Top Tunis Day Trips

Another fantastic tour with the venerable guide Chaouky and driver Maher (I had gone to El Jem with them the day before). As with the prior day, we left earlier than scheduled to beat the crowd (which meant Chaouky leaving his house at 4:30 am!) which made the entire experience pleasant and smooth. Needless to say Chaouky was knowledgeable and made the whole day informative with historical facts, trivia and fun (with his love of 80's American music), but what I noticed on the second day with him was how genuinely kind he is - and how passionate he is about his work - and how he wants visitors to understand and appreciate the history, the beauty and the people of Tunisia. After visiting the Great Mosque of Testour, we walked the streets of the town and he treated me to a freshly made Tunisian Bomboloni (MUCH better than the one I had in Sidi Bou Said) and later to a freshly baked Tunisian bread made by a local woman at a stand on the road - yes, amazing food is a sure way to get to anyone's heart, but the fact that he gave me the opportunity to experience the food in the way that local people do was particularly meaningful to me and it was indeed one of the best moments I had in Tunisia. Needless to say the sites are amazing in a different way from El Jem but if you want to go deeper into Tunisia's history, it is a must - a must with Chaouky.

The team communicated very well. Since I was there during Ramadan, many factors were involved that I was not aware of. Through good communications, we were able to get an early start, and the entire day went very smoothly and perfect. Lunch was enjoyable and I would recommend this tour.

We had Houda as our guide. She was absolutely fantastic. Very patient, very knowledgeable and adaptable to our needs. This tour went to the big 4: The Bardo Museum, the Medina, Carthage ( 3 sites) and Sidi boy said. I would highly recommend it, if you are able to get Houda it would be near perfect
