Tunis Airport to La Goulette: Private Transfer, No Taxi Lines

Summary

Private Tunis airport ride to La Goulette port, no taxi hassle

You’ll step off your plane at Tunis Carthage Airport and spot your driver waiting with your name on a sign—no stress or taxi lines. Settle into an air-conditioned car for the quick drive to Port La Goulette while your local driver handles everything (even tracking your flight). You’ll feel looked after from arrival right up until you reach your hotel or cruise ship.

What’s the experience like?

Honestly, I was a bit nervous about landing in Tunis — airports always make me feel like I’m missing something. But as soon as I walked out of arrivals at Tunis Carthage Airport, there was my name on a sign. Our driver (I think his name was Sami?) smiled and waved me over. He spoke English with a gentle accent and helped me wrangle my suitcase, which had already lost a wheel somewhere between Paris and here.

The car was spotless — smelled faintly of lemon, which I didn’t expect — and the air conditioning felt like a small miracle after the sticky heat outside. Sami asked if I’d been to Port La Goulette before (I hadn’t), then pointed out the old olive trees along the road as we left the airport behind. There’s this moment when you first see the Mediterranean light through the window; it’s softer than I imagined, almost hazy over the city rooftops. The drive itself was maybe 20 minutes? Not long enough for me to get anxious again.

I kept thinking how much easier this was than haggling with taxi drivers or waiting in some endless line for a shuttle. Sami tracked my flight so he knew when I’d land — he told me they do that for everyone, just in case there are delays or you’re running late at customs. It’s such a relief when someone else is handling those little details, you know? Oh, and he didn’t mind my clumsy French either — just laughed when I tried to pronounce “La Goulette” properly.
