From Tunis or Sousse: Medina, Carthage & Sidi Bou Said Tour

About This Experience

At $22 this is the lowest-priced route into the Carthage and Sidi Bou Said circuit from the southern resort towns, and it covers the full three-stop itinerary: the Medina of Tunis, Carthage, and the blue village. Departures run from Hammamet, Sousse, Monastir and Tunis in an air-conditioned van, with hotel pickup included.

The day opens in the medina — the UNESCO-listed old city, its narrow streets, the souks and the Zitouna Mosque — followed by lunch at a local restaurant if you have taken that option. The afternoon covers Carthage, where the Byrsa ruins and the Antonine Baths are the named stops, and then Sidi Bou Said for the whitewashed lanes and the sea.

Understand what the base price buys. Transport, hotel pickup and 24/7 assistance are included; the guide and the lunch are options, and the entry tickets to Carthage and the Bardo are excluded outright. From Sousse or Monastir the drive is long — allow around two hours in each direction — so this is a full day however it is sold.
