Bardo National Museum alone was worth the trip, but combined with Avenue Habib Bourguiba this itinerary really delivered. Breakfast at the hotel was good every day and the local guide was knowledgeable.

We added a couple of optional activities beyond Sidi Bou Said village streets and don't regret it. Good value for what was included, and the food recommendations from our guide were spot on.

Our trip to Tunis was fantastic from start to finish. The hotel was clean and well located, and the guided visit to Dougga Roman ruins day trip was a real highlight. Airport transfers were on time both ways.

Tunis is stunning and this package covered the essentials well, especially Medina of Tunis. The hotel could have been a little closer to the center but transport was easy.
