- The Best of Tunisia & All-inclusive Beach Extension (Stay connected), Small Group Tour
While I did not take this trip due to a last minute cancellation, the customer service that I received from this company was incredible. On the week of the tour, some unforeseen circumstances led me to have to call of my trip to Tunisia entirely. I was concerned that I would not be able receive a proper refund because of the short notice, but this company did an incredible job of understanding my needs and serving me in the best way possible. They communicated with me on a Sunday, and with the right context, provided me with a response/solution that is an A+ in terms of customer service.
- Nature and Culture, Small Group Tour
This is a quite well constructed and very well organised tour which provides a very good glimpse of green, fertile northern Tunisia, away from the classic images of desert and southern beaches. Transport and transfers all worked as promised and information flow from Tunisie Voyages was excellent. The choice of hotels, though, disappointed me. They were all classic package tour “tourist traps”, isolated from local communities and of relatively low amenity. None provided a bottle of water, and two of them didn’t even provide a glass! Meals were the usual uninspiring buffet. There was zero chance of interaction with the local community, which I think greatly detracted from what could otherwise be a good value experience. The same applied to programmed lunch stops.
