How the day works

Departure is from your accommodation in Tunis or immediately nearby, at the time agreed the day before. The format fits a half day, leaving the morning or the afternoon free. It is the option most cruise passengers on a call choose, for whom the return time takes precedence over everything else.

The driver's tip — The sites are spread over more than 4 km. With a driver on hand the whole set takes half a day; on foot it takes two. More about Carthage →

Frequently asked questions

Is this excursion private?

Yes. No other travellers join your group. You leave at the time you choose, stay as long as you want at each site, and head back when you are done. That is the essential difference from a packaged excursion.

Are entry fees and lunch included?

No. Entry tickets are paid on site, which leaves you free to visit or skip each one, and lunch is at your own cost. The driver takes you to places he knows, matched to your budget and to any dietary needs you flag at booking.

Can we start from a city other than Tunis?

Yes. Tunis is the most common starting point for this excursion, but TunisiaRide adapts the itinerary to where you are staying. The total duration and the price are recalculated accordingly and quoted before confirmation.
