Very nice cultural visit

5.00Very nice old-fashioned visit: they have PERFECTLY respected our wishes for a trip "like 30 years ago" with many cultural visits and places that can only be visited nowadays like the basket of Nefta or the canyon of Mides or a brick factory on Tozeur. They adapt to the desires of travelers and respect their tastes (we ate Tunisian wonderful dishes including camel...) Very serious they are trustworthy: advice: GO with them!!

5.00Aymen organized us two days of excursion in the desert in a private 4x4 that were unforgettable. The guide, Yassin, and the driver (Mohanet) were impeccable. We learned a lot from the guide and the driver was very caring. We were welcomed by a generous family in Matmata who prepared tea for us away from the hordes of tourists, and visited a Berber museum whose owner devoted all his time to us. The night at the camp was sublime, the camel tour etc. In short, we recommend with your eyes closed this serious and professional agency
Outstanding ⭐️

5.00Thank you so much for such a wonderful 2 day desert tour Zoo and Mohammed. We saw so many things and learnt so much - Zoo has amazing knowledge and kept showing us different things. Mohammed is a very good driver. I thoroughly enjoyed his driving over the desert dunes. We gained a much better understanding of Tunisia's deserts, desert towns and its people. I highly recommend Depart Travel - thanks Aymen for accommodating us at short notice.

They picked us up from our hotel in djerba then we travelled to the south of Tunisia to discover the desert and oases. The experience was amazing, everything was very well organized, we took full eyes. Our team was super, very kind and kind to us. We laughed a lot. I advise you to book an excursion with this agency, you will not be disappointed .! Thank you for all the memories.
