Informative trip at the right pace - Great informative and prepared. Knowledgeable tour and were also allowed self exploration time too. Previous tours have been with a larger group, first time took a private tour, the private car trip was appreciated.

The unexpected highlight - Alaa, was very knowledgeable and helpful. Glad to have visited El Jem but the unexpected highlight was the museum. The mosaics were incredible and the external villa layout was the best.

Great value half day tour - Private Half Day Tour Roman Coliseum EL JEM Ala was right on time picking us up, air conditioned car and misting fans kept us cool on the hour long drive to El Jem. On the way Ala talked about Tunisia’s history and what they grow here, a lot of olives, figs, peaches, almonds. He spoke about the colloseum’s history and origins, pointing out interesting facts about the structure and how the different parts were used, we had about 30 mins after the guided tour to explore on our own. There are a lot of steep steps to the higher levels so not great for anyone with mobility problems, but what a view at the top! Ala gave us a bottle of water and took us to the museum, with a guided tour of the mosaics and Roman road and ruins of a settlement, he was very knowledgeable. He went at a pace that suited us, covering the most interesting exhibits first as we had a teen with us who was not as interested in the history as we adults! Back to our hotel by lunchtime, but could have taken longer had we just wandered around the museum in our own as well as the tour. Ala is a great guide and looked after us well.

Excellent experience - Alla was a fantastic guide, very friendly and knowledgeable. We had the perfect amount of time at each place and he left us to a bit of time on our own at each place which was nice. We even had our own choice of music for the car journey!
