I went on this excursion with my two boys, aged 16 and 18. In addition to coming back with incredible memories and having learned a lot of interesting things, we had a wonderful encounter with Maher, a friendly, funny, available, and attentive guide. We can only recommend him to you with our eyes closed. Thank you to him for everything!
A big thank you to the entire team, especially to Farkher Ben Oun, who was very professional and attentive to us. A very enriching trip that we highly recommend. Thanks again for these two magnificent days.
Magnificent outing with Farkher Ben Oun, who was very attentive to us! We enjoyed sharing with Farkher, who told us about the country and his family; it was a real pleasure! Discovering the interior of the country pleased us greatly, and sleeping in the desert was a real change of scenery and a very beautiful experience! Kudos also for the organization; it was top-notch! We will talk about it to those around us!
Great ride to do! The quad in the Sahara is just exceptional (extra charge). Thank you to our driver Saber for his kindness and friendliness!

Nous avons vécu une très belle expérience en septembre dernier ! Notre guide Toto et notre chauffeur Saber ont été à la fois très gentils et très professionnels. Je recommande vivement cette aventure inoubliable ! 🌟
My best memory of Tunisia. A total change of scenery where we could see a multitude of different things. I was in an SUV with two couples who were my adoptive family for 2 days. Many thanks to Saber, our super driver with whom we laughed a lot between our playlists and the races against the other drivers;) (we won) , always smiling and very nice. Thanks also to our guide Toto for his humor. 2 days out of time full of joy (and a magical starry night).
