The reality does not match the description.

They sell us so-called visits to tourist places, but in reality we make much more visits to merchants than on sites. Beware of those who sell you the 2 days for 160€, while the average price is 130€. It says on the ad that there are no physical restrictions. If you have back problems, especially don’t go there, going on the very rough track is very demanding. We’re a lot swung in the vehicle, and it lasts 3/4 of an hour, on the way out and the same on the way back. If the weather is not good, cancel the excursion, because you will not enjoy anything, which was our case. Actually 600km of road and track in 32 hours. Departure 7am and return the next day at 3pm. In tataouine, we only saw that the shopping center is said to be artisanal where they brought us. And when you don’t buy, they don’t like it very much. Ali, who sold us the excursion to the hotel, had no business with our requests. We had asked for seats in the vehicle in relation to our physical health, and two separate tents for the night in the desert. He had not specified anything to the guide. For the seats in the vehicle, we arranged with the other tourists, however, at the camp in the desert, we had to pay an extra 20 € to have the tents ⛺️ separated The guide and driver are great. Beware of canvassers in hotels. After veculiar experience, I advise you to rent a vehicle and make the excursion with friends. The roads are very well signposted. And at least you’ll spend more time at the sights than at the shops. Also watch out for carriage rides. Go directly to the outside to see the checkers. At the hotel vommercial, we paid 50€ for a visit to Mudoun, which was to last 3h30. In fact the coachman took us to the center of Midoun by nice little paths, then made us go into a department store, then another, then another...seeing that we bought nothing, he took us back to the hotel 2 hours later. We did the same thing by taxi for 8 dinars. A tip, try as hard as you can to get out of the hotel to find your activities or here on tripadvisor. Friendly.

An incredible day!!!

We were picked up on time 6am at the Raddison Blu in shared van. Two other couples were picked up at different hotels who had their own Polish speaking guide. We had requested an English speaking guide and were so fortunate to get Bagher. He did an excellent driving all day (hour tour) and was knowledgeable, funny and was very attentive. The tour itself was incredible stopping at Ksar Ghilane (amazing), a troglodyte house that is still the actual house of a Berber family, Matmata and the set of Star Wars a New Hope. This was a perfect tour that exceeded expectations with no stops to sell you rugs or other things. Bagher - As-salaamu alaykum ("peace be upon you")

We received a notification the same day at 06:30 for a reminder of the day before we inform that the departure was staggered at 07:10, we got up at 5:30 to be sure to be on time for a departure at 6am as indicated on the website!!! In the end, we aborted this activity when it starts badly, we go no further. the person via WhatsApp did not try too hard to change our minds we were refunded in full. Details PayPal payment So the activity may have been good but obviously it wasn't for us

Recommended day tour in the desert.

Very good tour. They pick us up in a good car with A/C, which was highly appreciated. The driver was nice and kind. The tour included all the main attractions of the desert within reasonable time.
