A long 2 days but worth every penny!! - A lot of time spent on the coach, but plenty of comfort stops (toilets , especially ladies, are ok but not the best) & 2 early morning starts, but totally necessary to cover the 700+ mile trip. Camel trip is an additional cost (about £10) but well worth doing to spend an hour in the Sahara on a camel!! Guides walk along side a caravan of 3or4 camels keeping everyone safe. Although pushed to purchase head scarves they are not necessary! Overnight hotel was lovely & in Tunisian style. Included 4x4 land rover trip to Star Wars theme set brilliant whether you like the film or not. All food was of a decent quality although drinks not included (approx £1-£1.50 for "coke," or beer). Only slight disappointment was the supposed trip to the mosque in the "holy city"as the impression from the tour information was that a visit to it was included. Actually it's always closed to tourists in the afternoon ( when the tour gets there!!) & you get taken to the roof of a gift shop/carpet factory to view the minorette & then taken to downstairs where they'd like you to buy a carpet!! On a positive side, the gift shop has the cheapest souvenirs I had seen anywhere!! All in all, as that was the only negative point the trip is one of the best I've been on.

Great trip, but read 1st. - Booked this trip through our hotel rep. We had Tui people on our trip, but not 100% sure that this is the actual trip we did, although content is the same. This is a brilliant trip and a great way to experience the real Tunisia and see the North and South, but please be aware that a LOT of the trip is spent sitting on the bus. On the 1st day i would say we spent about 6 1/2 hours on the bus and on the second day we were in bus / jeep for over 8 hours. We had a maximum drive between stops of just over 2 hours. There is no toilet on the bus so there is a fine line between keeping hydrated and drinking too much. (Depending on your bladder control) At some places the toilets were not fit for female use. Dirty / no seats. At star wars village the toilets had to be paid for. (1 dinar each) Take plenty of water and snacks with you as all drinks are chargeable. We felt that 1 hour at El Jem was not enough time and we didn't get to see it all. I was pleasantly surprised that we were not pestered by anyone for tips etc. They were there but not too pushy, which is a refreshing change. The quads / camels / cart rides are an extra charge, but do really add to the experience. (I own my own quad and was surprised how much fun it was in the dunes) The overnight stay has tasty food and a comfy room. Both days start early to get everything fitted in. On the bus at 6.30am 1st day (got to overnight hotel at 6.00pm) and on the bus at 5.30am 2nd day. (Back to main hotel at 7.30pm) Short stop to see sunrise at the salt lake was a good photo opportunity, but cold. 4x4 jeep ride to star wars village was good, going up and down sand dunes was fun. Star Wars village was nothing special but it is interesting to see if you are interested in the film. Lots of stalls to buy souvenir rocks / salt / jewellery etc. The horse and cart ride was a short journey to a local allotment where we were shown local plants and given the opportunity to taste and buy dates. Maybe it is my lack of knowledge, but I thought an oasis was a small quaint group of trees with a watering hole, (like in the films) rather than a large village in a moisture rich area in the middle of the desert. Great experience not to be missed if you take on board the above and take summer and warm clothes if you go in December.

Don't Miss Out... Book This Tour!! - Aida, Saleh & the other staff involved were all fantastic people. They took us to the most scenic, beautiful & famous spots. Aida is extremely knowledgeable, very smart & an impressive linguist who speaks multiple languages. Saleh is a skilled driver & fun comedian :)! We always felt safe on the roads. The Team knew exactly where to go & what to do, we were kept very well informed about times, locations, distance, prices, etc, which was really helpful. Get some rest the night before you leave because these 2 days are packed full with activities & travelling from early morning to early evening. It's an adventure not to be missed. Happy New Year Team & Thank you so much. Xxx

Thank you Mohammed for a perfect trip to the Sahara - Lovely trip! Mohammed was an excellent tour guide. He was very kind and knowledgeable. Thank you Mohammed for making the trip perfect!

Fun experience - Loved Mohammed! Fantastic guide and made the journey amazing! Camel ride was amazing with the sunset ! Highly recommend

Great trip through Tunisia - Experience was wonderful - guide was very friendly and knowledgable. The cities and towns we stopped in were amazing. Really enjoyed quad riding, camel riding, and off-roading.

Fantastic tour! - Fantastic tour! It was very well organised, and both Mohamed (our guide) and Monsef (our driver) were lovely. We got to see much more than the description says, including sunset and sunrise in the desert and wonderful views. Always good to have some extra cash for tips, toilets, drinks and snacks. Thank you TUI!

Sahara tour tunisia - Pleasant experience, at times the drive was long, especially the second day. Made stops along the way but was a very long day. Very early morning. Great guide and driver.

Go for it! But expect early wake ups and lots of driving! - Great trip and this will be very memorable! Of course theres always negatives, it felt very rushed but what can you expect in just 2 days?! Go for more days if you can afford it. You are on the coach for 1200km which is about 12 hours a day. Camels and quad bike are not included, I wish I were told this beforehand, cost us 140 dinar for two of us but it is worth it! If you’re experienced with quads like myself then slow down, stay back then catch up to have fun. Otherwise it can be boring and slow. Be prepared to be woken up at 3.30am the second day. And also be prepared to take plenty of cash for drinks, snacks ect. Sahara hotel is fancy! Good food! Head coverups are 12 dinar each You have to pay to use toilets in star wars area Food at star wars area was a plate shared between 4 people, i’d rather have my own plate Thankyou! Trip ended with a sales pitch about rugs😂 Do not get in the back of the jeep if your tall lol I made this mistake. Take ear plugs, neck cushion and plenty of drinks

Waste of time and money - If you are looking to visit all of the tourist traps in Tunisia, book this trip. Basically the excursion consists of being driven around and taken to tourist trap destinations, shops, and restaurants across southern Tunisia while giving you as little context as possible. From the very pickup the guide starts advertising ways for you to spend money. The prices are usually 10x what it SHOULD cost for tourists, and quality is always questionable. For example: we were given some time at El Jem, but then the guide took us to the coffee shop right outside and advertised camel rides. Camel rides were ok (as expected, very tourist-centric), but you might as well find a camel somewhere on the beach and ride it - no need to go to Sahara. You also don’t need to have a turban…another expense that wasn’t mentioned in description. Kairouan is known for mosques, but we didn’t go into one—instead we were taken to a rug shop and a pastry shop to buy what seemed like machine made rugs and stale pastry. Some people decided to check out the mosque, and were promptly kicked out because visitors are not allowed after noon. We also only had about 5 minutes to marvel at sunrise at the salt lake…which was my personal favorite place. Sahara 4x4 ride was fun, but the guide was always rushing us back to the bus. Guide’s whole demeanor was that we should never leave the premises where he took us—maybe to avoid us finding out that water or coffee should never cost 14 dinars or god forbid interact with real locals or taste anything flavorful. Restaurants along the way all had food devoid of flavor—definitely not authentic Tunisian—the worst of Tunisia. Hotel overnight had mold and more tasteless food. Overall, this booking was a waste of your time and money. Also, pretty much double the cost of this trip because you will have to pay that much for unexpected things along the way that cost 10x as much as they should everywhere else.
