This tour didn’t live up...

George_A, Nov 2025

This tour didn’t live up to its reviews; that could be partly due to the guide who was nice but not verse in the archaeology and history of Carthage. It started late as they had a car problem but the guide told me “the tour is for Sidi Bou Said and Carthage” but since you’re staying in Sidi Bou Said we will only do Carthage. I told him that my tour was for Carthage only… it was supposed to be in depth 4-hour trip which ended up being 2 and a half; and, importantly missed the Tophat archaeological site (though it was in the schedule) and I had to return to Carthage another day - which was a blessing as at the Tophat I met with Hussam, a guide who was on site - initially I was not sure if I’d hire him but as he started explaining the various areas at the site I was so impressed and didn’t want the tour to end. Extremely knowledgeable and articulate, and up to date with the current theories of what this place was as well as the recent excavations and their outcomes and evidence supporting one theory (of no child sacrifice). My suggestion would be that at least for those travelers who’ve booked a half a day tour of Carthage you pair them with the most knowledgeable and expert guides who can bring the history and the life in ancient Carthage to life.

Great Carthage tour

Joao_C, Sep 2025

The tour is very well organized. Our day was amazing. Excellent guide Boubou. She was very kind and helpful with our 4 year old daughter. Loved everything in the tour. Guide gave plenty of information and all the time we needed to see everything. Highly recommend it.

This guide made our day in Tunis great.

David_M, Jul 2024

The guide was absolutely amazing. Very knowledgeable and very nice. He seemed to know quite a bit about the whole history of the area. His driver was always courteous and seemed to enjoy his part in all of it (maybe because he stayed in the air conditioned car). It was incredibly hot on that day, but they made sure that we were not getting too overheated, as best as they could. Requires a good bit of walking, including up and down hill, and much of it isn't wheelchair accessible (some parts had ramps that I saw, though). I cannot recommend this guide highly enough.

Response from Host, Aug 2024

Terrific Tour in Tunisia

Ken_B, Jun 2024

Our tour guide, Nouraddean, was absolutely amazing. He was a wealth of history and knowledge. We had no idea about the rich history of Tunisia and its importance to the world and he made it come alive for us. He tailored the tour to our shorter time in port, showed us the most important sights, and added stops to our tour based on our questions and interests. When we spoke to other cruise passengers who booked excursions through the ship or did things on their own, our experience was above and beyond what they did. I would go back to Tunisia or anywhere else our guide was leading a tour in a heart beat.

Response from Host, Aug 2024

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear that Nour was able to bring the rich history of Tunisia to life for you. It's fantastic that he could tailor the tour to your schedule and interests, and that you felt your experience was exceptional compared to others. We’re proud of Nour’s dedication and knowledge. We’d be delighted to welcome you back for another unforgettable tour, whether in Tunisia or elsewhere. Safe travels!

Great experience in a short amount of time!

Aaren_S, Feb 2023

I had flight delays, but the tour company (Saharansky) was able to work with me to get this tour changed and amended for my needs. The guide was great, helpful, and gave good insight with history and Tunisian culture.

Wonderful tour of Ancient Carthage.

Joshua_J, Oct 2022

A fantastic way to experience many of the ancient sites of Carthage and to learn more about the area and the civilisations that have inhabited it over the past millennia. The perfect way to see a diverse range of sites (Birsa Hill, the Tophet, the Baths of Antoninus Pius and many more) easily and comfortably.
