Private VIP day from Sousse to El Jem, Kairouan, and Monastir, with hotel pickup, flexible pacing, and memorable UNESCO sights.

“We were fortunate to visit Kairouan and El Jem with an incredible driver named Mohammed Amine. He was very accommodating during the tour and guided us during the tour. He provided plenty of time during the stop at El Jem and provided good conversation during the driving. We had an unusual request and went out of his way to accommodate us. The tour to historic Kairouan and El Jem went smoothly because of the driver’s efforts and we were able to see everything we wanted to see. Mohammed Amine went above and beyond and made sure we saw some of the best that Tunisia has to offer.”

Private day trip from Tunis to Kairouan, El Jem, and Monastir with a guide, air-conditioned ride, and included entrances for strong value.

“The trip to El Jem alone is worth the trip. Amazing coliseum, smaller but more extensive than Rome due to the underground structures. Our guide, Caulios, was exceptional. We had a great day and learned a lot of history. Highly recommend.”

“A top class trip, our driver Abdallah, was so friendly and informative, nothing was too much for him. He made sure we got into the venues safely and waited for us outside. It was great to visit without the hassle of getting on the coach with fifty other people. I could not recommend this trip enough, the amphitheatre is stunning, the museum so beautiful and interesting. A must if you are visiting Tunisia! Thank you to Abdallah, you made it a very special trip.”

“Do your research when you want to buy a rug/carpet. Don’t just trust your guide to help you with that. If you really want it, do it on your own without a tour. We got into a discussion with the carpet Guy and the tour guide and the whole trip was just awkward after that. Also Read more”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 13 reviews · from $85

Full-day tour from Sousse to Kairouan and El Jem, mixing Islam’s holiest sites with one of the world’s best-preserved Roman amphitheatres.

“The guide was very knowledgeable and kind. He talked about the general history of Tunisia, as well as the specific places of Kairouan and El Jem. We were given time on our own in the museum and at the amphitheatre at El Jem. No real downsides to the trip, maybe some more time walking in the Medina in Kairouan but it was already a full day.”
