Yeah, good! - Very good half day with Alaa as guide. Perfect transfer from Hammamet with Alaa at the wheel who does not hesitate to describe Tunisia (economy, politics, culture, ...). The Colosseum of El Jem is superb as well as its museum on antiquity with many mosaics to discover.

A Wonderful Morning Out - Alaa was a fantastic guide. He was passionate and knowledgeable and a great DJ :) The tour was nice and relaxed, paced well with no dead time but also no rushing about. I would recommend the morning slot in the summer months as it gets really hot. The amphitheatre and museum are amazing, really interesting and stunningly beautiful. The mosaics in the museum are mind-blowing in their creation and intricacy not forgetting they are around 2000 years old. A very worthwhile trip

Very good excursion - Dear Ladies and Gentlemen, good and interesting trip to a relatively well preserved Colosseum in El Djem. Much better and more personal than on a big bus.

Tunisian delight - We took a private tour of the amphitheatre and roman museum in El Jem by Alaa and his driver. The tour started and ended at our hotel. It was a great experience to explore the amazing amphitheatre, and then we moved on to see the beautiful mosaic floors at the museum. Both locations were quiet, just a few tourists. This is an experience worth taking, and paying extra for the private tour. Alaa was very informative throughout the tour, and gave us some personal time to explore. The amphitheatre is definitely a Tunisian delight.

Coliseum of el Jem - The El Jem amphitheater, located in Tunisia, is a 3rd-century Roman monument capable of accommodating approximately 30,000 spectators. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, it is one of the largest and best-preserved in the world. Formerly used for spectacles such as gladiatorial combat, it is now a major tourist attraction.

Highly recommend! - Highly recommend this trip! We had Alaa as our tour guide and he was really superb! It is our first time in Tunisia and he gave us lots of useful information about the area. He was also very knowledgeable about the history and we benefited greatly from his tour around the amphitheater and museum. Absolutely loved it! Really appreciated the well preserved Roman mosaics in the museum and ruins of the house and surrounding buildings! Thank you Alaa - we had a wonderful afternoon with you! Kim & Aaron :)

Interesting structure still as a ruin - Amphitheater is worth seeing. However, travel individually. Group experiences are hardly suitable for individualists and, at best, for tourists who cannot or do not want to do it any other way.
