A must for history lovers - We had a fantastic day out visiting Testour, Dougga and Bella Regia. We immensely enjoyed exploring the Roman sites with our guide Faouzi who took us to visit all the key areas. Faouzi was knowledgeable and thorough and we appreciated his calm and unflustered approach throughout the day. We would highly recommend this day trip to all who enjoy visiting historic sites as these are some of the best preserved Roman sites anywhere. We would also like to give a special mention to our driver Rabir who had to travel over 200km there and back which he did swiftly and safely.

Incredible Private Tour – A Must-Do in Tunisia! - We had an absolutely fantastic experience on the Private Day Trip to Testour, Dougga, and Bulla Regia from Hammamet with Didon Tours. Booking this tour before our trip was incredibly easy and flawless, which gave us peace of mind knowing everything was set up in advance.
From start to finish, everything was seamless. Our guide and driver were punctual, arriving well before the scheduled time, which we always appreciate.
This is a long day tour, but thanks to our guide and driver, it never felt exhausting. They were both incredibly knowledgeable, engaging, and fun to be around, making the journey just as enjoyable as the destinations.
The sites themselves were the highlight of our entire trip. Dougga, a UNESCO World Heritage site, was breathtaking with its incredibly well-preserved Roman ruins, and we were amazed at how few tourists were there. Bulla Regia was fascinating, with its unique underground Roman villas—unlike anything we’ve seen before. Testour was a charming stop, and learning about its Andalusian heritage added another layer of depth to our day. These sites should not be overlooked—if you’re in Tunisia, they are absolutely worth the visit!
We also appreciated that our guide and driver accommodated our preference to grab lunch on the go rather than spending time at a sit-down restaurant. They recommended Pizzeria Hamhama, a small local spot, and we all had shawarma sandwiches Chaux—easily the best meal of our entire two-week trip!
If you’re considering this tour or Didon Tours, don’t hesitate—it's worth every minute. I wish I booked our other tours with them. We highly recommend Didon Tours for their professionalism, expertise, and the unforgettable experience they provided.

A Memorable Tour of Dougga and Bulla Regia – Big Thanks to the Agency! - This was my third excursion with this agency, and once again, I was not disappointed! The Dougga and Bulla Regia tour was amazing. These ancient sites are simply stunning. Dougga, with its well-preserved ruins, including the theater and temples, really immerses you in Roman history. Bulla Regia, with its underground houses, offers a unique and surprising experience.
As always, the guide was professional and passionate, making every visit fascinating by sharing captivating stories. The driver also ensured a comfortable and punctual ride.
The organization of this excursion was flawless, with a perfect balance of sightseeing and relaxation. If you're looking for an enriching historical experience, I highly recommend this tour. And if you’ve already done other tours with this agency, you’ll be equally impressed!

Roman ruin cities of Dougga and Bella Regia. - The trip to the Roman sites at Bulla Regina and Dougga were first class.
I got picked up at my hotel and we made our way to Tunis to pick up my guide for the day.
I must say the taxi driver didn’t believe in hanging about as he sped to Tunis.
At Bulla Regia the guide and I walked all over this huge site and his knowledge of the place was incredible, there was a distinct lack of visitors to this site which suite me as I was able to take as many photos as I wanted without tourists walking about. The guide mentioned the fact that the site was so far away from tourist spots that hindered people visiting.
We then drove to the Dougga site which was even more incredible.
I have never seen anything like that in my life, having been in the construction business nearly all my life I was absolutely stunned by the beauty and complexity of the buildings here.
I have thought about the amount of work the architects and builders put into this and all I can say is I wish we had that level of work ethic here in this day.
The detail of work in the mosaics there are unbelievable, the artistry is incredible.
Please if you ever visit this friendly country please take time out to visit these two sites.

Day Trip to Dougga and Bula Regia - Faime was a superb guide. He was professional, and extremely good at communicating the history of these beautiful sites. It would be a great shame to visit Tunisia and not go to both Dougga and Bula Regia. Both are of great historical significance and so well preserved. This trip is also worth it in terms of the variation in the topography and the agriculture. Highly recommend both our guide and the trip.

History's Finest - Wonderful Day. Pit stop in Testour for photos and pomegranate juice. Followed by the wonderful Dougga - roman ruins at their best. The wonderful Venus Temple and well preserved Roman theatre are among the best of a stunning site. Then a drive over the mountain to Bulla Regia - another super site. Very different and a little overgrown, which makes it even more surprising to discover scenic well preserved mosaic floors in underground homes: the Huntsman House, the Fishing Lodge and House of Amphitrite, to name three! After our trip - a much needed lunch at the museum entrance cafe - hot heart soup, salad and grilled turkey ! Then travel back to hotel via a surprise stop to Tunis Medina and a perfumerie. Wonderful Day and wonderful guide. Thank you.

Great guide with Dougga and Bulla Regia. - Our guide was great. With the rain coming , he was focused to make sure we got to see everything expected about the tour before the rain poured. He is very knowledgeable , was so helpful with my friend who had walking issues plus he has a great sense of humor. I was so impressed with Dougga and Bulla Regia because they bring something different compared to other roman antiquities as emphasized by our guide.

Wonderful tour and tour guide - Fantastic private tour with Boubou, who was full of energy and knowledge. Boubou is very passionate about her country and gave some top tips for food along the journey, as well as recommendations for the rest of the trip. The actual tour was great, with lots of information and plenty of time for photo ops. Thanks also to our driver Osama, who also had lots of knowledge of the area.
