Good history and great guide
Robert W,,Feb 2, 2026

5.00Ahmed was a great guide. He was a bit older so he would explain the history to me And then send me to walk on my own, which was nice because I could move at my own pace. Ahmed was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. Once the tour was over he Offered his help for anything I ever need in Tunisia which is really over the top nice. Tour ended up being about 4-5 hours total. I think itinerary said 1 hour at tophet but we really spent 10 minutes and that’s about all you need anyway. I feel like I learned a lot about the history of Carthage and was worth doing the tour as I was a bit bored otherwise here in Tunis. Sunday the Medina is closed, so we skipped that, but that was fine because I am staying right by the Medina so I have been checking it out on my own. If you have an extra day I would recommend this tour you see some cool stuff. Also, Ahmed offered a couple other tours while I am here to take me some other places another day and told me the cost, but when I told him I am okay he was not pushy or didn’t try to sell it to me too hard, but it was very nice of him to offer. I appreciated the guide above all else, Ahmed was a wonderful guy.
Tunis Day Trip to Carthage, Sidi Bou Said, Bardo, and Medina in Tunis

4.00Our guide was very good as was the driver. We went to Carthage, Sidi Bou Said, Bardo Museum, and a little in the Medina. We felt a little rushed, like being with horse who knows it is supper time, and wants to bolt to the barn.

5.00I booked the driver only rather than the guided tour. Everything went perfectly and was as advertised. Ashref was on time, always nearby and reachable, very polite, and gave some good tips about where to go and what to see. Would recommend.
Great way to see many different aspects of Tunis

5.00Full day with a sampling of different aspects of Tunis from ancient history through mediaeval markets to a charming coastal village. Guide fluent in many languages and very knowledgeable about the places we visited.
Catastrophic for the reputation of tourism in Tunisia!

1.00Thinking about choosing the quality of a service through TripAdvisor and after reading the positive reviews, we chose this tour. Deplorable, catastrophic and truly an acceptable the lack of professionalism and the way we were treated. How is it possible that the reviews are so positive? Any doubt about the provider who took us over? Unacceptable and a shame for Tunisia's image.
Scandalous and unacceptable service!!!

1.00We didn’t even make half the trip paid in full with guide...that is, driver, meals and visits. Was the guide really a guide??? He dropped us off at about 12:00 in Sidi bou said, then returning to the vehicle that was a rental vehicle, he told us he forgot to have us sign the rental contract with passport number and signature. Problem is, we had to sign off on the so-called second driver of the vehicle? Finding it strange we refused, the guide verbally assaulted us and asked to get out of the vehicle in a very aggressive tone. After this verbal altercation we returned to our hotel located 80km away on our own and our last day of vacation which we thought we had a great experience was ruined and ultimately cost us much more for doing nothing. We have just made a claim on tripadvisor and requested a refund of this inadmissible benefit. We expect a return from them. First booking on tripadvisor and probably the last one if we do not have a satisfactory return. We find it scandalous to have experienced this situation.

5.00The tour guide, Kamel, is very knowledgeable and friendly. His knowledge about Tunisia is above and beyond. We recommend this tour operator with Kamel's guidance.

5.00We had an excellent day out the sites that we visited were very interesting and our guide was extremely knowledgeable and had a great sense of humour. The driver was great too and I would definitely recommend the day trick.
Disappointing, superficial info and not what we paid for
mgripson,,Oct 28, 2025
- Review from Tripadvisor
2.00We did not get to see several of the destinations listed, for example the bardo museum and the aqueduct. The museum was apparently closed which the guide forgot. The aqueduct we asked several times to see and were promised that it was included (both of these destinations were included according to the description of the trip) but we never got to see it. The guide was kind but hard to understand. English can develop as well as knowledge of the places we visited, mainly in Carthage. We didn't understand everything he said but felt the information was superficial and more contemporary than historical. When we visited the ancient amphitheatre in Carthage we were told that there were barbecue bars there and that mickel jackson played there. Nothing about theatre and gladiatorial games in ancient times. Parts of the tour the guide stopped at one place and asked us to walk around and look. We did not get so rich info about artifacts, ancient life, culture, warfare etc which we expected. We saw how other guides gave more detailed and descriptive info to their groups. We had seen some movies before about Carthage, about 30 minutes in total and it was lucky. That way I could give the kids some info myself when we walked around. The guide was kind and well-meaning, but he upset both our teenagers, girl and guy, with his view of women. It was an interesting lesson this day. The visit to the village with the white and blue houses was very cozy.
