About This Experience

This is the fully-inclusive version of the four-stop day: a licensed guide, a traditional Tunisian lunch, and entry to both Carthage and the Bardo Museum, all in the price. It runs as a small group rather than a coach, and at 4.5 across nearly 150 reviews it is the best-established of the all-in options.

The drive out to Carthage passes some of Tunisia's most expensive villas, which sets up the day's real subject: what Rome did to the city in 146 BC, and what excavation has since recovered — houses, drainage, stretches of the city walls. Sidi Bou Said follows, then lunch at a local restaurant, then the Bardo, whose mosaic collection is the largest in the world. The Medina of Tunis closes the day.

Two constraints are worth planning around. The tour does not run on Mondays, when the Bardo is shut. And a booking for a single adult is only confirmed twelve hours before departure — two or more travellers are confirmed instantly.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does it cost so much more than the other four-stop tours?

Because nothing is left to pay later. The guide, lunch and both sets of entry tickets are inside the price, and it runs as a small group rather than a full coach. Compare it against a cheaper listing only after adding that listing's excluded costs back in.

Can I book it on a Monday?

No. The listing states the tour does not run on Mondays because the Bardo is closed.

I'm travelling alone — will my booking be confirmed?

Yes, but not instantly: single-adult bookings are confirmed twelve hours before the tour date, because the operator needs the group to make up. Two or more travellers confirm immediately.

How much of the day is at the Bardo?

Enough for the main mosaic galleries. The Bardo can absorb a whole morning if you let it, but on a four-stop day it gets the ninety minutes or so that the rest of the itinerary can spare.

Is lunch included on every option?

Lunch is part of this listing's inclusions. Drinks are not.
