Testimonials
I booked a four-day tour for my four-person family (husband, wife, and 2 high-school-aged daughters). We began in Tunis and traveled south, stopping at several spots along the route to the Sahara, staying one night in a desert tent, and then returning to Tunis via Djerba Island and El Jem. These are a few highlights: 1) The tour guide was excellent. Extremely professional, perceptive, good English, and engaging to converse with. It kept things moving, but it also provided us with time and space to enjoy the vacation as a family. 2) The hotels were excellent. 3) Desert camp was *the* trip’s highlight. Very breathtaking. 4) The Canyons and Oasis were stunning. 5) El Jem is wonderful. We thought the schedule was a little crowded. this 4-Day in Tunisia Private Exploration Trip was amazing.

This 4-Day in Tunisia Private Exploration Trip was really a once-in-a-lifetime experience that exceeded all of our expectations! From camping in the magnificent Saharan desert to visit the ancient Roman remains at El Jem, each encounter was distinct and a feast for the senses. We are eternally thankful to our incredible guide Mamdouh for making our vacation unforgettable! He was really educated, and sincere, and went above and beyond to ensure that we were comfortable and had a good time. Tunisians are kind and giving, the cuisine is exquisite, and the nation is rich in culture and history. We departed with a deep love and respect for Tunisia and cannot recommend this trip highly enough!
