Volledige dag Dougga & Bulla Regia Via Testour Privétour met lunch
Beschrijving
Dougga is het hoogtepunt van de Romeinse aanwezigheid in Tunesië en kijkt majestueus uit over de heuvels. Wat het misschien zo mooi maakt, is de geografie - hoog in de lucht, het is een foto van groen en haar stenen pilaren staan trots tegen het groene platteland. Het neemt een ongebruikelijke positie in voor een Romeinse stad, omdat de oorsprong ervan al ver vóór de Romeinen dateert, sterker nog, het was een Numidisch bolwerk en genoot grote welvaart door Masinissa, zijn heerser. Bulla Regia is een opmerkelijke Romeinse stad, in het noordwesten van Tunesië, in de buurt van de moderne stad Jendouba. Het wordt gevierd vanwege zijn semi-ondergrondse behuizing, een functie die hoogstwaarschijnlijk een reactie was op de noodzaak van bescherming tegen extreme hitte in de zomer en kou in de winter. De ervaring van het verkennen van complete, prachtig bewaarde villa's is vrij ongelooflijk; Bulla Regia blijft een unieke Romeinse stad met twee verdiepingen tellende woningen met één verdieping onder de grond.

Reisroute
Dougga is het hoogtepunt van de Romeinse aanwezigheid in Tunesië en kijkt majestueus uit over de heuvels. Wat het misschien zo esthetisch aantrekkelijk maakt, is de geografie - hoog gelegen, het is een beeld van groen en haar stenen zuilen steken trots af tegen het groene landschap. Het neemt een ongebruikelijke positie in voor een Romeinse stad omdat de oorsprong ver voor de Romeinen dateert. Het was in feite een Numidisch bolwerk en genoot grote welvaart door Masinissa, de heerser.
Bulla Regia is een opmerkelijke Romeinse stad, in het noordwesten van Tunesië, vlakbij de moderne stad Jendouba. Het staat bekend om zijn semi-ondergrondse behuizing, een kenmerk dat hoogstwaarschijnlijk een antwoord was op de behoefte aan bescherming tegen overmatige hitte in de zomer en kou in de winter. De ervaring van het verkennen van complete, uitstekend bewaard gebleven villa's is vrij ongelooflijk; Bulla Regia blijft een unieke Romeinse stad met woningen met twee verdiepingen en een verdieping onder de grond.
Scenic Pass door Testour: Geniet van een rit door Testour, met de nadruk op de Andalusische architectuur en de unieke Grote Moskee.

The driver comes to the hotel lobby on time and is friendly. I have no problem with the co-minications during the tour and they are reliable. It was good to have a local guide explain the ruins using his extensive knowledge, but the driver was the best.
Dougga is the site in Tunisia. It is 10 times better then Carthage. I had a wonderful driver pick me up and take me to both sites, but Dougga is the best site in the country
Dougga and Bulla Regia are both fascinating glimpses into history. The guide(s) provided in depth and knowledgeable information. Highly recommend.
Paid for a private tour, but the guide at Dougga added extra people outside our group to the tour and the guide tried to add two entire families we didn't know to the Bulla Regis tour. We paid for private - you expect a private tour! For the money paid the lunch was ok but basic and no water or drinks provided. A lot of driving which we weren't warned about and the guide was late at Bulla Regis too The ruins themselves are spectacular but we paid way over the odds for a private tour that wasn't private... Use a different company for your tour!
Only had a driver for this tour, the guides appearing at Dougga and Bulla Regia, who were based at each site, so paid by the tour company. The driver had to ask directions from the public several times and didn't speak a lot of English, so a bit odd for a tour company not to know how to get to these famous sites, but we did get there and they were worth the visit. Something every tourist should go and see due to the fascinating history at each site. Testour was a bit of a let down as the driver couldn't advise us of what to see, but we managed to find the mosque with the backwards clock, although we had no context. Note to tour company - at least have some handout to show the tourists if the driver can't tell us...
We booked this and another tour months in advance but this tour operator seems to keep no record of their bookings so during the night they realized that they have to pick us up next morning and they cancelled the tour. If we weren’t awake, we would have woken up to a cancelled tour and no possibility to book anything else. This tour was scheduled for the next day so we asked for a confirmation via Viator – no reply. Only after contacting them via Whatsapp and insisting on the confirmation via Viator, they confirmed and this is when they started looking for a driver as they didn’t prepare this tour either, just like the one that they cancelled a day before. This poor guy spoke zero English, got a terrible car WITHOUT A/C (which was promised in the reservation details) and he had zero clue about the region he was supposed to take us to - it is absolutely not his fault as he got contacted a few hours before the pickup time so he had no chance to prepare himself. He was a retired old man, we were grateful that he accepted driving us as otherwise we would have received another cancellation. As a result we wasted time driving around as he had no navigation and has never been there before. At some point my partner got tired of it and guided him around using Google Maps. Avoid this agency, they are unprofessional and do not deliver what they promise. Worst case they will simply cancel your reservation last minute, ruining your holidays.
First, to clarify, we were only able to locate one booking under your name on Viator. This booking was for the Car and Driver Only service. This option clearly specifies that a guide is not included and that the driver is not guaranteed to speak English. We kindly ask that you ensure the correct option is selected when making a reservation, as we offer different packages depending on the level of service required. Regarding your comments about the organization: the driver received the booking the day before and was dispatched on time. There was no delay in the pickup. We also note that the vehicle provided corresponds to the standard category included in this specific service. If a higher level of comfort or an English-speaking guide is required, this must be selected at the time of booking under the appropriate option. The service delivered was in line with the option that was booked.
Kamel was a fantastic guide! The four of us enjoyed his extensive knowledge and hus authentic professional approach very much. We learned so much about the history of the area and ruins and are so grateful for this opportunity to explore this area with a local gude. Thanks Kamel! Our only struggles with the trip was in communicating with operator. We had tried to contact them numerous times to confirm our pickup up and they never messaged us back. This left us feeling unsupported and unsure of what was happening, but luckily, our experience and guide made up for that! Thanks Kamel!
The team communicated very well. Since I was there during Ramadan, many factors were involved that I was not aware of. Through good communications, we were able to get an early start, and the entire day went very smoothly and perfect. Lunch was enjoyable and I would recommend this tour.
Excellent guide Anis and driver Arbie (who even lent my friend his coat given how cold it was with the wind in Dugga). Received a lot of great information at both Bulla Regia and Dougga, which are both amazing in their own way. Bella Rugía allowed you to see two story houses and had a very large baths. Dougga was very extensive and had many interesting places. Lunch at local restaurant was very tasty. Highly recommend the tour if you like Roman historical sites.
Ashref was excellent driver, came to pickup on time with good communication. I liked this tour seeing 2 famous Roman ruins in one day. I recommend absolutely.
