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.”

Cook with a Sousse family, shop the Medina market, and share homemade Tunisian dishes, sweets, and tea in an intimate eight-hour experience.
“This was the highlight of my trip to Sousse. Shopping at the medina with Nabil, and then being invited into the Khairallah family home to cook, eat and get to know them was a true privilege. I would recommend this experience to everyone. Thank you!”
Ride a quad through Hammamet’s rural hills, enjoy Gulf views, and get practical tips on timing, dust, guides, transport, and value.
“The booking was worth the money that's for sure. It was real fun to ride the quad through hammamet. Unfortunately, the ride was only 75 minutes with breaks. Also it wasn't on the hills, it's more like a valley. The time was changed from 09.00 to 10.30 and at 10.30 we got the message we will be picked up at 11.30. That was a little bit annoying, but not more. The guide was really friendly and helpful. I would recommend it anyway. We selected the pickup from our hotel. This worked perfectly.”

Plus, it was helpful to ride a bike with a local to understand how bikes, cars, and pedestrians navigate the roads.”
