Trip was exceptional. Sami is an expert in driving to all locations and was always prompt and safe. Super nice person. Ribat of Monastir and El Jem’s Amphitheatre were super amazing to see. The mosaic museum was a surprise- realized how cool it would have been to see the mosaics in the actual House of Africa itself.

Our driver was exceptional! Really knowledgeable and showed us everything along with little pastries from each part we went to. We had a lovely time and as four female travellers we felt very safe and well cared for

    Great trip

    Our guide made us feel safe and translated anything we needed while also being informative and offering g us options while we travelled. Thank you.

    Great way to see...

    Laura_M, Jan 2026
    Great way to see different parts of Tunisia with a variety of activities. It was incredibly helpful to have a driver who navigated the cities for us and ensured we made it to our destinations. From Tunis, this is a full day experience so lots of driving is involved.

    Private driver only tour

    Winnie_B, Jan 2026
    Amine our driver was punctual and flexible as it was a private tour. He added some local colours to our day! The sights were great - very impressed with the Great Mosque and the medina, El Jem was also nice. Amine asked us if we would like to visit Sousse or Monastir and we chose Monastir, a smart seaside town with a grand ribat. We were impressed with the tour operator. It was responsive to messages, and smoothed out a couple of things very efficiently.

    Fab day trip visiting some amazing sites

    A great day tour to see some main highlights of Tunisia. Our driver Omar was fantastic and we were happy to have him for both day tours we did.

    The driver was punctual...

    Kevin_N, Nov 2025
    The driver was punctual and safe. But this tour is advertised as coming with a guide. There was no guide only the driver. The mosque in Kairouan is ok. The stop at El Jem is worth going to. But not with this company as they are deceptive about a guide being provided. I’d recommend looking into a bus tour where a guide is provided and you’ll get better value for your money.

    Response from Host, Nov 2025

    Thank you for your feedback. We are glad to hear that the driver was punctual and that you enjoyed your visits to Kairouan and El Jem. We would like to clarify an important point for future travelers: Our standard tour includes a driver only, unless a licensed guide is specifically requested. During the tour, the driver asked you directly if everything was okay, and you clearly confirmed that yes, everything was fine. At no moment did you request a guide, and if you had, we would have arranged one immediately. The service you received matched exactly what you agreed to and confirmed during the trip. We never aim to mislead any guest, and transparency is very important to us. We appreciate your review and wish you wonderful travels ahead.

    Our guide Omar was fantastic he couldn’t be more helpful and accommodating. We had an amazing day and saw some great sights

    Our best day in Tunisia.

    Ciaran_O, Oct 2025
    Omar was our nice and attentive driver/guide who collected us from our hotel at 10am. We went to Monastir first and we really loved it there, exploring the fort, with a fantastic view from it's tower, visiting the stunning mausoleum of the first Tunisian president and explored the Medina. We then went onto the holy city of Kairouan, where we unfortunately were not able to go into the mosque, as prayers were taking place there at the time and finally we went to the amazing El Jem museum and breath taking amphitheatre. We were bought back to our hotel around 7pm, tired but very happy after a super day's trip.

    An unforgettable day

    Kristine_D, Feb 2026
    We were allowed to experience a beautiful and interesting day. Our driver Sami picked us up on time at the hotel and took us safely to Kairouan for Mohamed's companions' funeral, the big mosque and guided us through the medina. Then we went to El'Jem and Monastir. Sami always had interesting information for us and with his good mood the day flew by. Thank you also for the fresh dates and almonds he organized during our tours.

    Beautiful and relaxing excursion

    Petar_P, Jan 2026
    This was our second trip with Semi, our driver (first tour took us to Medina in Tunis, Sidi Bou Said & Carthage trip). As a little attention Semi brought us a small bottle of olive oil, which he pressed himself:-) Very delicious! Otherwise, I can only repeat the points of my first review: Semi is very friendly and accommodating. It responds to extra requests and also stops at sights not previously agreed. He helps communicate with locals and gives tips on where to drink and eat. Overall highly recommended!

    Excellent visit and driver on top!

    Arnaud_D, Oct 2025
    Excellent visit to these three emblematic sites in this corner of Tunisia. Amine, our driver, a pearl, super nice, showed us around with good addresses, restaurant in El jam, best coffee in the area offered in Sousse, bakery to taste and even a tasting of makroudh on the way! A big thank you to Amine for her kindness and advice to arrange other visits.
