Great day out. - Car was clean comfortable and on time. Both driver and guide had a very good command of English so no problem with communication or understanding the description of the places visited.
The lunch was very nice.
Be careful about footwear as there is quite a bit of walking. We started from Hammamet so it was an hours drive each way before the actual tour but it was an enjoyable day.
Highly recommended.
We did enquire locally and the cost would have been slightly higher.

Great trip - Great trip of you have a short time in Tunisa. Cover all the main bit and adapted according to our need, my mum is older and got tired by the end so they made it easier for her to get around and shortened the walk around Tunis.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely Unforgettable Experience! - Our private day tour of Medina of Tunis, Carthage, and Sidi Bou Said was nothing short of spectacular! From start to finish, the experience was seamless, informative, and incredibly enjoyable.
Fehmi, our guide, was outstanding—his knowledge of Tunisia’s history, culture, and architecture made every stop come to life. He was warm, engaging, and made sure we got the most out of each location. Osama, our driver, was equally fantastic—safe, punctual, and made our journey comfortable throughout the day.
Each site was breathtaking in its own way. The Medina of Tunis was a fascinating dive into history, bustling with life and filled with hidden gems. Carthage was mesmerizing, and standing among the ancient ruins was truly surreal. And Sidi Bou Said—what a dreamy, picturesque village! The blue-and-white streets felt like something out of a postcard.
The included lunch was delicious, offering a taste of authentic Tunisian cuisine in a beautiful setting. Every detail was thoughtfully planned, and we never felt rushed.
If you’re visiting Tunisia, this tour is an absolute must! Fehmi and Osama made our experience unforgettable, and we would highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to explore the best of Tunis in a day. Thank you for an incredible adventure!

Fantastic Historical Tour of Carthage, Tunis and the surrounding area - We booked the trip via the App and were quickly contacted by the operator to confirm pick up time and location in Hammamet.
On the day our driver arrived in a clean and modern people carrier for onward travel to pick up our guide Beligh in Tunis.
Beligh turned out to be a hugely enthusiastic and knowledgeable guide with clear English.
Our tour took us to Carthage, the Roman Baths of Antonius, Sidi Bou Said (where we had the opportunity to stop for a drink and some pastries overlooking the Marina) then on to lunch of fresh fish before heading off for a walk through the Medina of Tunis.
All in all we had a fantastic day that turned out to be one of the highlights of our stay.
Cannot recommend Beligh enough as a guide, should we visit Tunisia again we would certainly contact him for another tour.

Incredible tour of the ruins of Carthage and other sites provided by Beligh who brings the history alive - We did the ‘Private Day Tour: Medina of Tunis, Carthage, Sidi Bousaid with lunch’ on the back of watching a YouTube video where Tom Thornton had done the same and were delighted to also have Beligh as our guide. We were collected from our hotel (Palais Bayram, which we would also highly recommend, very traditional mini Tunisian palace/Riad feel) at 9 AM and were wisked off on a tour starting with Ruins of ancient Carthage, then Punic Tophet (Carthaginian baby cemetery) followed by a Punic port with circular island, then the Antonin baths, followed by a drink in Sidi Bou Said(similar looking to Santorini) at Cafe des Delices, lunch was then provided elsewhere (local specialty brick (deep fried egg in filo pastry) and we chose the fish with came with rice and veg, very tasty, before finally being dropped back at the medina where Beligh walked us around before showing us back to our hotel, though the labirinth which is the medina, arriving back around 4PM.
Having seen the video produced by Tom we knew what we were getting in Beligh, and he was just as good in real life, he was very well educated on the subject matter and has an infecectious enthusiasm which made the history even more interesting. On the breaks where we were left to explore for a few mins on our own you could see him scurrying about the ruins making notes and taking pictures as he is obviously devoted to continuing his learning on the subject matter and drawing conclusions based on his finds.
It is incredible how we managed to cover so much in one day and Beligh did a brilliant job of educating us on the history of the ruins and wider country. I think we have both left wanting to read and learn more about Carthage, and the incredibly colourful history it offers.
