  Date: Wed 12/03/2025 Me and my mum were picked up on time from our hotel greeted by our very friendly tour guide Ayoub! The vehicle was modern and a very comfortable drive. Ayoub is very knowledgeable of all the places we went and also pointed out important places we passed along the way. Ayoub was also kind enough to escort us through the Medina, where he organised a plate to be engraved for me and gave it to me as a birthday gift! Before each stop he gave us the history of each place and told us what too look out for which was very helpful. The Great Mosque is truly beautiful and the El Jem Amphitheatre is so amazing!!!! We learnt so much! Our tour guide Ayoub even stopped off for us to get some ice cream along the drive. We were so happy with the service, we met up with him later for dinner so we could try traditional Tunisian cuisine! Thank you Simba Tours for organising our trip with Ayoub! And thank you Ayoub for making this trip truly wonderful! Such a lovely way to spend my birthday! I would recommend this trip for everyone - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

• Nice sightseeing activities to Kairouan, El Jem, and Monastir, but organisation could be better!

  We are a family of 6 (2 adults and 4 children; age 7, 6, 4, 3). We had booked a Fun VIP Tour to Kairouan, El Jem, and Monastir on 13 April 2025. The day before, we got extra information for the tour send to us by WhatsApp and also the number of our driver. We had some troubles with the starting hour because we had made a reservation from 09:00AM but the organisation asked if we could change it to 08:30AM, wich was no problem for us. When we made contact with our driver he said the starting hour would be 09:30AM?? So after a few calls and messaging it was set for 09:30AM, which would have been better for closing time they said. So our driver picked us up at our hotel at 09:30 (actually a little later). When he arrived he was first making phone calls for like 10 minutes and then came over to meet us. It wasn't really a minivan like it was mentioned in the discription. The car had a dent in the back from an earlier collision and there was one seatbelt missing for one of our children. Not really reassuring seeing how they drive here. But our driver convinced us that he would drive slowly (I come back to that later)!! I think it was 10:00AM when we finally got on the road. The distance between the stops was not so far, 1 hour to each stop, so that was perfect. On the otherhand, driving safely wasn't the case. Speeding, calling on the phone, driving on the middle of the road, argumenting with other road users. One positif thing was that he put on some music for the kids, a little to loud, but it was nice to make them feel relaxed. PS: We now know all the versions of Baby Shark! Our first stop was at Kairouan where we visit the Bassins Aghlabites, The Great Mosque (Sidi Oqba Mosque) and another Mosque where I don't know the name of. Afterwards our driver knew a viewpoint to observe the Great Mosque from above but it was actually a shop where they selt souvenirs and handmade carpets. We listened to the explanation but kindly refused his offer to buy one. But we did got some souvenirs for the homefront. Next stop was The Amphitheatre of El Jem, but we first took some lunch (it ws already around 02:00PM) in front of the theatre in a local tourist restaurant, according to our driver. Some kind of BBQ restaurant where we didn't get a menu with prices and they had only three options: grilled chicken, grilled lam, or a grilled mix. I ate the meat but the other stuff I passed on that because it all didn't look very clean. I rather had picked something myself to eat for lunch, something a little cleaner. The Amphitheatre itself was absolutly great and magistic. We spend more then an hour there. Aamazing how they could build something like that at such a remote place. We came out of the theatre around 04:15PM. The next stop would be Monastir to visit the Bourghiba Mausoleum and the Fort of Ribat. But our driver asked if we would like to go to the Medina of Sousse instead because it was an hour driving and at 05:00PM everything would be closed. Since we where already planning to go to the Medina of Sousse on another day we kindly rejected the offer and went to Monastir and did some sightseeing from the outside of the Mausoleum and the Fort. It's questionable why the driver starts the tour at 09:30 (actually 10:00), knowing you have three stops, you have to drive an hour to each location, you have to take time for lunch, and then be supriced that you can't visit the last activities of the programma because everything is closed at 05:00PM. Then start the tour on time at the hour that was mentioned, 08:30AM or earlier!! Especially because this was a VIP tour, only for us 6, and as discribed: "Discover at your own pace". Conclusion: Nice sightseeing activities to Kairouan, El Jem, and Monastir, but organisation could be better!

• Not at all as advertised! DISAPPOINTED

  Not as advertised at all. We were picked up late, the car was not new and back seatbelt did not work and driver did not care despite driving about 100 miles per hour. We did not receive detail historic info in our language. Our driver barely spoke or understood English. We were driving almost all day to half of the site already closed. No discussion or forethought into what we want to see with the time we had. No lunch left at 9:30 until 6 no stop for food or recommendation as advertised! Do not waste your money false advertising worst experience I’ve had with Viator and I’ve been using that application for years
