What people love about Tunisia Tours
- Tunisia Discovery, Small Group Tour
Sami was great. He provided the perfect balance of information and tome to enjoy the sites. He was very personable and made for a fantastic trip. The tour was well organized and the company was extremely responsive to questions. Thanks for a memorable holiday!
- Highlights of Tunisia, Small Group Tour
Tour was much better than I thought. Thank to tour operator Ms Ekbel and our guide Monder.
- Tunisia UNESCO World Heritage Sites
I booked my Tunisia UNESCO Tour in advance, and even before I arrived in had decided to do a '3day add on' to see even more ancient sights... I thank tour director Aymen for coordinating everything, flexible billing options and working out all the details before arriving: He really put together a memirable trip... My extra ordinary tourguide Hamdi met me at the airport, and in the course of 12 days drove me to see many, many remarkable ancient Roman & Punic sights... He was professional, extremely knowledgeable and explained everything in a fun way, easy to understand... I learned so much about this beautiful part of the world... Hotels and meals were great... People friendly and welcoming... I couldn't have had a better time and would go back in a heartbeat to experience more... David
Travel Tunisia your way
Our explorer tours through Tunisia really show you everything from coast to desert over 8-10 well-planned days. Starting in Tunis, you'll head south through Kairouan before reaching the Sahara sands. The Roman sites are incredible - at Carthage and El Jem, you get to walk through massive ancient structures while our guides explain how they've lasted almost 2000 years. We've arranged varied places to stay along the way: comfortable 4-star hotels in Tunis then out to Ksar Ghilane where you'll sleep in desert camps with the stars overhead. The natural hot springs there are surrounded by palm trees - perfect for a swim after a day exploring the dunes.
These immersive multi-day tours blend ancient heritage sites and authentic local connections throughout Tunisia. Expert guides walk you through the Phoenician and Roman layers of Carthage, sharing archaeological context before leading you into Kairouan's sacred medina, where local women demonstrate traditional rug-making at their cooperatives. You'll meet artisan families in Gammarth for home-cooking sessions, visit glass-blowing workshops with craftspeople trained in Murano and discover centuries-old pastry making in Kairouan, tasting makroudh while learning traditional recipes. The cultural exchanges run deep - from learning desert navigation with Amazigh guides, exploring ancient olive pressing in Toujane's caves, sharing meals with families in their Chenini homes and discovering medina workshops. Our travelers tell us how much they value this mix of UNESCO sites with genuine local experiences, whether they're watching artisans at work, learning traditional crafts or preparing couscous under the stars at desert camps.
Select from our extensive range of 25 fully guided tours to enjoy a worry-free experience through Tunisia with our expert guides leading the way.

Best tour companies for Tunisia tours
Looking at the tour operators in Tunisia, Tunisie Voyages gets consistently good marks from our travelers, especially for their organization and guide quality. Sami, one of their regular guides, really stands out - people often mention how he brings the history to life and knows exactly when to add those interesting cultural details that make a tour special. If you're checking TourRadar options, Intrepid's "Tunisia Expedition" has built up quite a following. Their customers particularly like how the itinerary takes you to places other tours skip, and you get those genuine cultural connections rather than just ticking off tourist sites. It's worth noting though that not everything's perfect - we've had some feedback about tour experiences not quite matching what's written in the brochures, particularly around Kairouan. One operator (who travelers didn't name specifically) seems to have some consistency issues between what's promised and what's delivered on the ground. But overall, between Tunisie Voyages and Intrepid, you've got solid options. The key difference is that Tunisie Voyages tends to focus more on classic sightseeing with really strong guided elements, while Intrepid leans toward those off-the-beaten-path experiences and cultural immersion.
