What to expect

Prepare for an adventure that takes in Tunisia's Roman roots and pirate past. You'll visit an amphitheatre to rival that of Rome with a tour of El Jem – an ancient colosseum where gladiator games once took place. Then, take to the waves for a swashbuckling afternoon at sea that includes swim stops, lunch and snacks aboard a replica pirate galley.

This UNESCO World-Heritage site of El Jem is soaked in history. You'll be captivated by its stone-cut walls, fine-tuned archways and three-floor facade, a testament of glory to what was the Roman Empire. Take a seat in the age-old stadium and admire the arena below, just like they did in times gone by.

Then, we'll cast off from Monastir harbour into the Mediterranean, just as the Barbary pirates did for centuries. But while they struck fear into European coastal communities as far afield as Iceland, we'll be going out to have wholehearted fun. There'll be stops to dive into the sea for swimming and plenty of time to dry off on-board while chillin' with water drinks and munching on snacks.

Full-day Carthage ruins and Sidi Bou Said tour from Hammamet

Swap the beach and lounger for a day in the world of legends, political power struggles and ancient rivalries as you travel through the heart of Tunisia's historic north coast. After being picked up from your hotel, you'll head straight to the ancient ruins of Carthage, where mighty generals, Roman emperors and Phoenician traders once shaped the Mediterranean world. As local guide Sami, puts it, “Carthage is much more than a ruin – every stone here tells the story of empires, ambition and survival.” As you look around the Baths of Antoninus, the amphitheatre and the mysterious Tophet, your expert guide will share centuries-old stories of the region. Top of that pile is the tale about legendary leader of Carthage, Hannibal, who crossed the Alps with a fleet of war elephants to invade Rome. These scattered ruins come with incredible sea views, so take time to pause and look out to the Mediterranean over the stone courtyards and tumble-down columns. After exploring the ancient ruins of Carthage, settle in for a relaxed local lunch before continuing to Sidi Bou Said. Perched high above the Bay of Tunis, this clifftop village is famous for its bright whitewashed walls, cobalt-blue shutters and laidback café culture. Use your free time here to lose yourself in winding streets lined with bougainvillea, browse artisan shops or sip mint tea while overlooking the sparkling coastline. From the ruins of ancient Carthage to a 20th-century, insta-friendly village, this tour beautifully shows off Tunisia's balance of old and new.
