The museum is worth spending an hour or two. It's very interesting and if you can find a guide, it'd be worth it.
Thank you very much for your kind review! We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed your time with us!
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!

Tour was great, Ala was friendly, informative and never rushed us.. well worth the visit but not suitable for wheelchair user at the amptheatre..
Thank you so much for your kind words! We hope to welcome you again on another experience soon!
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.
hank you so much for your wonderful feedback! We’re delighted you enjoyed your Trip with us. We hope to welcome you again soon for more adventures!
Great experience! Professional and interesting guide who knows a lot about his country. I recommend.
Merci beaucoup pour votre retour ! Nous sommes ravis d’apprendre que vous avez passé une excellente journée. Au plaisir de vous accueillir de nouveau à l’avenir !
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.
Thank you so much for your kind words! We're thrilled to hear that your trip felt like an adventure and hope to welcome you again for more unforgettable experiences in Tunisia!
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.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the excursion and had a great experience with our guide.
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.
Thank you for your kind review! We look forward to welcoming you again!
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.
Thank you for your feedback! We're happy to have been part of your journey and hope to see you again in Tunisia.
