What to expect

Like shimmering mirages on the desert horizon, Sousse, Port El Kantaoui and Monastir are a trio of Tunisia's must-sees. Explore ancient fortresses, atmospheric medinas and the magnificent Bourguiba Mausoleum on this full day tour.

Your first stop is Monastir. Bring the past to life and admire ancient architecture in the old quarter, before seeing the intricate minarets, mosaics and archways beneath the golden dome of Bourguiba Mausoleum. The city's star turn however, is the Ribat Fortress – an early Islamic stronghold that has guarded the waterfront for over a thousand years.

Next up is Sousse, a city where history is etched into every cobblestone. Wander through the bustling medina, a treasure trove of trinkets and handicraft, then make your way to the contemporary marina of Port El Kantaoui. Here, you'll round off the tour with some free time to meander among the luxury yachts dotting the harbour.

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.

Tunisian Sahara two-day tour of Hollywood film hotspots

Imagine a place where the sands of the desert have been touched by the magic of Hollywood stardust. You've found it with this two-day tour, which'll show you some of Tunisia's most famous film locations. You'll visit a Roman amphitheatre, explore underground cave homes, cross a vast salt lake and discover a legendary film set on the fringes of the Sahara. Hamdi, one of our expert local guides, says, ‘Between Matmata and Douz, there are endless "ergs" – sand dunes – in the restless desert. This desert is not a dead entity, it's even cultivated in places by those who inhabit it. The sands come alive according to the seasons.'Embark on your sandy adventure at El Djem Amphitheatre. One of the best-preserved Roman arenas in the world, this UNESCO World Heritage Site was featured in Gladiator and once held crowds of 35,000 spectators for gladiatorial contests. You'll then head to Matmata, where you'll have lunch and visit the underground cave homes that starred as Luke Skywalker's home in the Star Wars saga. Finish the day in the oasis town of Douz, known as the gateway to the Sahara, for an overnight stay. This is a great spot to take an optional camel or carriage ride in the desert.After breakfast, you'll cross Chott el Jerid, Tunisia's largest salt lake, where shimmering white salt crystals create a surreal landscape. Then, jump into a 4x4 for a ride to Onk Jemal, where you'll discover the Star Wars film set city still standing among the desert dunes. After lunch in Gafsa, you'll round off the tour with a photo stop overlooking Kairouan's Great Mosque, where you can admire the distinctive skyline of one of Islam's holiest cities.
