A Wonderful Morning Out

5.00Alaa was a fantastic guide. He was passionate and knowledgeable and a great DJ :) The tour was nice and relaxed, paced well with no dead time but also no rushing about. I would recommend the morning slot in the summer months as it gets really hot. The amphitheatre and museum are amazing, really interesting and stunningly beautiful. The mosaics in the museum are mind-blowing in their creation and intricacy not forgetting they are around 2000 years old. A very worthwhile trip
Tunisian delight

5.00We took a private tour of the amphitheatre and roman museum in El Jem by Alaa and his driver. The tour started and ended at our hotel. It was a great experience to explore the amazing amphitheatre, and then we moved on to see the beautiful mosaic floors at the museum. Both locations were quiet, just a few tourists. This is an experience worth taking, and paying extra for the private tour. Alaa was very informative throughout the tour, and gave us some personal time to explore. The amphitheatre is definitely a Tunisian delight.
Alaa was a great guide....

5.00Fascinating tour with a very well informed guide who spoke very good English. Going out of season meant there were very few other visitors (unlike the Colosseum in Rome!)
