The experience

You arrive at Port La Goulette and your guide meets you at the cruise terminal. From there, the day unfolds across four stops: the Medina of Tunis first, a sprawling medieval maze of covered souks, artisan workshops and historic palaces classified as a UNESCO World Heritage Site; then La Goulette, the seaside district where cafes and restaurants line the waterfront; Carthage, the ancient archaeological site scattered across the modern city and also UNESCO-listed, with views across the coast; and finally Sidi Bou Said, the clifftop village of blue and white Ottoman and Andalusian architecture overlooking the Mediterranean. An hour and a half of driving connects these sites across the day.

Lunch happens at a local restaurant partway through, included in the price. Your guide speaks English, Spanish, Italian, French or another language you choose at booking. The vehicle is air-conditioned, and entry to both the Medina and Carthage is covered. Because this is a private tour, the pace and the stops are yours alone: no waiting for a group to gather, no fixed schedule that cuts short the moment you want to linger.

Return transport to Port La Goulette is timed to your ship's departure window, so the full day of sightseeing fits inside the port call without the stress of a tight connection.
