Tunis Medina and Sidi Boussaid
Overview

Mobile ticket
Experience the true spirit of Tunis on a guided journey through the UNESCO-listed Medina and the iconic village of Sidi Bou Said. Founded in 698, Tunis rose at the heart of the Mediterranean and became the capital of powerful dynasties, leaving behind one of the best-preserved medinas in the Islamic world, spanning over 300 hectares and nearly 700 historical monuments.
This tour is a walk through living history. We guide you through the medina’s labyrinth of souks and streets to discover mosques, madrasas, palaces, mausoleums, and traditional artisan workshops, where centuries-old skills are still alive.
The experience continues in Sidi Bou Said, the legendary blue-and-white village overlooking the sea. With its Andalusian architecture, artistic heritage, and breathtaking Mediterranean views, it offers a peaceful and inspiring contrast to the vibrant medina—an unforgettable conclusion to an authentic cultural journey.

5.00I booked the tour through Booking.com, and the guide got in touch with me very soon after I made the reservation. There was a scheduling conflict with another booking. So he suggested that we join the other group for free and then start our actual tour afterward. We didn’t regret the decision. The tour guide Ahmed is very friendly and answers all questions. The taxi driver was also very good. Lunch was included, which we highly recommend. We’d gladly recommend this guided tour to anyone visiting Tunis for the first time. Thanks for the wonderful day!
Good trip for a first time to the Medina.

4.00The only downside to this trip was that our guide was 45 minutes late. He apparently had an issue getting caught in a rainstorm had to go home and change his clothes, then got stuck in a traffic jam but we were all waiting there for quite a while. It was an interesting trip. The Medina is a magical place and having a guy going to the first time was very helpful.
Stood up at the Medina

1.00Guide was a no show. Unable to contact them despite trying multiple avenues (sms, via viator, etc). Waited for 30 minutes without hearing anything from the operator. Still waiting on confirmation of a refund for the tour. The Viator support team was super responsive, but ultimately it's not clear if I am out the money for this tour.
