Half day tour of Carthage & Sidi Bou Said - We did a half day tour of Carthage and Sidi Bou Said with Mr. Lassad Chebbi, tour guide, and Mr. Adem Mallouli, driver. Mr. Chebbi was very informative and gave us a lot of details about the history of Carthage and the ruins around the Carthage Museum, aqueduct & cisterns, the impressive Antonine Baths, Tophet sanctuary, Punic port, and paleo-Christian museum. Since we are from the US, he also took us to see the North Africa American Cemetery. We then went to Sidi Bou Said where we strolled along the main street and took in the sights. It was very convenient to have the driver drop us off at so many different places that would have been challenging to navigate without a car.

The Guide Made the Difference! - The outstanding aspect of this tour was our guide. Fawzi was an historian, scholar and engaging conversationalist. Wandering through the ruins of Carthage would not have been meaningful without his insights. It was also enjoyable to discuss topics of cultures, customs and cuisines. Having an intelligent guide like Fawzi made this tour outstanding.

Must see in Tunis - It is not possible to come to Tunisia and mainly to the north without visiting the archaeological site of Carthage .Founded by the Phoenicians in the 1st century BC and taken over by the Romans at the beginning of the 1st century AD. The site is still very interesting to discover even if only the lower parts exist , except E 2 columns. Must see , superb view of the Mediterranean

Great - The history of Carthage came alive as we moved from site to site. Very interesting . our guide was well educated about the history of this and of Tunis in general. His name was Yohia Zeinekh, call him Yahyah. The driver was Adam Mallouli. Both were pleasant and helpful. They arrived at our meeting place punctually. It was a good experience.

We had the pleasure of... - We had the pleasure of exploring the archaeological site of Carthage and the charming city of Sidi Bou Said with an exceptional guide who truly brought the experience to life. His passion for Tunisia and its rich history was evident in every story he told and every detail he pointed out. In Carthage, he helped us imagine the grandeur of the ancient civilization, walking us through ruins that held centuries of history. He painted a vivid picture of the city’s rise and fall, and his knowledge added real depth to the visit. Sidi Bou Said was equally captivating — a picturesque town of blue and white, where our guide shared not only historical insights but also cultural gems, from local traditions to hidden spots we would have easily missed. It’s rare to meet someone so genuinely proud of their country, and his enthusiasm made this tour unforgettable. Highly recommended for anyone looking to experience Tunisia beyond the surface.
