El Jem with friends - Our trip felt like 3 friends out for a day, Ala took all our needs into account. We enjoyed it so much we booked to go to Cathage and Sidi Bou Said only if he could take us. El Jem tips, if you want to go up to top tier, wear sensible shoes. The museum is amazing, take your time to understand the mythology inside the mosaic. Highly recommended.

Amazing and informative Tour - The tour was fantastic! Our tour guide Alaa was amazing! He showed us all the really cool spots and explained in detail all the sites. He was very friendly and patient with us as some of us had mobility problems. He even dropped us back in the hotel.

Great guided tour - Our guide, Ala arrived on time and waited whilst we changed some money at reception. He gave us a friendly greeting and went through the itinerary for the excursion. On our way to El Jem, Ala gave us information of the areas we drove through and answered all our questions. At El Jem, Ala spoke of the history of the arena and took us underground. He then left us to walk freely but was on hand if needed. We then headed to the mosaic museum and again Ala was great with his knowledge of the mosaics and sculptures. We had plenty of time to wander around the museum. Then when we were ready Ala took us back to the hotel. Really enjoyed our trip.

El Jem - The Collosseum and Museum at El Jem was exceptional. We had a private guide he was very informative, knowledgeable and polite. He was a careful driver and made us feel at ease. The Collessum was very well preserved and offered a great insight into the past. Whilst the Museum contained the finest mosaics we have ever seen. A wonderful trip.

We were very much entertained!! - Our driver/guide Abdallah was very knowledgeable and provided us with very interesting facts along the way. Definitely made the trip even more memorable. The amphitheatre was spectacular. Even better than the pictures. The museum was only a short 5min ride away and was also worth it.

Brilliant if actually a private tour - Abdullah our guide was brilliant, very friendly and knowledgeable about the el jem and the museum, what let it down was it wasn't private even though the advert stated it would be. We had two random gentlemen with my family. This also meant that when the two gentleman were late to pick up, we were delayed, Abdullah tried to message me on WhatsApp but with the Internet down in our hotel we eneded up stood in the heat waiting.
