Posted By : Trail13556995220
Honestly I am so glad I booked this trip everything from the minute we got picked up to the minute we got dropped back to our hotel in Sousse was AMAZING. The communication was amazing and efficent if you have any questions you can contact them through WhatsApp they reply quick, you can communicate to them in English and Arabic. The prices is absolutely worth it and decent, I WOULD RECOMMEND TO BOOK THE TOUR GUIDE CALLED AMRIA omg we cannot thank her enough she went beyond for us. She is absolutely a lovely women, so respectful, easy to understand and communicate with, so kind, generous and makes you feel very comfortable she shows yous everywhere and informs you without being overload with too much information takes amazing pictures for you as well really good pictures. SHES THE BEST THANK YOU AMIRA SUCH A BEAUTIFUL WOMEN. You get to visit the city Tunis and the markets, the buildings the beautiful alleyways and you get to visit Sid BouSaid ‘Santorini’ city words cant describe how beautiful this city was really really need to go I would recommend it to everyone. We left at 9:00am and arrived back at 6pm. So honestly book it. Thank you again Amira. Xxxx

This was probably one of the worst tours I have done travelling nearly most of the world. The guide which I found out after, was a friend of the owner and not a properly qualified guide! He didn't have a clue. I expected to be given a wealth of history and knowledge but learnt very little. I could have done the tour myself. I wanted to know the details of Carthage, the history. Not just basic information, I could read! The Médina de Tunis was a basic walk and orientation. Again I expected more. I have done other tours in Tunisia which were way better and cheaper. When I asked questions about certain things to do with Carthage history, the guide was unable to answer a lot of my questions. He had no idea how to navigate the Médina de Tunis and had to ask for directions many times.

This private tour offered a great way to see a variety of Tunis in a single day.

Highlights:

Comfortable & Punctual: We were picked up in a modern, air-conditioned car right on time.

Informative Driver: Our driver was welcoming and shared interesting facts along the way, answering all our questions.

Authentic Market Experience: Our guide was fantastic at the Tunis Medina market! She helped my wife find beautiful dresses, negotiated fair prices, and made us feel comfortable navigating the stalls. She didn't offer much verbally but my wife and I are quiet and it was perfect for us. Perhaps someone else might like a little more information and interaction.

Room for Improvement:

Carthage Guidance: While the Roman ruins were fascinating, limited English information on-site made it hard to grasp the full history. A guided tour at Carthage would have been a valuable addition (and something I would have paid extra for). In the interest of openness it was clear from the listing that we go to Cartage on our own and are not joined by our guide. We knew that in advance.

Vendor Recommendations: We were advised that a specific vendor near Carthage was cheaper, but the prices and selling tactics seemed similar to others. We felt we were just guided to a friend and this seller wasn't unique in any way.

Overall:

This was a fun and efficient way to experience several Tunis highlights. If you're looking for a relaxed experience with a great guide for the Medina, this tour is perfect. However, if you want a more in-depth exploration of Carthage, consider adding a separate guided tour.

Taher and Mira were amazing at organising this trip, Taher was very accommodating and went above and beyond for us before the excursion had even started! Mira our driver was very friendly and me and my family felt very welcomed by them both! I am hoping to come back to Tunisia with the rest of the family and booking all my excursions through Taher! The pictures we took were so amazing, Mira knew all the best shots to take! Our trip to Tunisia was incredible from start to finish!!

Be careful! It is NOT a guided tour!! Don't let the description mislead you. I booked this tour in the hope that there would be a German-speaking guide who would tell us about the history of Tunis, etc., but it was just a driver who drove us around and waited for us by the car while we explored the areas. So no background information or anything like that. That was really annoying. For the price, you can save yourself this tour. Take a taxi to the places in question and save your money. Or book another tour that actually includes a tour guide.

It was a stress free way of doing the key sites near Tunis. Our host/driver Walid was very good and helpful. You have the flexibility of doing these sites in any order you would prefer.

We were not aware it was a 2 hour drive there and back there was no air con we were in the back of car with windows lowered in very hot weather air con was only put on for a little while. Hardly any explanation about where we were visiting. Lady was very nice but could have been a lot more informative.

I recently took a trip that was quite disappointing. The driver seemed more interested in listening to the radio than engaging with us. Whenever we tried to ask questions or talk about the trip, he would raise the volume, making it difficult to have a conversation. Overall, it felt like he was more focused on his own entertainment than providing a meaningful experience for us.

During our trip to Tunis, we were hoping for an immersive and engaging experience. While the city itself holds historical charm and potential for exploration, we found that the package we paid for fell short of expectations. Essentially, all we received was a car and driver, which didn't justify the cost. There was no guided tour, no insightful commentary, and no added value beyond basic transportation. Given the price, we expected a more enriching experience. Tunis is interesting, but we felt we didn't get our money's worth.
