What To Expect
Medina of Kairouan
Start your day at the Great Mosque of Kairouan, a UNESCO treasure and masterpiece of Islamic architecture. Wander through the medina’s vibrant alleyways, where colorful markets, spices, and handmade goods await. Visit the 9th-century Basins of the Aghlabids — ancient reservoirs reflecting the city’s grandeur — and admire the charming Medina houses with traditional tilework and motifs. Immerse yourself in daily life, meet friendly locals, and taste authentic Tunisian cuisine in cozy cafés. With stories and insights from your experienced host-driver, you’ll uncover the rich spirit and timeless beauty of Kairouan — a city steeped in history and culture.
Amphitheatre D'el Jem
Step into the mighty El Jem Amphitheatre, one of the best-preserved Roman arenas in the world. This world-famous heritage site once held over 30,000 spectators and still echoes the spirit of ancient gladiator games. Walk through its grand stone corridors, explore underground tunnels, and stand in the arena where history comes alive. Visit the nearby museum, home to stunning Roman mosaics and artifacts. With your guide-driver’s insights, El Jem becomes more than a monument — it becomes a story of Tunisia’s imperial past, carved in timeless stone.

5.00We were picked up an our hotel by our guide and driver, who was called Rajouen. He was absolutely fantastic - knowledgeable and let us take our time visiting the different attractions. We had a beautiful lunch at a cafe overlooking the amphitheater at El Gem, which was very reasonably priced. Would definitely recommend 👍🏼
Memmorable day!

5.00We were allowed to experience a beautiful and interesting day. Our driver Sami picked us up on time at the hotel and took us safely to Kairouan for Mohamed's companions' funeral, the big mosque and guided us through the medina. Then we went to El'Jem and Monastir. Sami always had interesting information for us and with his good mood the day flew by. Thank you also for the fresh dates and almonds he organized during our tours.
Beautiful and relaxing excursion

5.00This was our second trip with Semi, our driver (first tour took us to Medina in Tunis, Sidi Bou Said & Carthage trip). As a little attention Semi brought us a small bottle of olive oil, which he pressed himself:-) Very delicious! Otherwise, I can only repeat the points of my first review: Semi is very friendly and accommodating. It responds to extra requests and also stops at sights not previously agreed. He helps communicate with locals and gives tips on where to drink and eat. Overall highly recommended!
Amazing day out

5.00Amine is a brilliant driver, really friendly and very knowledgable about everywhere we went. Definitely book this trip, the colloseum at El Jem is great to walk around and you can get some fantastic photos as it’s very quiet in January there. I had plenty of time at all of the locations and went to some places in Kairouan that I would never have found on my own. Can’t wait to come back to Tunisia and book some more trips. I would give 10 stars if TripAdvisor had the option! Thank you Amine for an amazing trip.
Great Independent tour with a knowledgeable driver. Arranged to our convenience.

5.00Omar picked us up from our hotel on time. His communication via WhatsApp was excellent & his English is very good. Our first stop was at Sidi Sahbi Mausoleum where we bought a ticket which covered the Great Mosque & El Jem. An old Berber gentleman escorted us around the place & was a very interesting & knowledgable guide. On to the Great Mosque which I found disappointing. I don't know what I was expecting but was underwhelmed. After the mosque we stopped in the medina at Kairouan & visited a well operated using a camel! Fascinating little extra from Omar. An interesting drive to El Jem through varios neighbourhoods including where camel meat is sold. Before arriving at the amphitheatre we stopped at à museum in Jem with fantastic mosaics & Roman artefacts. The amphitheatre itself exceeded expectations & we spent à long time looking round. We chose not to go on to Monastir & the ribat, but to return to our hotel as we were both exhausted. Omar tried to persuade us that we should visit, but we had had a fabulous day, & needed a beer! Thanks to Omar for exceptional service & à great day out.
Great way to see...

5.00Great way to see different parts of Tunisia with a variety of activities. It was incredibly helpful to have a driver who navigated the cities for us and ensured we made it to our destinations. From Tunis, this is a full day experience so lots of driving is involved.
Brilliant definitely recommended.

5.00Really enjoyed this tour. It was comfortable and well paced, and Rajouen was friendly, helpful, and shared lots of interesting information along the way. Kairouan, El Djem, and Monastir were all great to see and very different from each other! Recommended!
