1000 out of 10 - I had the best experience on this tour. My guide, Feras, was absolutely wonderful, and Eddy, the bus driver, was also fantastic. I booked this tour because I was traveling through Tunisia alone and prefer not to rent cars when I travel. I wanted to see as much of the country as possible in a short amount of time, and we managed to do exactly that—over 1,100 km, yet nothing ever felt rushed. It was such a memorable experience, and the team made me feel genuinely welcome, even as a solo traveler. I never felt lonely, and the group was great as well. I highly recommend this experience to anyone, especially solo travelers.

Must go - This tour is really well planned. It was packed with interesting activities and everything went smoothly - it was just really fun to take part of. This is tour has something to offer for all ages and I think everybody visiting Tunisia should go on this tour. We got to see the other side of Tunisia, we would have never seen on our own.

Exceptional, a circuit that I highly recommend - Very good experience with Wassim that I highly recommend for those who want to discover the star wars sites, desert, Tuaregs, Berbers .. We drove 1,400km in 2 days. It was magical, Dr Wassim is passionate about his country and has this passion passed on. I have very good memories of all these little villages we visited, the sunset in the desert, the sunrise to the salt lake. The circuit in 4x4, the camel ride. Traditional meals. Al Kairaouen Mosque.. We left with bcp details and information about this beautiful country that we will not hesitate to share. Thanks also to our driver Sabri, smiling and punctual. Driving with bcp of wisdom! Thank you bcp

Amazing tour - a must in Tunisia! - This trip is an absolute must if you’re in Tunisia, do not miss this! The highlight of our holiday by far. The tour guide was so knowledgeable and informative, I really learnt so much. He tries his best to keep you constantly engaged on long bus journeys. A member of our group fell off the camel during the camel ride and, while it was absolutely not his fault, the tour guide was very apologetic and ensured they were taken extra care of for the rest of the trip. The bus stops regularly so you don’t feel too cooped up, and you see so much of the country in 2 days it’s really worth it. There’s plenty more f opportunities to get out and go to the toilet or get a drink and street cu your legs. Highlights were the camel ride and the 4x4s which are a must! However all the stops are great and so interesting, Mos Espa is amazing even if you aren’t a Star Wars fan. Sahara hotel is absolutely fine for such a cheap price and the pool there is genuinely really really nice, we were in until 11pm Make sure you bring plenty of 10s and 20s and you will want to tip guides and staff along the way. I would also recommend bringing a travel pillow as we slept up the back of the bus a lot. Thanks so much to driver and guide for making this an unforgettable experience!

Tunisian Sahara 2-Day Tour: Phillips family 28 to 29 July 2025 - Our tour guide was excellent, well organised, and perfectly bilingual in English and French. Special mention should be made of the very impressive and patient bus driver who made us feel safe. Along with a lovely camel ride, we visited the historic Roman El Jem Colosseum; the rock-cut homes in the village of Matmata, seen in Star Wars; the salt lake of Chott el Djerid; the 1998 Star Wars city film set at Onk Jemal; and the mosques in the city of Kairouan. Taken together, it was a wonderful family experience, which we would highly recommend to anyone!!

Amazing experience - Had a fantastic time on this trip into the desert. So many great stops and photo opportunities. Meals was great. Yes there was quite abit of time spent of the bus but it was nice to be out of the heat for abit and the Tour guide made it go quicker with his stories and knowledge of each area, the country in general and each location. Both the tour guide and driver were very friendly and did a fantastic job. Special memories created with my son camel riding in the Sahara watching the sun set. He’s also a massive Star Wars fan so this made it even more special. Would definitely recommend.

old and not maintained residence - stay in Crete at the residence "Petra Village" dirty and unmaintained apartment, very old furniture, tiny and dirty plastic terrace table, used chairs, dishes for 2 (we were 4!) and more than summary. Sofa bed concrete and mattresses dirty and unprotected, insects underneath (silver fish, ants and torn).No air conditioning and mosquitoes at will! Swimming pool dirty and not maintained, even dangerous for children (more tile joints and dirty and broken plastic borders). At the coffee bar soluble at 3€ and no dish after 5pm. Nice personal damage and well placed residence but stay and services not up to standard.
