★★★★★★★★★★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.”

Review of a private Tunisia day tour from Tunis or Hammamet to Kairouan, El Jem, and Monastir, with practical tips on timing and value.

“The sites are really spread out so there is a lot of driving between the three sites. That said, all three are worth seeing, especially the Mosque at Kairouan and El Jem. Both guide and driver were very good, with the guide very knowledgable and accommodating and the driver careful and thoughtful. Since there are hours in the car the driver's skills become as important as the guide's.”
