Our transport arrived at our hotel on time. We had Omar as our driver and Salim as our guide. Omar drove a nice car and had an interesting route planned. Salim spoke good English and detailed information about everything we saw. Omar and Salim knew the other guides, hosts and shop owners at each stop making us feel safe and relaxed. They provided advice on tips and prices. Conversations were fun, lighthearted and flowed really well throughout the 2-day tour. The tour gave us an insight into life for locals. We took great photos of different types of towns and desert terrains. We saw major Star Wars film sets - Salim was very knowledgable and used his phone to provide links to the scenes. Other highlights included seeing the architecture of the old medina, berber villages and troglodyte houses. We also had experiences not on the itinerary such as drives over parts of the salt lakes and sand dunes, and visiting the large water cooling system that maintains palm tree irrigation.

Fares our guide was so accommodating, professional, genuinely caring and engaged really well with the whole group. He went above and beyond with all the information/history provided no never tired of anyone’s questions, always answering with smile. This trip is jam packed full of things to do, which were all amazing. I would highly recommend this tour for the sheer amount of things you get to see and do in such a short time. Tunisia really is a beautiful country and this trip really highlighted this.

5 out of 5 stars

Great opportunity. In record time we visited some of the most emblematic places in Tunisia. We think that without this, it would have been much too complicated for us to see them. We would have certainly seen less, even if we took triple the time. A lot of km traveled, but Anis is an exceptional driver. Mohamed, the guide, was able to teach us a lot of great things, which made the journeys feel less long. It was intense but the diversity of landscapes that we saw is exceptional. I recommend it.

5 out of 5 stars

Unforgettable - We covered so much in 2 days and it was a great experience. Guide and driver took us through the country while providing cultural insights and fun. I was travelling alone as were many fellow tourers and all in all it was an unforgettable trip that I’d definitely recommend to new comers to this great country.

5 out of 5 stars
