We booked two private half-day tours, one to Kairouan and one to El Jem. Our requests regarding the vehicle and the design of the tour were taken into account. The drivers were very friendly and, as far as their knowledge goes, also very helpful. We requested not to visit sales events like carpets or perfumes, etc. This was adhered to. The drivers' German skills were okay (better than our Tunisian ;-) ), but communication in English went better. The price for both tours was quite high for Tunisian standards, considering that the service was essentially just the round trip and admission fees had to be paid separately.
Sama and Muhammad were absolutely amazing Made me and my famliy feel very comfortable. Went above and beyond for us Cannot recommend enough.
Very good experience. Samah was very helpful and knowledgeable. We were able to see many different sights and we gained an understanding of what we were visiting.
Amazing day out to see the beautiful places with an amazing driver Samah
Amazing experience. Bader our driver was amazing, friendly and such a brilliant tour guide. We wish him all the best. Thank you for everything.
Our trip with Kings Travel Tour was truly unforgettable. Watching the sun set over the Sahara Desert and riding camels across the dunes were moments we’ll always treasure. The journey through the Atlas Mountains was just as special, with breathtaking scenery and meaningful cultural experiences that gave us a real sense of the region. Everything was thoughtfully organised — the accommodation was comfortable, the food was consistently delicious, and the whole trip felt like excellent value for money. From the very first booking enquiry, Sabi’s warmth, professionalism, and attention to detail made us feel completely at ease and well looked after throughout. We couldn’t recommend Kings Travel Tour more highly for anyone looking for a genuine, well-curated Tunisian adventure.
For my first visit to Tunisia, I had a wonderful day with "Wadji." This man is a true gentleman, attentive, smiling, and kind, showing us Kairouan and El Jem with his excellent knowledge. Thank you, Wadji.
If I had to sum up the day's experience, it would be "110% excellence." Our driver, Wadji, was exceptionally professional during our visit to Kairouan and El Jem. He explained all the important sights and was very attentive to our questions. I highly recommend this company.
I had the chance to visit El-Jem and Dougga with Sabih at the wheel. Two days of discovery of archaeological sites of Tunisia but also of Tunisian cuisine thanks to the recommendations of Sabih.If you are planning a trip to Tunisia, I strongly recommend using the services of Sabih which can also help you organize excursions according to your interests. Professional, courteous, we feel the love that Sabih has for his work and the happiness of making tourists from all walks of life discover the beauties of his country.
I had the chance to participate in three excursions with Sameh, and each one was a real success. History, culture and nature blended beautifully, allowing me to learn while experiencing unique moments. His professionalism and passion make a real difference.
