付きのドゥッガ遺跡ツアー。広大な敷地に残るローマ遺跡は圧巻です。ベストシーズンは春とのことで、訪問した12月末は風も強かったため思った以上に寒く、午前中は観光客もまばらで写真が撮りやすいです。昼食は帰路にあるホテル併設のレストランでのスープ＋肉料理です。ガイドのイスカンダルさんは同時通訳の仕事もしており、分かりやすい英語で説明をしてくれました。
Thank you Iskandar for your very informative guide about Dougga. We enjoyed the astonishing scenery of Dougga and learned a lot about its history in different time periods.

Fabulous - A stunning example of an ancient city. More interesting than some of the more famous antiquities around. Great views across valley, take care walking along old roads.
