Very mediocre experience, some activities like the mausoleum sidi abid were not carried out, the guide was shipping the tours and helped unpleasant after finishing the tours, not even saying goodbye to us at the end of the tour, one of the most unpleasant experience I had on viator and I had to make at least twenty excursions with them.
I had an incredible excursion with Signature Travel & Events to discover some of the most fascinating historical places in Tunisia: Kairouan, El Djem Amphitheatre and Monastir. The whole trip was perfectly organized from start to finish. The guide was very professional, knowledgeable, and passionate about Tunisian history and culture. He explained the importance of Kairouan as one of the most important spiritual cities in the Islamic world and shared many interesting details about the traditions and history of the region. Visiting the magnificent Amphitheatre of El Jem was truly impressive. It is one of the best preserved Roman monuments in the world, and walking inside this incredible structure felt like traveling back in time. In Monastir, we enjoyed beautiful views of the Mediterranean Sea and visited historical landmarks that made the experience even more special. The atmosphere of the city is charming and relaxing. The vehicle was very clean, comfortable, and perfect for a long excursion. The driver was excellent—punctual, friendly, and very professional.

We took this family excursion (with two teenagers) and really enjoyed the day. The visit to Kairouan was very rewarding, including the Grand Mosque and the Medina. The guide took the time to explain history and traditions in a clear and interesting way. The highlight for us was the amphitheatre of El Jem, absolutely impressive! The children loved to imagine the gladiators in this huge monument, very well preserved. In Monastir, the view from the Ribat is beautiful, especially with the sea in the background. A nice way to end the day. Comfortable transport, respected timing and serious organization. We recommend this excursion to families who wish to discover Tunisian history in a single well-organized day.
We did the family excursion to Kairouan, El Jem and Monastir and the experience was overall very positive. The organization was clear and the program respected. The driver was punctual and professional, and the vehicle comfortable for the day. We enjoyed visiting the historical sites, including Kairouan and the El Jem amphitheatre, which are definitely worth a visit. Monastir was a pleasant stop to end the day. It was a well-organized excursion, suitable for a family outing, that we can recommend to those who want to discover these cities in one day.
We did half of what we were to do at each stop. We were not allowed to walk through any of the cities, we could not sea the museum in el Jem, and we had to fight to go to Monastir, as the guys was not prepared initially to bring us there, even if it was included into our tour.
Hello Silvia, Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry that the tour did not fully meet your expectations. This excursion is a full-day trip (approximately 10 hours) departing from Tunis to Kairouan, El Jem, and Monastir. Due to the long distances covered in the same day, the time allocated at each stop is necessarily limited in order to respect the schedule and ensure a safe return. All the mentioned sites are indeed included in the itinerary. We sincerely regret any misunderstanding regarding the pace of the day. Kind regards, Signature Travel & Events
