What to expect

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.
