VIP Private Tour of Tunis: Carthage, Medina & Sidi Bou Said
About This Experience
At 4.9 across more than a hundred reviews this is the best-rated private day trip in the catalogue, and the reviews keep returning to the same thing: nobody is sold anything. The listing states it outright — no commercial stops, no mandatory visits — which on a Tunisian day tour is a meaningful promise rather than a slogan.
The route runs through the Medina of Tunis or the Bardo Museum, then Carthage for about an hour, then a long unhurried block in Sidi Bou Said. La Marsa, the seaside suburb just beyond Sidi Bou Said, is thrown in at no charge. The driver-host speaks French, English, Italian, German and Arabic and gives practical and historical orientation at each stop rather than a formal guided commentary.
The price works differently here too: it is quoted per person and falls as the group grows, so four people pay considerably less each than two. Entry tickets are included only for participants aged ten and under — everyone else pays roughly €4.50 per site at the gate, which is worth budgeting for.

What Travelers Say
Rated 4.9/5 by 112 verified GetYourGuide travelers.
A really great trip. The organizing company was very helpful at every step, as was the driver. I recommend them to everyone!
— Radoslaw, Septemb
We had a pleasant day with Habib, who took great care of us. He explained a lot of things about Tunisia. I recommend him.
— Lecas, Septemb
We had an unforgettably beautiful day, with many impressions and experiences about Tunisia, with the culture, the people, and the exciting narration by our great driver Ouissam. Everything worked out sensationally from the beginning to the end. We can wholeheartedly recommend this tour to everyone.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is the price per person so low for a private tour?
Because it scales with the group. The listing prices per person and the rate drops as more people share the vehicle, so the headline figure is what a larger party pays each. A couple will pay more per head than four travellers will.
Are entry tickets included?
Only for children aged ten and under. Adults pay at the gate — the operator quotes about €4.50 per person per site, and a single Carthage ticket covers the whole archaeological area.
Is there a guide?
There is a multilingual driver-host who gives practical and historical orientation at each stop, not a licensed guide leading a formal tour. If you want an accredited guide walking Carthage with you, book a tour that lists one under inclusions.
What is the La Marsa stop?
La Marsa is the seaside suburb immediately past Sidi Bou Said — a long corniche, cafés and a beach that is more local than touristic. The operator includes it at no extra cost, and it is a genuinely pleasant way to end the day.
Can this pick up from a cruise ship?
Yes — the listing includes port pickup among its collection points, which makes it one of the few private options here open to cruise passengers.
