The experience

The tour starts in Sousse's Medina, the old town you explore on foot with your guide. The narrow streets and markets show the city's history and culture. This is where you spend the first part of the morning or afternoon. From there, the air-conditioned vehicle takes you to El Kantaoui, a resort built in Arab-Andalusian style about twenty kilometers away. The marina holds 340 boat rings and sits at the heart of a planned complex of hotels, shops and leisure areas. It is a working port, not a museum piece, and the guide will explain what you are looking at. A short break at Hard Rock Cafe is built into the stop.

The final leg goes to Hergla, a coastal city another short drive away. The landscape shifts as you move along the Mediterranean shore. Hergla has a long history and varied terrain that the guide will point out. The whole route is designed to fit into four hours, which means you are back with time left in your day for lunch, a rest, or other plans.
