What people are saying about Tunis Governorate

We had a very fun and educational day. The very good guide (unfortunately for my wife English speaking) took us all day to interesting places and sights and knew a lot about it. At the time, the statement “I am of the opinion that Carthage should be destroyed” was carefully listened to because there is little left of it. There was more than enough time for questions and photo opportunities. In a relaxed way we learned a lot about the local history. The drive from Sousse to Tunis in a chauffeured Skoda Octavia went quickly. However, a day trip is not cheap, no discount when participating with several people, while the car, driver and guide have already been paid…

Very good in relation to the cost, the camel driver Abdullah very focused on having a good time and the organizer of the camp helped me get transportation to the activity and then to my next destination. Highly recommended.
