★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 451 reviews · 8 to 9 hours · from $30Our pick

Review of Tunisia’s private day tour to El Jem, Kairouan, and Monastir, with flexible stops, hotel pickup, costs, and practical tips.

“We were fortunate to visit Kairouan and El Jem with an incredible driver named Mohammed Amine. He was very accommodating during the tour and guided us during the tour. He provided plenty of time during the stop at El Jem and provided good conversation during the driving. We had an unusual request and went out of his way to accommodate us. The tour to historic Kairouan and El Jem went smoothly because of the driver’s efforts and we were able to see everything we wanted to see. Mohammed Amine went above and beyond and made sure we saw some of the best that Tunisia has to offer.”
