1.Fun VIP Tour: El Jem, Kairouan, Monastir/Sousse (PICKUP ALL City)

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 451 reviews · 8 to 9 hours (approx.) · from $30Our pick

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.”
