Driver punctual, kind and reliable. Competent and passionate guide of his work. Both very good and super recommended.
Our guide Dora was amazing. She was very accommodating and knowledgeable. It’s obvious she loves her job. It is a long day. We left at eight and got back around 530. Both attractions are amazing especially the amphitheater. My only complain is car was a little small for a long day on the road. Thank you Dora for a great day.
Had a great day tour to El Jem. The museum with all the mosaic was incredible. Our guide Boubou (hope I spelled it right) was very knowledgeable and had a great driver. Highly recommend.
Thank you for your lovely review! We're so glad you enjoyed the day tour to El Jem — the mosaics truly are breathtaking. We're happy to hear Boubou and the driver made the experience even better. And yes, you spelled her name right! Thank you for the recommendation!
Excellent day trip with wonderful guide (Bouhdid) and driver (Hashem). El Jem is NOT to be missed on any visit to Tunisia.
Thank you for your kind words! We're so glad you enjoyed your day trip with Bouhdid and Hashem — they’ll be happy to hear your feedback. And we couldn’t agree more: El Jem is absolutely a must-see in Tunisia!
I highly recommend this tour. Everything went great! We visited wonderful places, and our tour guide, Mr. Ridha, is an extremely competent professional, who conducted the tour in a very informative and friendly way, speaking impeccable English. The driver (unfortunately I forgot his name) is also a great professional, who drove very safely.

Great car and safe driving into the inland of Tunisia. Enjoyed the tour of El Jam and Monastir. My only complaint is that the guide's English wasn't great haha. Otherwise had a great time
Really enjoyed the tour to Monastir and El Jem. Our tour guide was friendly and knowledgeable and the driver was very courteous. It’s a long day and you’ll be driving for a while but it’s worth the trip.
