Djerba: Ksar Ghilane 4x4 & Hot Spring with LunchYou're picked up from your Djerba hotel and driven through changing desert landscape to a natural hot spring oasis where you swim and eat lunch. After that, you visit a centuries-old fortified village with narrow streets and traditional architecture, then return in the late afternoon. The whole day is eight hours, your guide is approved by the national tourist office, and you don't arrange transport, meals or entry yourself.Is it for me?Book this if you want to see the Sahara and a historic village in one day without arranging your own transport, meals, or guide — the fixed itinerary and included lunch mean you show up and the day unfolds without logistics.
Carthage: Guided Bike Tour of Ancient Sites & Roman BathsYou’ll cycle through Carthage with a local guide, stopping at ancient Punic sanctuaries, massive Roman baths facing the sea, and up Byrsa Hill for sweeping views. Expect easy riding (or grab an e-bike), plenty of stories from your guide, and time to soak up Mediterranean light—plus all gear included.
Sousse or Monastir Walking Tour: Local guide, your pace, hotel pickupYou’ll wander Sousse’s lively medina or soak up Monastir’s calm coast with a local guide who meets you right at your hotel. Taste street snacks, hear real stories, set your own pace—and enjoy small details like group photos or Wi-Fi help if you need it. The city will feel personal, not just another stop.
Kairouan, El Jem & Monastir: Private Day Trip with PickupYou’ll step into Kairouan’s living history, taste sweets in hidden bakeries, wander El Jem’s Roman arena with stories from your local guide-driver, and feel sea breezes atop Monastir’s fortress. Flexible pickup and a private pace mean you can linger where it feels right—this day is yours to fill with real moments.
Djerba: Tataouine & Chenini Berber Village Private Day TripYou're picked up at 8am and driven south through olive fields and past the salt lake of Sebkhet el Melah to Tataouine's market for a coffee break. Then you visit Ksar Ouled Soltane and the hilltop Berber village of Chenini, each with a guided walk through cave dwellings and traditional architecture, followed by lunch and Ksar Hadada before returning to Djerba by evening. The private guide, transportation, traditional meal and water are all included, so you only need to show up ready to walk.Is it for me?This works well if you want to see the Berber villages and ksours south of Djerba without arranging transport, hiring a guide separately, or timing the stops yourself — the private setup and fixed itinerary handle all of that, leaving you to focus on the sites.
Carthage Bardo Medina Tour: UNESCO Ruins & MosaicsThis full-day tour from Hammamet covers four of Tunisia's most significant heritage sites: the UNESCO-listed archaeological ruins of Carthage, the Bardo Museum's world-class Roman mosaic collection, the coastal village of Sidi Bou Said, and the Medina of Tunis with its traditional markets and Zitouna Mosque. A guide in your choice of language, air-conditioned vehicle, hotel pickup, and entrance fees to Carthage and the Bardo are included in the full-day options; the car-and-driver option lets you explore independently. The Bardo closes Mondays, and vegetarian meals are available on request.Is it for me?Choose the full-day tour with a guide if you want the history and context woven together as you move through each site; the driver-only option works if you prefer to explore at your own pace and skip the Bardo or other stops. If you're arriving by cruise ship, pickup from the port is available for an extra fee.
Hammamet: Quad Bike Adventure 35km Off-Road HillsYou ride a 35km off-road route through Nabeul's hills and olive groves, 90 minutes of actual quad time plus safety briefing and panoramic stops. Groups stay under eight riders, your guide is local, and hotel pickup is included. Mint tea and olive oil tasting wrap up the afternoon before you head back.Is it for me?Right for riders who want real off-road terrain and small-group pacing without the tourist-circuit feel. The 90-minute ride is steady but not extreme — expect dust, engine noise, and terrain that changes constantly, which is exactly what makes the three hours feel like an actual adventure instead of a loop.
