Private Tour to Kairouan, El Jem & Monastir from Tunis_hammamet - Kairouan’s Great Mosque and its fortress-like design

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 301 reviews · from $98Our pick

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.”
