What To Expect
Site Archeologique de Carthage
Start your day with pickup at your Tunis hotel. Make the 25-minute trip to Carthage in a comfortable, air-conditioned car, and spot some of Tunisia’s most exclusive villas along the way. Explore the city with your professional guide, taking in ancient landmarks with sweeping views of the surrounding coastline. Carthage was famously destroyed by the Romans in 146 BC, but excavations have revealed five-story homes, sewage systems, and the remains of city walls that once stretched 21 miles (34 km) across Byrsa Hill.
Tophet de Carthage
Discover the Tophets at the center of one of the most contentious archaeological debates surrounding the region of northern Africa that was once part of the ancient Carthaginian Empire. The enigmatic ancient cemeteries are believed to have been used for the ritual sacrifice of children and animals.

1.00Inaccurate visit (duration 2.5 hours instead of 4. To return to the hotel, since it was a different hotel from the one at the beginning, they asked us for more money.

5.00Faisal and Aiman were engaged and answered all my questions. This is a great tour for understanding the differences and similarities between the Punic, Roman and Byzantine eras. Even though I was most interested in the Punic era, the context was illuminating. A bystander at one of the sites appreciated the tour so much, he asked how he could sign up. Highly recommended.
Great visit

5.00We had a great tour with our Guide Houda. She was punctual, showed us the monuments and Carthaginian ruines. She also provided great explanations, and the history relates to present day Tunisia. Highly recommended Guide.
This guide made our day in Tunis great.

5.00The guide was absolutely amazing. Very knowledgeable and very nice. He seemed to know quite a bit about the whole history of the area. His driver was always courteous and seemed to enjoy his part in all of it (maybe because he stayed in the air conditioned car). It was incredibly hot on that day, but they made sure that we were not getting too overheated, as best as they could. Requires a good bit of walking, including up and down hill, and much of it isn't wheelchair accessible (some parts had ramps that I saw, though). I cannot recommend this guide highly enough.
Terrific Tour in Tunisia

5.00Our tour guide, Nouraddean, was absolutely amazing. He was a wealth of history and knowledge. We had no idea about the rich history of Tunisia and its importance to the world and he made it come alive for us. He tailored the tour to our shorter time in port, showed us the most important sights, and added stops to our tour based on our questions and interests. When we spoke to other cruise passengers who booked excursions through the ship or did things on their own, our experience was above and beyond what they did. I would go back to Tunisia or anywhere else our guide was leading a tour in a heart beat.

5.00We were on a private group tour from the cruise port to Carthage and Sidi Bou Said. The service was fantastic from first communication/planning to the end of the trip. Punctual, professional and courteous. A special thanks to our local guide Ali Khammassi for his excellent knowledge and skills. Experienced, professional and friendly guide.
Great experience in a short amount of time!

5.00I had flight delays, but the tour company (Saharansky) was able to work with me to get this tour changed and amended for my needs. The guide was great, helpful, and gave good insight with history and Tunisian culture.
Wonderful tour of Ancient Carthage.

5.00A fantastic way to experience many of the ancient sites of Carthage and to learn more about the area and the civilisations that have inhabited it over the past millennia. The perfect way to see a diverse range of sites (Birsa Hill, the Tophet, the Baths of Antoninus Pius and many more) easily and comfortably.
