We had just 8 hours in Tunisia during our cruise, and this tour made every minute count. From the moment we reached out, the agency was responsive and flexible, customizing the itinerary to fit our tight schedule. The day before docking, they confirmed everything and gave helpful tips. When we arrived, our guide, Chaoki, was waiting right at the port. We hit the road immediately, heading to Uthina—an awe-inspiring Roman amphitheater we had entirely to ourselves. It was surreal: ancient mosaics, towering pillars, sweeping farmland, and not a single other tourist in sight. Next, we explored the hauntingly beautiful Berber village of Zriba Al Olia, perched in the mountains with stone houses and panoramic views of the valley. Lunch was a highlight. On the outskirts of Hammamet, we had tender octopus couscous and the freshest grilled sea bream I’ve ever tasted. Chaoki even demonstrated how to fillet it like a pro—with just a fork and knife. With a bit of time left, we visited the blue-and-white village of Sidi Bou Said for handmade pottery. The shops were charming, and my wife fell in love with a beautiful set of dishes decorated with a fish motif. Chaoki brought us back to port precisely at 15:02—two minutes past our requested time, and only because we didn’t want to leave. He was knowledgeable, engaging, and incredibly attentive to our needs, even teaching us a few local phrases and sharing Tunisian music along the way.

I went on this tour together with my sister and can highly recommend it. It was a full day of visiting different places from an old Roman city , Water Temple to berber village. Our tour guide was a great guy who could speak fluent english, answered all our questions and made sure we were well looked after. We had a nice walk through the old ruins of Uthina in the morning, very delicious lunch at local farm and then as the sun started to set we visited the berber village. That had a special charm - to walk through this ghost town situated on the top of the mountain whilst fabulous scenery opened in front of us. Yes, I would definatelly highly recommend this tour to anyone and everyone.
