Incredible Roman ampitheatre
Highly recommended it, our tour guide was amazing. We learned and saw so much. Everything on time, food plenty to chose from. Yes, if you need a tour , this is the one for you.
Great activity, everything was included as in the description. Appropriate time dedicated to all sites and stops. Informative tour guide. The only thing I would improve was the lunch, restaurant was basic, a buffet.
I was given the time for pick up the day before my tour and was picked up promptly from my hotel. The guide Mohammed was very knowledgeable and was keen to share information about the tour and his country. The sites were a must visit while in the area and it was never too rushed.
The absolute highlight of my trip. Every stop on the trip was very interesting. Fantastic experience. Guide and driver were so lovely.
The mosque of Kairouan I imagined much more impressive..The complex is simpler than expected..
