Great tour of some ancient sites - This tour was amazing! The visit to Dougga was definitely a highlight, but the tour guide also stopped on the road from Testour to Dougga and let us see a Berber woman baking bread in an ancient furnace. We then got to eat the bread with some local ricotta from Testour and both were delicious. Chaouki was a very knowledgeable tour guide and he did a fantastic job.

Another Fantastic Excursion with Ahmed - Once again, Ahmed was an excellent guide on this tour. We visited Dougga, the best-preserved archaeological site, with stunning temples reminiscent of Greece. Bulla Regia was equally fascinating, with its underground villas that offered a cool escape from the heat. Ahmed’s knowledge and professionalism made the experience even better. I highly recommend this tour!

Fantastic local guide and historical information - We did a tour to Dougga and Bulla Reggia in March 2024. Those stops were really comprehensive, and we learned a lot about Roman History. I recommend this tour for anyone who wants to learn more about archaeology and history. The whole day was planned out really well and our guide Rafi provided so much context and information for each stop. We had a really fun day out with him. The tour can be tailored to any walking speed.

Dougga well worth a visit - It was a long day (11.5 hours), but well worth it, as Dougga is a fantastic site, and Bulla Regia was also worth a short visit. The only downside was that our driver crashed the car (whilst we were in it!) into the back of another car during the day. No-one was seriously injured, but it did cause delays.
