5.00fantastic visit to the places that belonged to the Roman Empire former colonies of the same. started from the gare de louage in Tunisia and visited the places in a single day but it is not enough; it takes more days to see the beauties of the empire and then you will remake the tour by redoing the locations 'one a day.
Highly Recommended as a Day Trip in Tunisia

5.00The trip was very well organised and is highly recommended for history novices and buffs alike led by a very knowledgeable tour guide and skilled driver, both of whom were excellent company throughout the day.
Excellent, a few improvements needed.

4.00Guide was knowledgeable, energetic and friendly. The driver was capable and pleasant. Both were a pleasure to work with. We highly recommend this tour. We enjoyed the lunch and tour of Dougga & the mosaics at Bulla Regia were a major highlight. Our only negative comment was the mode of transportation which was cramped, uncomfortable and inappropriate for the length of the tour. Vehicle (Kia) was cramped and had no shocks which was uncomfortable and exasperated back and neck issues. Overall enjoyed the tour and would 100% endorse it if another vehicle was available. Otherwise I hesitate to recommend it.
Sunny day in Dougga and Bulla Regia
