Exploring the hidden treasures of Monastir, El Jem, and Sousse with our private guide was a fantastic experience for the whole family. The transportation was comfortable, and we appreciated the flexibility to spend more time at each site, especially at the stunning amphitheater in El Jem. Our only suggestion would be to include a bit more historical context during the drive to enrich the journey even further.

Our day in Tunis was filled with unforgettable moments as we ventured through the stunning ruins of El Jem, where the amphitheater left us in awe of its grandeur. The vibrant markets in Sousse were a highlight, buzzing with life and offering hidden gems that we couldn’t resist picking up as souvenirs. While our guide was incredibly knowledgeable, a bit more time at Monastir’s beautiful coastline would have made our experience even better!

This private tour took me to some of the most fascinating sites around Tunis, including the stunning ruins of El Jem and the charming streets of Sousse. I loved having a personal guide who knew all the hidden gems and offered insights that I would never have discovered on my own. The only suggestion I have is to allow a bit more time in Monastir to soak in its beautiful harbor and historical sites.
