Tunis: Medina, Carthage & Sidi Bou Said Private Day Trip

About This Experience

Six hours, a private vehicle, and — unusually for this catalogue — the entry fees genuinely included rather than sold as an extra. That is what separates this Didon Tours itinerary from most of the private trips around it, and it is reflected in a 4.8 rating across more than 130 reviews.

The day opens in the Medina of Tunis, the UNESCO-listed old city, with the option of adding the Bardo Museum to that morning block. It then drops down to La Goulette, the port suburb on the causeway, where lunch is taken at a local restaurant. Carthage fills the afternoon, and the day finishes in Sidi Bou Said with the Mediterranean below you.

Six hours is shorter than the eight- and nine-hour coach days, and that is deliberate — a private car cuts out the pickup circuit and the waiting. It also means the pacing is yours: the itinerary is fixed in order but not in the minute, so a longer stop at Carthage costs you time in the medina rather than being impossible.

Hotel pickup and drop-off in Tunis and the surrounding coastal suburbs. The operator confirms your collection time after booking; the day begins in the Medina of Tunis, so central hotels start earliest.
