An exceptional day from start to finish! The service was impeccable: punctual driver, comfortable vehicle, and excellent organization. The El Jem amphitheater is simply impressive and allows you to discover an incredible piece of history. In Monastir, the views of the sea and the historical monuments are magnificent. The medina of Kairouan, with its authentic alleys and unique atmosphere, is a true cultural treasure. Throughout the excursion, we were accompanied with professionalism and kindness. An enriching experience that I highly recommend to anyone wishing to discover the most beautiful historical sites in Tunisia.
What an amazing experience. Words can’t explain how good and vital Youssef was for us. He took us on a tour from Sousse visiting different monuments. El Jem has to be up there as the best, not to mention Kairouan and Monastir.
Had a lovely time especially yosuf brother made it special as spoke in English and was very friendly and helpful he made the day fabulous
This booking is marketed as a private tour but there is no tour offered. This is only a private taxi for the day to take you to sites. No guide of any kind or site admission are included. This is a fraudulent listing and should be avoided.
This review is completely inaccurate. The guest received the full private tour exactly as described. Our tours are conducted by a private driver-guide, not a taxi service, and all inclusions and exclusions are clearly stated before booking. Admission fees are not included, as specified in the listing. According to our driver, the guest was satisfied and even enjoyed the tour. This review was only submitted after we declined an unjustified refund request. Our listing is transparent, and many satisfied guests have confirmed that they received exactly what was promised.
“A wonderful experience! El Jem amphitheater is breathtaking, Kairouan Medina full of history, and Monastir by the sea is just beautiful. The tour was well organized with enough free time to explore. Highly recommended!”
This was a wonderful trip. I feel so grateful to have been able to go on such a well organised and FUN day out in such a beautiful country - especially solo travelling as a female! All the sights were incredible and totally worth the visit! I was also just completely in awe at the beauty of Tunisia's landscape as we drove through the countryside and through the villages. We were even able to stop for some fresh bread made by a local lady in one of the villages - it was delicious and still warm! I am so thankful to Wajdi for being such a kind and patient driver-guide for the trip. I felt so safe the entire day. Despite the fact I cannot speak much french or arabic, I was still able to connect with some locals throughout the day and have a really lovely experience. I really recommend this trip to anyone considering!
