great tour of kairouan and el jem - this was a great tour! at first all the tour companies required a minimum of 2 people to go, but my sister didn't want to take the tour, so eventually I found a listing online for this tour and I was allowed to sign up with just one person. I expected other people on the tour with us, but I was the only one. we had a driver and a guide (Hoda) and me. First stop was Kairouan, where we saw a large mausoleum, and the mosque. probably about a 1.5-2 hr drive from Tunis (they picked me up at my hotel) then we headed east to El Jem, where there's a large roman amphitheatre that's in really good condition. They were preparing the amphitheatre for a July festival of live performances. then, because i was interested in the history, Hoda took me to a place they don't normally stop at. It was a museum of mosaics, many of them taken from the floors of the large former mansions of El Jem. simply stunning, and much better than the mosaic museum I saw in istanbul After that we went and had a very nice lunch in a nice hotel, all included. I ended up taking a nap on the drive back to tunis, so it went pretty quickly. I really recommend this tour, Hoda was a great guide, and very well-informed and personable.

Thank you so much !! - Jamal was the best tour guide ever! He went above and beyond for us and made us feel very safe (2 women traveling alone). I believe the group and the guide really make these trips a success (or not) and in this case, we couldn’t have asked for anything better! Thank you so much Jamal!!

A step into the past - Boutheina was my guide for the second day in a row and she greeted me like a friend! I always enjoy getting out of the city for a day to see the countryside and this was a very enjoyable day. The El Jem runis are so well preserved and I was excited to see such a historical monument which brings history to the present day
