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

The day trip was great: Massef (the driver) and Ammar (the guide) were friendly and extremely knowledgeable, giving us not only information about the sites in program, but also about history, society and way of living in the whole country. For Tunisian prices, the tour was quite costly, but there is no other way to see what we have seen in one day and with that depth of information. Definitely worth it.

5 out of 5 stars
