We had a fantastic day on this tour. Hamdi was our driver and contacted us the day before to confirm arrangements. He was very friendly and knowledgeable- it was great to see more of Tunisia and hear about their culture/history. The places we visited were very beautiful. Hamdi was happy to take lots of family pictures for us.
The drive between sites was long, but certainly not boring! The views were great, the music was great the conversation was great. I got to explore these areas on my own time.
Very flexible and laid back attitude which was exactly what we wanted and liked. But the guide was more of a driver than an actual guide. We started but late (our request) but we’re not aware that this meant we ran out of time as some entrances closed and then we got stuck in traffic. Resulting in a very long and tiring day.
Enjoy entire trip friendly driver and gave plenty time at each location would recommend to others people
We had an absolutely brilliant day with our guide and driver Karim. Hotel pickup from sousse was on time and the drive between each stop was an easy and comfortable 1hr each. The scenery on the drive between each destination is beautiful too. Watch out for the flamingos. We spent a bit of time exploring the medina and mosque in kairouan first, which was brilliant. The next stop was el jem and we had a great time walking around the sites at our own pace. The Ribat of Monastir was also fantastic and we recommend you go up the watch tower for amazing views. Please note, it's very narrow steps. We got back to the hotel around 5. It's a long day but didn't feel like it and we do recommend if you're into your islamic and Roman history.
An interesting day out. Felt a little rushed at times trying to fit everything into the time allocated. Driver spoke good English and tried to answer all of our questions.
We started at 8am and got back around 4pm, without stopping for lunch. There is a bit of driving (about 4 of the 8 hours) although in manageable pieces between places.
The sites were very good (highlight of course El Jem and the Ribat). We skipped the Kairouan Medina (having see Tunis and Sousse) but went to the El Jem museum instead - very good if you have the time.
If you are tall, you will likely find the car tight for your legs (although AC is very welcome). Our driver/guide did not have much English so we didn’t get much “lively commentary”.
Remember to look up how much all the entry costs are in advance to reserve your cash needs. We did and were fine but we took this advice from other commenters
Omar, our travel guide was very good, polite and engaging. We visited all the places including a short stop by the Flamingo Nature reserve.
We had an amazing tour with Zied Khelil. We were collected from our hotel and explored many sites including the colesseum , El Jem, Kairouan and Monastir. It was a great day. Zied was friendly and informative. I particularly liked the colesseum and all the mosaics. We had lunch at a roadside BBQ which was excellent. Overall we couldn’t have asked for more. I would definitely recommend this tour with Zied.
This is a great way to get around Tunisia to see the sights. El Jem is incredible. Raf was a great driver and company for the day.
We had a nice day with Ayoub as our driver and the tour was exactly as we expected it to be. Nice air-conditioned car with a calm and safe driver who took us around these beautiful attractions and after everything back to our hotel. Great tour!
The tour was very well structured. Our guide Omar was lovely and on time for every pick up, and very accommodating, providing excellent information. The sites we visited were unique and the lunch spot was delicious. Would highly recommend!
It was a good day, the driver Othmen arrived on time, drove well, and did not rush any of the stops on the itinerary.
I was a solo individual, he also provided good conversation throughout the day and gave good tips about the country/ local area.
Thank you very much
Wonderful trip, Amine was very friendly and knowledgeable, would definitely recommend this day trip.
We had such a wonderful time visiting all of these places! Our guide was helpful, moved at a great pace-we never felt rushed, offered to take our photos, and always kept the AC on and kept us hydrated in between locations. I never felt like we weren’t taken care of and I would recommend our guide and this tour again.
We absolutely loved our day trip with Omar and enjoyed Kairouan & El Jem in particular with Omar introducing us to local people and places along the way. Don’t miss the mosaics at the museum in El Jem. 10/10 thanks Omar.
Throughly enjoyed the places we visited didn’t get to monistar ran out of time had a lovely lunch driver was laid back let us visit sites at our leisure with tips .
Only negative transport uncomfortable for the 4 of us .
Excellent tour. Very flexible. They adapt to your needs. There is a lot of driving on this tour, but Othmane is a great driver and drove safely and skillfully. It was very comfortable.
Our driver for the day was Rajwen he messaged me the day before my VIP tour to confirm my collection time from the hotel.
On the day Rajwen picked us up at our collection time from our hotel in sousse, Rajwen stayed with us throughout the day and had so much knowledge for each site we went too. We are a family of 4 adults and it being our first time in Tunisia this excursion gave us the historical experience of this country. I will be definitely recommending this tour to our friends and family. A MASSIVE thank you to our driver Rajwen 🙂
Response from Host, May 2026

It’s great to know that you enjoyed discovering the history and culture of Tunisia and that the tour created memorable moments for your family.
Rajwen will be very happy to read your kind words and appreciation. Providing a comfortable, informative, and enjoyable experience for our guests is always our priority.
Thank you once again for your recommendation, and we truly hope to welcome you and your family back to Tunisia in the future!
Best regards,
Tour guide khalil was very informative and helpful. He speaks great English. Rode trip lasted for 8 hours. It was excellent experience 👏 really enjoyed tour had so much fun.
It was a great experience, we had lots of fun and our guide Sami was such a kind, caring and entertaining host that made the experience worthwhile and memorable!
We always like to get out for at least a day to see some of the country we have visited. This tour allowed us to do that, with our driver Aymen who was friendly and informative. Driving in Tunisia is definitely not easy, you need local experience. I’m glad I wasn’t behind the wheel. I would recommend this tour.
Long trip but worth it, Omar, our driver was very polite and informative. We got to see the real Tunisia as well as those in the itinerary. Monastir is lovely, the colusseum is huge and in amazing condition, we had lunch opposite the entrance. I have never seen mosaics in such good condition bearing in mind the are about 1800 years old. Nice to put Tunisian history into perspective. The scenery between stops keeps the interest going.
The only thing that was good is the driver - he is kind, polite and very friendly. The company deals this activity with bad faith. I booked the tour 1 month in advance and I received a text to confirm pick up place and date/time. 2 days before the activity, they texted me to pay extra USD30 (on top of already expensive price tour) because it was Ramadhan and long pick up distance even though this was already confirmed 1 month ago - to pressure me last minutes as I cannot find a last minute replacement activity from other company.
On the day, I found out this was not a guided tour and simply just a driver even though it was advertised as driver-guide with history lessons and information etc about the places. Had I known this, I would have booked with other company and rather pay extra money! I love history but at the end I just had to read the information from the boards at the places we visited. I even texted to ask who is the tour guide with me 2 days before and was replied ‘you will find out the day before of the activity’ which is a lie! Bad marketing! I would avoid this company, they operated on bad faith
Response from Host, Mar 2026
Thank you for your review. However, we would like to clarify that several statements in your comment are not accurate.
Your booking clearly specified a driver-host service, not a licensed tour guide, and this information is stated in the activity description. At no point did you request a guide before the tour.
Regarding the extra payment mentioned, we did not request any additional fee, and we have the message history confirming this.
We are glad you appreciated the driver’s professionalism and kindness. Our team always strives to provide transparent information and quality service to all our guests.
Very nice gentleman called Omar picked us up from our hotel and took us around in the company car. All 3 places were very Interesting and we enjoyed the tour a lot.
My experience was amazing. I went with my family of 8 and The two gentlemen yassine and radhwan were so amazing at cooperating with us, making the experience fun and got to know us on a personal level to cooperate with us. Honestly been on so many tours and these tour guides have been the best by far. Even after we had left our phone in the car and they came me travelled 2 hours to drop it off for us. They made the experience fun and personal to us so we could have the best time and make the most out of our experience
Our guide was Omar. Only thing wrong about trip was that tickets were not included in price as per stated in booking
Response from Host, Dec 2025
Thank you very much for your review!
We're happy to hear that you enjoyed your tour with Omar.
Regarding the entrance tickets:
We kindly remind our guests that the entrance fees are clearly mentioned as not included in the “Not Included” section of the tour description at the time of booking. We do our best to make this information easy to find so there are no surprises on the day of the tour.
Rajven our driver had a wealth of knowledge about the places we visited, well worth the price, highly recommended
Good tour with hassle-free processing. The driver did his job reliably with good local knowledge.
