This guide made our day in Tunis great. - The guide was absolutely amazing. Very knowledgeable and very nice. He seemed to know quite a bit about the whole history of the area. His driver was always courteous and seemed to enjoy his part in all of it (maybe because he stayed in the air conditioned car). It was incredibly hot on that day, but they made sure that we were not getting too overheated, as best as they could. Requires a good bit of walking, including up and down hill, and much of it isn't wheelchair accessible (some parts had ramps that I saw, though). I cannot recommend this guide highly enough.

Terrific Tour in Tunisia - Our tour guide, Nouraddean, was absolutely amazing. He was a wealth of history and knowledge. We had no idea about the rich history of Tunisia and its importance to the world and he made it come alive for us. He tailored the tour to our shorter time in port, showed us the most important sights, and added stops to our tour based on our questions and interests. When we spoke to other cruise passengers who booked excursions through the ship or did things on their own, our experience was above and beyond what they did. I would go back to Tunisia or anywhere else our guide was leading a tour in a heart beat.

Unique insights - Exploring Carthage, Bardo Museum, Sidi Bou Said, and Hammamet's Medina was a cultural odyssey through Tunisia's rich history. From ancient ruins to vibrant markets, each stop offered unique insights into the country's heritage and charm.

Carthage with guide Ali Khammassi - We were on a private group tour from the cruise port to Carthage and Sidi Bou Said. The service was fantastic from first communication/planning to the end of the trip. Punctual, professional and courteous. A special thanks to our local guide Ali Khammassi for his excellent knowledge and skills. Experienced, professional and friendly guide.

Great experience in a short amount of time! - I had flight delays, but the tour company (Saharansky) was able to work with me to get this tour changed and amended for my needs. The guide was great, helpful, and gave good insight with history and Tunisian culture.

Wonderful tour of Ancient Carthage. - A fantastic way to experience many of the ancient sites of Carthage and to learn more about the area and the civilisations that have inhabited it over the past millennia. The perfect way to see a diverse range of sites (Birsa Hill, the Tophet, the Baths of Antoninus Pius and many more) easily and comfortably.
