Things to do in Tunis, Tunis Governorate: The Best Tours
Founded by the Berbers in the 2nd millennium BCE, the city of Tunis has been controlled by Phoenicians, Romans, Arab Muslims, the Ottomans, the Spanish, the French and the Germans, finally achieving independence as the capital of Tunisia in 1956. This history has made Tunis a mélange of ancient and modern cultures. The medina is a network of narrow alleyways, mosques, mausoleums, palaces and a souq where shoppers haggle over the price of everything from filigreed gold to inexpensive souvenirs.

This place is so serene, so beautiful, so worth a visit. I fell in love with this place the minute we arrived and I had the bombolini. You must try the donuts. The art pieces are really nice here, also. The flowers have a deep color hue. The white walls all over. It is just a must see location. If you have time spend a full day here.

Our guide, Nourri, was fantastic. We were picked up at our hotel and he reviewed the itinerary for the day to make sure it met our expectations before we left. Nouri was extremely knowledgeable, like a history professor, and helped us to appreciate the rise of the Phoenicians prior to Rome’s rule. We started in Kairoouoam, which included a stop at a historical site and and a Mosque that included the tomb of a very important figure of the Islamic religion. Nourri also explained how the Maribou, or village elders were honored and respected. Normally this stop would also include a visit to a rug merchant but we were not interested so we skipped that. The last stop in El Djem, site of the third largest Colosseum, was breathtaking and well worth the 2 hour drive from Tunis. We had lunch at a little cafe overlooking the entrance to the Colosseum, which was owned by a jolly man who saved money by selling postcards so he could eventually buy his own restaurant. He was a really fun man with a bright smile. With 23 years experience, Nouri helped us to appreciate a LOT of the history of the area which really brought the experience to life! If the City of Tunis is a little overwhelming for you, than would highly recommend getting out into the countryside where we felt very safe and welcomed.

The tour was amazing! We enjoyed the Medina in Tunis, walked around the market, had coffee in a traditional place and ate at a wonderful traditional place, recommended by the guide. Carthage was also exceptional with amazing roman ruins that we enjoyed and Sidi Bousaid was just magi. White houses with blue windows and particular decorations, friendly people, amazing coffee and stunning views of the city. Definitely recommended! The guide was very friendly, helpful and brought us to the nicest places. Don’t miss it!!
