  Mohamed! ( & the Coach Driver, sorry, can't remember your name - but hope your wedding went well!) That's all you should need to know really. Very professional, very knowledgeable - about a great many things,(not just about Tunisia - & yes knew more about Shakespeare than me), very well organised & very caring - wanting to ensure that everybody on the trip was made to feel welcome & involved. (Especially my younger "sister" - actually my teenage Daughter. Obviously I'm going to say that this trip is well worth it - many things packed into the timetable - including a,(gulp), 4am start on the 2nd morning!! - BUT - well worth it to see the Sunrise at a certain point at the Salt Flats! (& yes, the whole coachload did "forgive him" for the early start after this!) Tourist tick box? All checked. Colosseum,(where Gladiator was actually filmed) - Skywalker/Lars Homestead - Camel Ride in the Sahara - Jeep Ride over the Sand Dunes - Mos Espa (another Star Wars location) - Hotel stay & food provided + the very many stories of both the history of the areas & their current states. Needless to say - very Highly Recommended!

  The whole trip was excellent. The driver Said was excellent.The guide Mohammed was brilliant at coordinating this trip. It was really important as we were in Ramadan and therefore all the cafes and restaurants were closed. He had arranged cafes and comfort break stops throughout the coach tour. The camel ride was excellent and the Land Cruiser ride in the desert to the Star Wars site was excellent. We even had lunch in the Star Wars Cafe. Worth the very long days. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend

• Sahara is a must see

  A great experience seeing the sahara desert. Be prepared to see lots of rubbish in the country. Nevertheless, it was a once in a lifetime experience and well organised. Thank you team.

  The whole excursion was fantastic. I met a lot of really nice people which made it fun. As a Star Wars nerd it was excellent! Definitely do the camel ride. The other rides I’ve done in the past were brief in a paddock of sorts on unhealthy camels. These camels were well taken care of and they took you out into the Sahara for at least a hour. You have to get up very very early for both days. You LEAVE at 5 AM the second day. My only issue was they offered a pick up in Tunis when I first booked the tour and a week before I was informed that they would not pick me up in Tunis and I had to make my way to Hammamet for a 6 AM pick up on the first day. It took them a long time to get back to me and I ended up losing one night stay in Tunis so I could take a hotel there for pick up. It does say in the title that it’s from there. So if you’re doing this tour, make sure you’re staying in Hammamet.

  The overall experience was simply wonderful and memorable. This excursion was well worth the money. Despite the long hours we spent travelling, we were able to see the real Sahara landscapes and cultures. Our guide was very knowledgeable and very friendly. I would highly recommend this trip if you are looking for a truly amazing Sahara experience. Well done!

• Good value for money, thanks to Hammadi guide:)

  Bad start, I was given by email the number of a person who was neither our driver nor our guide. We lost about ten minutes, but nothing serious. The stop in Kairouan lasted 30 minutes and not 3 hours as indicated in the experience. The mosque is only open in the morning and not on Fridays. The passage to Kairouan was made on Friday afternoon, so impossible to visit it or even the rest of the city. As stated in another review, it was mainly a souvenir shopping break. Star Wars sets are nice to see but there are very few explanations and info related to the movies. Visits on traditional Berber life and skills are very interesting. The coliseum is very impressive to see. The camel excursion is really to be done. It is a unique experience at the gates of the Sahara. The person who took care of us was very friendly. For the 4x4 excursion to the town of Star Wars, we came across a very nice driver who made us vibrate in the sand dunes. And above all, a comment really for our guide Hammadi (or Ahmadi I don't know) who was really helpful, always listening, gave us a lot of information during these 2 days. He was always careful and always warned us to be careful of people who wanted to sell us things we didn't want. Finally, I think this excursion is a good value for money for what we could visit and discover.

• Slightly rushed

  Picked up on time which was very early. Not enough time for breakfast Bus was lovely first stop at el Jem was great, wish we had maybe ten more minutes there as there were some nice looking cafes. Not enough time for food here. Next was at a cafe by a whale skeleton, this was not great as there were flies crawling over the food they were serving. We then went on to a troglodyte house which was very interesting and were given freshly made bread and mint tea after having an informative talk about Berber life and got to explore an actual still loved in troglodyte house. We left a small gratuity. The next stop was lunch at the Lars homestead from Star Wars. The lunch was great (maybe not best suited for vegetarians/vegans due to both courses the first course having eggs and the second chicken). Drinks here were 4 dinar. Exploring Luke Skywalker’s house was amazing and I would recommend this. Entry to this was no extra cost. Our next stop was a shop were you could get a traditional desert shesh, which is a scarf wrapped round the head with a section to cover your face. This would help if there are issues with sand in the desert. These cost 14 dinar each and I would highly recommend getting one for the optional camel ride later on in the day. At the stop there is a towers which can be accessed by a spiral stair case. I would recommend climbing this for a great view of the desert. Next stop was the camel ride. This cost but was well worth it. If you didn’t feel comfortable riding a camel then you could ride a horse and cart instead. The camel ride was great and suitable for almost people. It felt slightly chaotic to begin with when being given your camel. The most hair raising part was when the camel stood up. After this it was a smooth ride. During the ride we were approached by traders offering horseback rides, fenec foxes and cold drinks. We said no thanks and they then left us alone. During the ride our camel handler offered to take photos of us and we had a photographer who was present take more. The photographer charged 5 dinar for each photo. We then went on to our hotel for the night, the Sun palm hotel yasmine in douz. The hotel is okay but again it felt chaotic getting our room keys, I feel this could all be done for our arrival. We also had to pay 12 dinar each for the hotel tax, again I feel this could have been done beforehand. Dinner at the hotel was very good and better than our own hotel’s food. For a beer and water it was 12 dinar. An early night was needed as our wake up call was at 3 forty 5 for a desert sunrise. The early start was rough however the sunrise was definitely worth it. The jeep safari was amazing. We saw onk jamal, a rock in the shape of a camel, drove over some gnarly dunes and then saw part of a Star Wars film set. This was incredible. We then went for lunch which was okay. It felt slightly rushed, like they were trying to get you out in a hurry. We then drove to another cafe with a souvenir shop. The coffee here was good but we stayed for half an hour and we’re encouraged not to buy souvenirs here as we were told there would be a cheaper shop in kairoun. The next stop was kairouan. We were only here for half an hour which felt like far too little time. For the majority of it we were in a shop were we given a terraced view of the great mosque, mint tea and makrut treats. We were then given an 8 minute sales pitch for carpets. Following this we had roughly ten minutes looking in the shop we were told would be cheaper. Most of the prices were similar if not more expensive. When we left the shop we only had about 2 minutes left to explore the city, we walked down the street and found a much better view of the mosque but unfortunately did not have any more time to explore the medina. This stop was a bit of a let down. I would sooner have explored the city more rather than be given a sales pitch. Following this stop we went home. Sometimes it felt our tour guide was just arranging for us to buy things especially in kairouan and I feel he could have explained some of the locations in more detail however this may be due to the time pressures. In summary the stand out moments were El jem coloseum, the Berber house, Luke skywalkers house, the camel ride, jeep safari including the Star Wars film set and kairouan. Negatives include stopping for too long at road side cafes and most importantly feeling rushed at certain destinations especially kairouan and El jem. I feel that more time should be spent at those locations instead of the road side cafes but overall it was a good trip and I would recommend it to those traveling to Tunisia.
