El Jem Coliseum and Musee

The tour to the Coliseum in El Jem was great! Our tour guide Alaa was great explaining lots about the history of Tunisia while were were driving! He was very friendly and patient with my mother as she has mobility issues and while I was inside the Coliseum he had coffee with her at the cafe across the street. She truly enjoyed the conversation with him and his relaxed and calm demeanor. The mosaic museum was the 2nd stop also a great experience and we had fun talking on the way back to Monastir and listening to his great play list. One of the best guide I have ever come across and I have come across many over the years!

Best trip ever

We had a perfect morning with our guide Alaa who was very interesting with facts and advice. The amphitheater was amazing and beautiful and the mosaic museum was lovely. Alaa then kindly dropped us off at a different location to our pick up point so that we could explore that area, as we asked what else we could see. He also told us how to find transport to get back to our hotel. Not to mentioned his great car playlist.

El Jem with friends

Our trip felt like 3 friends out for a day, Ala took all our needs into account. We enjoyed it so much we booked to go to Cathage and Sidi Bou Said only if he could take us. El Jem tips, if you want to go up to top tier, wear sensible shoes. The museum is amazing, take your time to understand the mythology inside the mosaic. Highly recommended.

Amazing and informative Tour

The tour was fantastic! Our tour guide Alaa was amazing! He showed us all the really cool spots and explained in detail all the sites. He was very friendly and patient with us as some of us had mobility problems. He even dropped us back in the hotel.

Great guided tour

Our guide, Ala arrived on time and waited whilst we changed some money at reception. He gave us a friendly greeting and went through the itinerary for the excursion. On our way to El Jem, Ala gave us information of the areas we drove through and answered all our questions. At El Jem, Ala spoke of the history of the arena and took us underground. He then left us to walk freely but was on hand if needed. We then headed to the mosaic museum and again Ala was great with his knowledge of the mosaics and sculptures. We had plenty of time to wander around the museum. Then when we were ready Ala took us back to the hotel. Really enjoyed our trip.

El Jem

The Collosseum and Museum at El Jem was exceptional. We had a private guide he was very informative, knowledgeable and polite. He was a careful driver and made us feel at ease. The Collessum was very well preserved and offered a great insight into the past. Whilst the Museum contained the finest mosaics we have ever seen. A wonderful trip.

Brilliant

Abdullah was a brilliant guide, very knowledgable even on subjects totally unrelated to El Jem. Had a fantastic morning, plenty of time, can’t rate it highly enough.
