Moderate prices for the place

3.00Low prices for the place, but still double compared to other cities in Tunisia. Mediocre quality. I didn't find anything better, and so I had to settle for paying almost double for a plate of Couscous, compared to other places in Tunisia. But this is Sousse,,,,,,,
Magical Tunisian desert

5.00Exploring the far reaches of southern Tunisia, my journey through the desert transcended the conventions of classic tourism. This unique experience captured the haunting essence of the desert, harmoniously weaving the magic of the arid landscape with the unaltered richness of local customs. The locals, unyielding guardians of their traditional charm, have preserved an authenticity that magnified every moment of my trip. But don't buy your tickets from opodo, it's better to go through Booking
A 7 star Adventure Experience

5.00I’m a travel agent that uses Depart Travel Services in Tunisia. I have booked many clients to use their services in Tunisia. I never doubted I’d receive great service as my clients had experienced. But I was mind blown by what I received. After landing in Tunis, I was welcomed warmly by the owner Aymen. A man with all positive adjectives can never describe him. Besides being professional, he’s kind, a realist, and well-informed about tourism. His passion for tourism will beat you. He is attentive to details and wants what is best for his clients. I toured from north to south, and every destination was uniquely different. I’d wake up to a different adventure, very different from what I discovered. I couldn’t get enough of the country and the great guides I had. Throughout the trip, it was a fun moment. For one week, I had the best chance to experience Tunisian culture and food. You must try couscous and herisa. My final destination was Djerba. What an island!!!, everyone on this Island is just kind. This is the prime beach destination; you don’t want to miss the restaurants, the culture, and the sceneries that will captivate your eyes. I was lucky to visit the office for the depart Travel. The staff, wow, are very generous professional travel individuals you cannot get enough of. I hardly go back to the country that I’ve been to, but this one, I’m dying to go back to this felt home . I'll be going back to this amazing country. I recommend you book your tours through the Depart Travel services; you’ll be doing yourself a favor. This is the best travel agent in Tunisia, hands down!
Great breath of oxygen!

5.0010 days trip through the south Tunisian from Djerba to Tozeur with Aymen and Tonton, unusual and adorable duo. On the pro side, service in line with the expected with in addition a great responsiveness for last minute changes to meet our expectations. Humanly, a very nice meeting with warm people, always in a good mood and with little care for us throughout the stay and especially eager to make us discover their country and the Tunisian people. The landscapes are absolutely beautiful and to discover absolutely, the Tunisians warm and welcoming... do not hesitate any longer😍
Depart Travel Services - one of the best travel agencies in Tunisia

5.00Thank you very much. Although we don't speak English, we're coming up to publish it. We've just come back from a tour here, very beautiful country, and the people are very friendly. Our guide Aymen is more of an elegant, gentlemanly, gentle local. I feel a bit like a European gentleman, not that traditional Arab uncle, hahaha. The daughter-in-law contacted a number of local Tunisian travel agencies before departure, this one was the most professional, the response was quick, the offer was reasonable, and helped us revise many of the details of the trip to make the whole arrangement more reasonable. Aymen also took special care of us. we were both pretty sad when we left ... We'll definitely be back next time!!!
