I had a private tour to Kairouan and El Djem (the large amphitheater). My guide Khaled and the driver Aschraf showed me a part of Tunisia in a pleasant and very informative way all day. The places we visited are beautiful and the guidance by the 2 gentlemen was superb. Tunisia itself is unfortunately a big garbage dump but the tour operator can't help it.

This tour was generally really great . We visited a smaller mosque next to kairkorum great mosque which was interested and the guide gave us interesting information. The great mosque was great to visit and would have been underwhelming without a guide. However the information we were given was a bit disjointed , he would point out different parts of the architecture and say a bit about it which was great , but gave us no idea of the history and importance of such a place. Why for instance is it the 4th or 5 th most holy place in islam ? We then went through the Medina in kairkorum which was fascinating to see authentic old Medina with people working in small shops down ancient streets , really cool . We then stopped for some quick lunch at a local place where locals were constantly queuing so grateful we got to eat in an authentic place not some tourist only place. I was vegan and able to eat there too which was a great suprise. After this point I felt the tour got a bit worse however . Our guide was sleeping in the car most of the time which is understandable with a long day but was a great opportunity to tell us more about the place we were going , el jem. The coliseum is breathtaking and speaks for it self . The guide told us we would have 1 hour there and then go home , when the itinerary said we would have 2 hours there and then go to an archaeological museum , I asked and he said he isn't told the itinerary , but he allowed us to go to the museum after but we still only had 1 hour at coliseum. The guide talked to us about the coliseum for 30 secs to 2 mins maximum....this in my eyes was totally unacceptable, to be told nothing of the history or importance of such a sight is unbelievable, he went back to the car to sleep or call his friends and we were left to take photos which was great to have the time but no info is unacceptable and this is why I chose this guided tour to have a guide in the coliseum! So in all good places but guide was ok or poor

Our tour unfortunately took place on days of intense rain. Extraordinary weather conditions for that period. Fortunately we had an experienced Shihab driver and a great professional as Khaled guide who with anecdotes and great expertise made this day extremely interesting regardless of the weather.

Just hire the driver to get to El Jem! My friend and I tried yesterday to take the train, but it broke down about one hour into the trip and was going to be three hours total to wait. So we abandoned the broken train and got back to Tunis via side trip to Hammamet. Today we hired a very nice fellow named Larbi from Saharan sky tour company. He picked us up at a convenient location in Tunis and drove us safely where we needed to go. Although a guide was not included in this Viator option, he kindly shared information about Tunisia and the places we were visiting. We were so glad to not deal with the train and have a clean and comfortable ride.

Very efficient. Good driver and knowledgeable guide. We would have missed lots if we’d done it under our own steam. Highlight was EL Jem amphitheater which was worth the long drive. Nearby museum also great. Lowlight was canteen style lunch in bland hotel. Perfectly edible but no more than that

El jem is the best place to see in Tunisia, if you'll be given Jamel as a guide you'll experience a memorable journeyn

The Colosseum of El Jem is amazing, impressive and relatively quiet compared to the one in Rome. Kairouan is also a very interesting place. I did this tour from Tunis and it is a long day with a lot of time spent in the car. The timings listed on the itinerary are a bit mis leading and the Kairouan Basins are closed for renovation. I felt we also didn’t see very much of Kairouan Médina. We didn’t spend the amount of time on the itinerary at each place. The guide provided some detail and facts but it wasn’t as detailed as I thought it was going to be. Having said that the guide did leave me to spend time on my own in each place. The guide left the driver and I at El Jem after lunch and the driver took me back to Tunis. I am not sure I would choose lunch again as there was no menu, it was chicken kebab and drinks were limited but the food was tasty and the restaurant overlooked the colosseum. It just would have been nice to be given a choice. I have to mention the driver Chakib. He spoke excellent English and he was an excellent driver. If I did the tour again I would do it with just a driver, no guide and no lunch. The communication with the company also wasn’t that great. I messaged at 7:00am the day before to confirm the tour given the amount this tour was costing and no one replied until 21:18. I had already gone to bed! I think communication could be better.

Too bad, I could say it's the worst service I've ever had, in fact I've tried to establish contact with Viator to get the money back.

Our tour guide, Faysel, was incredibly knowledgeable and likeable. Very accommodating. We had plenty of time to browse for items.

Please stop pretending that the comment previously left is not about your agency. This is your property, as the reservation was made directly on your website. Below is our reservation number for verification: SAH-77209342. We would like to express our disappointment with the provision of your guide. As we have already mentioned, he took us to several shops to encourage us to make purchases, which was absolutely not foreseen in the program. We did not pay for this type of experience. In addition, he told us that we did not have time to visit the Medina, although this visit was clearly mentioned in the performance. His attitude changed dramatically when we refused to buy a carpet from one of the shops he had taken us to. In El Jem, the guide only gave a brief explanation of just five minutes, before letting us visit the site alone, giving us only 20 minutes. It is difficult to understand how such a short visit can be considered sufficient, especially after more than 1h30 of travel to get there. Finally, we had to insist on visiting the museum, which the guide wanted to avoid under the pretext of lack of time. On site, we met several groups accompanied by guides much more professional and involved than yours. In summary, this experience fell short of our expectations and does not correspond to the Service Description or the level of professionalism expected for this type of excursion.
