  • Impressive journey through the history and present of the country with long journey times

    The tour took us from Tunis far to the south of Tunisia. We had not expected such long distances (almost 1500 km) . Nevertheless, we were fascinated by many points of the varied program. Neither the huge, well-preserved amphitheatre of El Jem nor the desert oases would have been so impressive if we had not booked this tour. The desert camp - designed for up to 120 people - we had almost to ourselves and were very fascinated by the sandbread - which did not taste like sand - which was prepared in the embers. The night in the Bedouin tent was less cold and uncomfortable than we had feared and the starry sky was impressive. We found the salt lake plate less exciting - the groundwater contains a lot of salt and is quite close to the surface under a layer of sand. Except for saline puddles, there was little to see. The tour through the desert oasis of Chebika to the waterfall was very nice due to the few December tourists. In high season, up to tu 1000 tourists a day walk through the oasis, but we had them almost to ourselves. The cave dwellings we could visit filled us with humility. Even today, families live here without electricity, running water and with the fear that rains can simply wash away the dwelling in days. On the way back - several hundred kilometers of country road - one could see the simple living conditions deep in the south of the country experience.

    It was a very nice 2 days tour. The guide was well educated and even the owner came with us to the tour. The travell agency has also other nice programs and they can arrange flexible private tours for you or your group.

  • Once in a lifetime experience and made friends with our guides :)

    An amazing adventure with my son Tristan! We just returned from a 2-day private desert adventure to the Tunisian Sahara camp and ruins, and it was absolutely incredible. Our guide, Abdel, was fantastic! He was so knowledgeable about the history, culture, and the desert itself. He made the entire experience engaging and fun for both my son and me. The journey through the Tunisian landscapes was stunning, and arriving at the Sahara camp felt like stepping into another world. The camp was comfortable and had a wonderful, authentic feel. The night sky was breathtaking, and the traditional food was delicious. Sharing stories and music around the campfire was a highlight. Exploring the ancient ruins with Abdel was fascinating. He brought the history to life with his insightful explanations. Tristan was captivated! This private tour was perfectly organized and felt so personalized. Abdel truly made the experience exceptional. If you're looking for a memorable and authentic desert adventure in Tunisia, especially if you're traveling with family, I wholeheartedly recommend this tour and definitely ask for Abdel!

  • Delightful tour

    Though smaller in comparison to many countries, Tunisia is a marvelous country with wonderful diversity.  I don’t think we would have been able to truly appreciate its depth if it weren’t for the dynamic duo of Abdel and Ghazi.  The knowledge and passion they have for their country helped us to find many surprising gems along our adventure.  Their playful banter made for the most delightful tour experiences we could have asked for.  Thank you for an unforgettable experience!

    Everything about this was great. They created a custom itinerary for me to fit in everything I wanted to see in the days I had. I started in Djerba, did overnight in Douz (with Matmata and other sites on the way) then to the chatt and Tozeur, then on to Sousse. An excellent 2 nonstop days. The guide was great – a former archeologist (and specialist in ancient languages - he speaks three) was really knowledgable, as well as just a great guy. Driver was also great, I felt well-taken care of. And for the rest of my Tunisia trip, the two of them were great resources for information and recommendations. The camel ride to the overnight camp was one of the highlights of my entire Tunisia trip. Though, two hours is a surprisingly long time on a camel – I was walking funny for at least a day. Totally recommend booking with this company – and all the sites I mentioned as well.
