The tour was great and refreshing, informative. That put guide was also lovely and friendly so it made the trip great. We visited the amphitheater and the mosaic museum in El Jem which was about an hour drive from our hotel in Monastir!

Private Half Day Tour Roman Coliseum EL JEM Ala was right on time picking us up, air conditioned car and misting fans kept us cool on the hour long drive to El Jem. On the way Ala talked about Tunisia’s history and what they grow here, a lot of olives, figs, peaches, almonds. He spoke about the colloseum’s history and origins, pointing out interesting facts about the structure and how the different parts were used, we had about 30 mins after the guided tour to explore on our own. There are a lot of steep steps to the higher levels so not great for anyone with mobility problems, but what a view at the top! Ala gave us a bottle of water and took us to the museum, with a guided tour of the mosaics and Roman road and ruins of a settlement, he was very knowledgeable. He went at a pace that suited us, covering the most interesting exhibits first as we had a teen with us who was not as interested in the history as we adults! Back to our hotel by lunchtime, but could have taken longer had we just wandered around the museum in our own as well as the tour. Ala is a great guide and looked after us well.
Excellent experience

Alla was a fantastic guide, very friendly and knowledgeable. We had the perfect amount of time at each place and he left us to a bit of time on our own at each place which was nice. We even had our own choice of music for the car journey!

Very good half day with Alaa as guide. Perfect transfer from Hammamet with Alaa at the wheel who does not hesitate to describe Tunisia (economy, politics, culture, ...). The Colosseum of El Jem is superb as well as its museum on antiquity with many mosaics to discover.
A Wonderful Morning Out

Alaa 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
Very good excursion

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen, good and interesting trip to a relatively well preserved Colosseum in El Djem. Much better and more personal than on a big bus.
