All Hammamet Tours & Excursions in 2026 - page 2

Well organised, adventure tour of south Tunisia.  You can enjoy a diversity of landscape, though you have to expect long drives.  The highlights for me were the amphitheatre of El Djem and the 4x4 ride through the desert to the Star Wars film set.   You don't have to be super fit but you have to be healthy enough to get up very early on both Day 1 and Day 2.  If you are a solo traveller, you have to pay a supplement of 30 DT at the hotel (not mentioned on the website), but I didn't mind. I am grateful that this company doesn't charge a huge supplement for a solo traveller.   On Day 2, we were supposed to meet at 4.50 am, but it was 5.15 am by the time everyone turned up (despite the morning call we got at 4am!).  I felt it was disrespectful to those who were ready by 4.50.   I don't know if this late departure caused a knock-on effect, but we only had 40 minutes in Kairouan, instead of an hour, which was such a shame in my opinion.  While most people were shopping, I went to have a walk in the medina and came across the former Ottoman governor's huge house (now a carpet shop).  Unfortunately, I only had about 7 minutes to spend as I had to go back to our bus but I could have stayed there for an hour!  Overall, it was a fantastic tour, but this is my only gripe.

Our guide Noureddine was extremely knowledgeable & personable. It was like touring with a friend. The tour was full of all the sights, sounds & smells of Tunis & Carthage, so I would highly recommend. Noureddine's history knowledge is second to none. A true gentleman.

Fabulous tour!! Picked up from a nearby hotel by Bassam, who then picked up our guide Iskandar who was brilliant, very knowledgable and went at our pace which was great. Carthage is just such an amazing place, we learnt so much. Then onto Sidi You Said, the fabulous white and blue houses - sooo pretty. Lunch was great at the Le Grand Vert, very tasty and filling! Then onto Tunis Medina, stopping to look in the Cafe M'rabet cafe, beautiful and finished with the oldest Mosque in the Western Mediterranean. Could not fault this tour - highly recommend!

My guide was great, driver was new and uncertain but also very good. The sites are 100% worth visiting when in Tunis. Especially el Jem. BUT - note that the tour does not expressly include the museum/archeological site in el Jem, which uses the same ticket as the colosseum and is absolutely worth visiting (especially if you're not going to the Bardo – but even if you do). So, before you commit, I would urge you to insist that the museum be included in your itinerary – I had to negotiate for it on the spot as I knew about the museum but didn't realize it wasn't on the itinerary. (We skipped Monestir entirely in exchange.... an exchange that probably would not have been necessary if I had discussed it in advance.) But otherwise, definitely recommended in every way.
