Mobile ticket
Departure to Carthage, founded by the Phoenicians in 814 BC. The earliest settlements of Punic Carthage can sill be seen on Byrsa Hill, just below the renowed Carthage National Museum. Although destroyed by the Romans in 146BC and later built over by them, recent excavation has revealed the foundations of five-story Punic houses, each with its own cistern and drainage system. The most remarkable early remains are the two basins of the Punic Ports, an evidence of the Carthaginian’ mastery of the sea, which fascinated and frustrated the Romans. Another important site of pre-roman Carthage is the Tophet.
Sidi Bou said: Perched high atop of a cliff overlooking the Mediterranean, this picturesque village is a delightful place for a leisurely stroll through winding cobbled streets. Its trademark white walls, contrasting sky blue doors and ornate window grids, make for a wonderfully inspiring setting. Wander around the boutiques for souvenirs or relax at a cliff-side Moorish café.

5.00We had the pleasure of exploring the archaeological site of Carthage and the charming city of Sidi Bou Said with an exceptional guide who truly brought the experience to life. His passion for Tunisia and its rich history was evident in every story he told and every detail he pointed out. In Carthage, he helped us imagine the grandeur of the ancient civilization, walking us through ruins that held centuries of history. He painted a vivid picture of the city’s rise and fall, and his knowledge added real depth to the visit. Sidi Bou Said was equally captivating — a picturesque town of blue and white, where our guide shared not only historical insights but also cultural gems, from local traditions to hidden spots we would have easily missed. It’s rare to meet someone so genuinely proud of their country, and his enthusiasm made this tour unforgettable. Highly recommended for anyone looking to experience Tunisia beyond the surface.
Interesting Tunis

5.00Our guide Fawzi and our driver Adam provided us with an exceptional day of sightseeing in Tunis. Fawzi was a wealth of knowledge and shared this with us in a very engaging and interesting way. They accommodated us with an extension to the tour so we could also experience the Medina and then the comparison with the the new city.
Wonderful experience, all...
