Great day with Tarek,... - Great day with Tarek, visited many sites that would not have been easily accessible if we did it ourselves. Tarek gave us many insights and answered our many questions, which really brought the sites to life. Really worthwhile to do this as a tour.

Very interesting trip but not long enough - Ancient Carthage is on the outskirts of Tunis. The ruins are in good condition for their age, and the signage is in English as well as other languages so it was easy to see what was what. My only gripe about this visit was we did not stay here long enough before moving on to our next destination.

Highly recommended tour - Tarek led an excellent and informative tour through the various Carthage sites. We wouldn't have been able to see so many different sites and understand them without Tarek's expert guidance. Our driver Mohammed was also wonderful. Highly recommended.

Great caring historical tour! - Tarek did a wonderful job of engaging all of us in the layers of Tunisian and Roman and Carthaginian history! We all came away with a lot more information and a much deeper appreciation of the history here. He was also able to provide a great springboard for exploring other historical sites. The pace was relaxed but full and we felt cared for. Definitely recommend this tour!

Excellent Tour Experience - Tarek was very knowledgeable of the area and shared the information in a way that was engaging and helpful. This was my second time touring with Tarek but with a different group of friends. Even after seeing some of the same places, I still learned new things. He also kept us on schedule without feeling rushed. Great experience! Highly recommend!

Don’t Miss A Tour with Tarek When You Visit Tunisia - Tarek is an amazing tour guide. We learned so much about the history of Tunisia and Carthage. He explained things well and answered all of our questions as we went along. We also had a one hour language lesson from him before we met for our tour. He taught us a few words and phrases and a bit about the history of the language of Tunisia. It really helped us when we were in the markets and spending time in the city. I highly recommend Tarek for any tours or language tutoring you need while in Tunisia. I know we will ask for him the next time we visit!
