Lifelong dream come true, epic tour! - This was the absolute best trip I've ever experienced! From the moment we met our guide and driver to making new friends with the others on the tour, everything was incredible. We had a ton of fun driving through the desert and stopping to see epic historical places. Our guide was one of the friendliest people I've ever met and nothing was ever forced on us, and both our guide and driver went above and beyond to make this an unforgettable experience. If you're open minded and friendly, they will make sure you have the most memorable trip of your life. Some of the highlights for me were quad biking, camel riding, exploring the oasis towns, learning about Tunisian culture and history, visiting the colosseum, and especially sitting around a fire in the Sahara desert with my new friends. One detail that really stood out was how everything was catered to us. I was very surprised that camping in the Sahara was even an option, and we obviously chose that over staying in a hotel. What made it even better was that each family had their own private tent. In conclusion, this tour was worth far more than what we paid. I would 100% recommend it to anyone thinking about visiting the Sahara.

Super tour, useless guide - The bus rides are strenuous and long but at least you travel most of Tunisia. The bus was not very comfortable (buckles poke in the bottom and the climate did not work properly). Furthermore, due to a defect, we stood for 3 hours at a gas station. The jeeps were better, but also only air circulation through open windows. The quads are also not in good condition, but all this was fine as we knew what country we were in and what to expect. Therefore not a bad review here, just as information. All the restaurants (bus driver, quad guide, Bedouin, oasis guide, food service...) were very friendly and did their best to make our excursions as attractive as possible. Now for the most unpleasant and worst part of the tour: Our guide was very uninterested in teaching us information about country and people. Only on request was we bored explained what the next stop is. However, this could hardly be understood because the microphone on the bus did not work. We were simply told nothing on the hour-long drive. Even if we got off the bus it was only said how long you have to take photos, Our guide then always went into a coffee and waited until we got back on the bus. So for the tour itself there are 5 stars. The guide was completely redundant, the bus driver would have been enough for us.

Unforgettable experience - Booked this tour expecting a group excursion however was Surprised it was only the two of us with our guide Ali. A very unique and VIP experience! Ali was an amazing tour guide, very knowledgeable and full of expertise. The night in the Sahara and Amphitheater were the highlights!!!

100% recommend the Sahara tour! - Absolutely loved the tour, our guide Kamel was extremely kind and knowledgable - told us so many lovely stories and facts about each site we visited. He also provided the tour in 5 languages on the day! Really impressive. The itinerary was as described, the highlights were watching the sunset in the Sahara desert and enjoying a meal under the stars. All of the food provided throughout the trip was delicious. The quad and camel rides were also very enjoyable (these will be charged extra as described in the tour details). Visiting a traditional Berber village was really lovely too. The hotel we stayed at was nice and clean, with a great breakfast the next morning - please bear in mind that you won’t be at the hotel for long, just to sleep and have breakfast the next morning. If you want to watch the sunrise on the second day then you will need to wake up very early! You will watch a beautiful desert sunset on day one but catching the sunrise the following morning is also very special. The only downside is the long journeys on the minibus, but there is no way around that as there is a large distance to cover (a sufficient number of stops are provided for coffee/toilet breaks) - ensure to bring a book or download a show to watch on your phone, you could also simply nap on the minibus during the long stretches. All-in-all, although the tour is quite tiring and covers many areas, it is 100% worth it. We are happy that we were able to visit so many beautiful parts of Tunisia and to meet lovely people. Thank you to everyone at Caravane du Sahara.

I'm just about to process the wonderful experiences..Caravane du Sahara manages to make in 2 days ,145 kilometers drive the most beautiful places of South and Western Tunisia not only highly professional and safe/ I am a single traveling woman/ ,but also magical and individual/ every wish was fulfilled/! I would like to thank Ali / Pre-treat via Whatsapp / all riders and especially Kamel, our tour guide!! A special host with a knowledge and love to Tunisia what made our trip special! Sukra and I are coming back Insallah!

The unforgettable Sahara, with its treasures (in just 2 days) - This visit to the Sahara is unforgettable. A rewarding life experience, getting to know the Berber people and the Bedouins, in the middle of the desert, is what much loved. Our visit had good and bad moves. I went with my son, a young adult. The pickup from our hotel in Hammamet was appreciated. We did not have a concrete plan of activities for each day, it would be desirable to have a review of the activities of the day at the beginning, to be better prepared, because the days are plain and we have to manage our energy resources well. The first day was great. The trip on the highway was good, with stops often, to breathe and take fresh water. The amphitheatre D'el Jem, much better preserved than the one in Rome, took our breath away. We had time to go around and buy a lemonade and coffee. The stop in Matmata was a disappointment for me personally. I would have liked more the simple decor, without the plastic and the 'kitsch' additions. The meal was good, not excellent (a brick, couscous and watermelon). My favorite was, no doubt, the visit to the Berbers of Tamazret. Their simple and peaceful life, their calm and old habits, which are very similar to those of my ancestors, miles away and unrelated, have been for me the image of paradise. We served tea with the family and had time to talk. I give this experience five stars. We continued afterwards with our stop and break in Douz, in a hotel. The pool water was green, so we took the shower next to the pool and relaxed for a while. We left the hotel to go to the desert, for the camel ride at sunset. The camels seemed higher:), but, I survived well. Very different from the city in a metropolis, this experience brings us closer to the sky, nature, plants, animals and, not lastly, humans. All our guides knew French, so the conversation was easy, even with the owner of the camels, the Berbers or the Bedouins (some Bedouins, on the other hand, were more proficient in English). At the suggestion of our guide, we chose to sleep in a tent in the desert, and it was beautiful. The dinner was excellent, with Tunisian salad, couscous and watermelon. The starry sky was beautiful. The many beetles all around us frightened us at first. But with the fatigue of the day, we fell asleep quickly. We put our luggage in our beds and it reduced our sleeping space. A small chair next door will be a great idea. The second day started at 4:00. No water for our grooming, except what we brought in bottles bought on the road. But we were promised access to water on the way. Still no explanation of the day, which left us helpless. We started with a visit to a heat exchanger for the borehole water that feeds a beautiful palm oasis. I took the opportunity to use that water to wash. However, my friends have been reluctant to do so. I was relieved to be able to wash after the heat we endured in the desert in July. We continued with the beautiful oasis and the souk of Chebika. We changed our guide because of local regulations, but we were very disappointed with the local guide, who wanted to get rid of us as quickly as possible. The places are by far the most impressive of the whole visit and we raced them. That's a shame. We continued with the great salt lake, Chot El Jerid, which was almost dry, but we saw the accumulations of salt on the surface of the earth. A short stop was beneficial to us, to move a little and to buy souvenirs. We continued with the Tamaghza oasis, which did not touch us. It is true that we come from Canada, the land of Niagara Falls, and the small stream that forms a kind of falls was less appreciated by our group. The water was green, I think, because of the algae. We only admired the scenery to give us more time during dinner. The dinner, a few minutes from the falls, on the terrace of a small local restaurant, was delicious. Then we went on the road, for long hours. A stop in Kairouan, considered the fourth holiest city in Islam (after Mecca, Medina and Jerusalem), even without visiting the mosque, was a good idea. I bought a beautiful local watercolor painting and got lost in the local market, to buy hot bread at 1 dinar, bread that was excellent. Afterwards, I remember only long and painful hours on the road, in extreme heat, in the jeep that could no longer air condition. It was desirable to have stops every 1h30, as the road was difficult. Our stops were every 2-3 hours, which made the road difficult to bear, in the jeep. This is the least loved part of the tour. We arrived at our hotel around 6:30 pm, after 1240 km, done in 2 days. Ali, our guide, gave us a lot of information, very relevant and very appreciated. He guided us well and also told us about his experience as a Bedouin. Apart a good plan every morning, which we missed, the visit was excellent. Thank you, Ali, we have great memories! A little word about our new friends who did the activity with us. They were great, two young Greeks (a young family), very nice. We had a great time with them, we communicated well and the event was a success also thanks to them. In conclusion, I highly recommend this 2-day tour of the Sahara, which will change your view of the world. Be open for an unforgettable experience, but considerable effort on the road. Pleasure, Camélia

I would do it again! - The tour was really nice. My personal highlight was definitely riding the camel. Always wanted to do it & it was worth it. Also, I really enjoyed the dinner in the Sahara. That was absolutely special! Overall, you see a lot in a short time - 3 out of 4 Sahars, several Star Wars locations, you take a Cheep ride, see a beautiful waterfall, see the El Jem amphitheatre, eat dinner in the Sahara and see like the local life. The hotel we stayed in was ok. Nothing special but at the price no wonder. Be sure to take something to drink and snacks + maybe download a series... Just the return journey was very long, because you drive it almost completely (6h). Ali was very personable and open. Besides, he had a lot of background knowledge. Overall, we would recommend the ride.

Absolutely unprofessional Caravane du Sahara - Absolutely disappointing performed by Caravan du Sahara! We are totally incomprehensible how this company (purchased) good reviews? Absolutely unprofessional execution of the 2 day Sahara tour. At first, the guests had to drive from,Hammamet 1 hour to Sousse to pick up guests there. Then on the first evening the guests who had booked a hotel were simply taken to a private house, there was no heating, only cold water and it was slept on the floor on mattresses. The other participants slept at the desert camp. The staff there were very friendly and helpful. On the 2nd day the time organization was so chaotic that they drove to Dousse right after lunch (9 hrs on the bus) Kairouan was simply cancelled without any writere explanation! Dan the guests were brought back from Sousse (which were picked up last) ... Then further back to Hammamet we arrived at 23:30, all 8 guests missed dinner at the hotel. The chaotic timing was NOT due to traffic jams or unforeseen causes but EXCLUSIVELY to the Bad Organization of Caravan du Sahara. There was no answer to my What's app regarding refund or feedback as the tour was not done as booked. I advise everyone to book from there.

To flee, it's a long time but please for your wallet read it will avoid the worst and you will save money - Then nothing goes with them, the guide does not translate, he does not speak any language quoted in their descriptions. He charges us the entrance to the Coliseum in El Jem that is 10 dinars per person saying that they will refund us once we arrive in Douz except that we have had no refund. In the desert there is no animation, it's just tents, have nothing with what's in the description. If the sun is already set when you arrive don't go there it's a scam. For the quad and the camel 🐫, in the description it is well noted that it is extra and that it is 10€ / person on the camel and 30€ on the quad except that arrived on the spot it doubles the price it was a horror. They tell you 1 hour of quad but you'll make that 15min mdr a scam their thing don't go they'll get you money and then take a commission from the seller. To finish the waterfall it's a joke you can't swim, the guide is too rushed and it's done in 5 min - 10 min max. It has nothing to do with the waterfall described on their page, nothing matches the images. A council took the excursion with the agency of your hotel or with your travel agency. You will have a real guide and you will do the activities as described. The only positive was our driver who was too kind and very protective. Thank you, sir, if you ever pass by. He's a tall, old man with a beard and gray hair. He is the only one who speaks fluent French because he lived in Paris. The others are useless and are very vicious and dishonest.
