Unforgettable experience!!! - Booked by Simba is a chauffeured car rental only (extras to be paid separately at Simba). But the chauffeur Mr. Othmen organized this trip perfectly and the recommendations for tent accommodation and restaurants exceeded expectations. Thank you so much.

Beautiful - Lots of buses but it's worth it! Great guide and driver. A great experience. 4/4 in a lunar environment out of time. Pick up , explanations , timing, accommodation in Douz, comfort of the coach , everything was great!

Adventure tour of south Tunisia - Well organised, adventure tour of south Tunisia.  You can enjoy a diversity of landscape, though you have to expect long drives.  The highlights for me were the amphitheatre of El Djem and the 4x4 ride through the desert to the Star Wars film set.   You don't have to be super fit but you have to be healthy enough to get up very early on both Day 1 and Day 2.  If you are a solo traveller, you have to pay a supplement of 30 DT at the hotel (not mentioned on the website), but I didn't mind. I am grateful that this company doesn't charge a huge supplement for a solo traveller.   On Day 2, we were supposed to meet at 4.50 am, but it was 5.15 am by the time everyone turned up (despite the morning call we got at 4am!).  I felt it was disrespectful to those who were ready by 4.50.   I don't know if this late departure caused a knock-on effect, but we only had 40 minutes in Kairouan, instead of an hour, which was such a shame in my opinion.  While most people were shopping, I went to have a walk in the medina and came across the former Ottoman governor's huge house (now a carpet shop).  Unfortunately, I only had about 7 minutes to spend as I had to go back to our bus but I could have stayed there for an hour!  Overall, it was a fantastic tour, but this is my only gripe.

Best way to see so much in a short amount of time - Great experience for our family, jam packed with activities/sightseeing. Got to see so much in a relatively short time. Accomodation for the night was great, glad we didn't opt for a tent in the Sahara! Guide, Teddy, was excellent, spoke many languages and was very informative. Warning, it is quite far, distance wise and can be an exhausting experience, but for us it was well worth it.

Wow!! What can I say?! What an amazing trip!! - Wow!! What can I say?! What an amazing trip!! I can’t recommend the 2-day excursion enough – it was honestly one of the highlights of our trip to Tunisia! Everything was so well organized from start to finish, and we got to see and experience so much in just two days. A special mention has to go to Teddi, our tour guide – he was absolutely fantastic! His knowledge, passion, and sense of humor made the whole journey even more enjoyable. He went above and beyond to make sure everyone was comfortable, informed, and having a great time. You could really tell he loves what he does. From exploring breathtaking landscapes, to visiting fascinating historical sites, to enjoying delicious local food, every moment was unforgettable. It was the perfect mix of culture and adventure. My favourite was the camel ride which is included in the price if you book through trip advisor and watching the sun rise was absolutely magical. All meals and accommodation is included. The hotel we stayed at was very good. Clean and good food, with access to the pool until late. Take money for drinks as those are not included but not expensive. We also decided to do the quad biking and carage ride but you don't have to if you dont want to. The carage ride was around £10 and the quad bike was roughly £30. Both worth it in my opinion but its down to personal taste and budget. The bus we traveled on had air con and USB charging ports which is handy. I highly recommend this trip if you really want to get a taste of Tunisia!!

Great experience - The experience was very enjoyable and not a single minute went wasted. Our tour guide Muhtadi was extremely kind, accommodating, and knowledgeable. We didn't have any issues with language barriers as he spoke French, Italian, Spanish, English, and Arabic fluently. The whole experience offers excellent value for money. Just be sure to take lots of water and be prepared to start early in the morning and finish past sunset both days, so you should leave enough time before and after the experience to catch up on some much needed rest.

Excellent - Incredible experience, lots of pleasant discovery. The exit to do without hesitation. Too bad that every time we visit, we are asked for dinars in thanks.

Awesome Sahara trip - It was a great experience to spend 2 days in Sahara , enjoyed visits and activities we did. Our leader Morad was funny, lovely , responsible and informative. Long way from one spot to another, but worth it sitting in minibus and enjoy the sceneries and touch the culture of Tunisia. If there is any concerns or questions, it’s better to contact the agent directly, he responds in timely manners with details. In regards to pick up and drop off, I contacted customer service, although they tried their best, since they are not residents of Tunisia, I didn’t get comprehensive answer. However, I learned I could have been picked up in Sousse and dropped off in Hammamet which I would save time extra travelling from Sousse to Hammamet.
