Your dedicated driver will whisk you away to explore the breathtaking mosaic treasures of the Bardo Museum, the vibrant souks of the UNESCO-listed Tunis Medina, the legendary ancient ruins of Carthage, and the mesmerizing blue and white clifftop streets of Sidi Bou Saïd.

Our absolute number-one bestseller. Experience the timeless heart and soul of Tunisia on a completely personalized schedule.

3. Kairouan & El Jem
A deeply moving journey through Tunisia's spiritual and architectural wonders. Feel the serene atmosphere of Kairouan as you explore the Great Mosque, the oldest Islamic monument in North Africa, and the ancient Aghlabid basins. Then, prepare to be completely awestruck as you stand inside El Jem, a colossal Roman amphitheater so masterfully preserved you can still walk the underground tunnels where gladiators once waited.
4. Sousse & Monastir
Discover the sparkling gems of the Sahel coast. This vibrant tour blends rich medieval history with refreshing maritime charm. Explore the fortified sea-facing Medina and the millennial Ribat of Sousse, then cruise down the coast to Monastir to admire its majestic seaside fortress. Top off your day with a peaceful visit to the grand, gold-domed Bourguiba Mausoleum and a walk along the scenic marina.
5. Nabeul & Hammamet
Escape into the warm, fragrant, and artistic world of the Cap Bon peninsula. Start your morning in Nabeul, the craft capital of Tunisia, where you will visit multi-generational pottery workshops and bustling artisan markets. Afterward, unwind in beautiful Hammamet, strolling through its pristine, whitewashed seaside Medina and breathing in the scent of orange blossoms from its historic fortress gardens.
6. Kelibia, El Haouaria, Kerkouane & Korbous
An exhilarating coastal loop that showcases Tunisia's wild, rugged, and untamed side. Climb to the ramparts of Kelibia's massive Byzantine fortress for endless Mediterranean views, explore the dramatic sea caves of El Haouaria at the tip of the peninsula, discover the completely unique Punic ruins of Kerkouane, and soothe yourself in the natural hot springs of Korbous cascading directly into the sea.
7. Dougga & Zaghouan
Designed for true history lovers and travelers who appreciate rolling, majestic natural landscapes. Journey inland to Dougga, indisputably the most spectacular and breathtakingly intact Roman city in North Africa, beautifully perched on a green hill of olive groves. On your return, stop at the peaceful Water Temple in Zaghouan, the mountain spring that supplied Carthage's legendary historic aqueduct.
8. Bizerte & Ichkeul National Park
A highly authentic escape to the northernmost tip of the African continent. Discover Bizerte, a historic port town where vibrant red and blue fishing boats float before an old Spanish Kasbah. Then, transition to pure wilderness at Ichkeul National Park, a stunning UNESCO biosphere reserve with scenic lake trails that serve as a lush sanctuary for thousands of migratory birds.
9. Tabarka & Aïn Draham
Prepare to see a completely unexpected, emerald-green side of Tunisia. Explore Tabarka's dramatic Coral Coast, famous for its Genoese fort and sharp rock needles jutting out of the Mediterranean. Then, climb into the dense, misty oak forests of Aïn Draham, a mountain village with red-roofed stone houses that feels like a hidden alpine retreat.
10. Djerba Island & Zarzis
Soak in the peaceful, magical rhythm of the deep south. This culturally rich tour dives straight into Djerba's mesmerizing multicultural heritage.

Travel northwest to discover two historical marvels. First, explore Testour, a beautiful seventeenth-century Andalusian town famous for its unique counter-clockwise clock tower and exquisite architecture.

A tailored historical pairing combining the grand coastal monument of Monastir with the Roman engineering marvel of El Jem.
