Get the Tunisia planning guide

It is free, and it asks for an email address and nothing else. It covers safety in plain terms, when to go, what it costs, getting there from the United States and one sample itinerary.


What the price covers

The same list on five of the six, taken from our own cost sheets. Tunisia's Mediterranean Treasures has a sheet of its own, which lists airport transfers, hotels, baggage handling, transportation as indicated, entrance fees to all sites, all meals and all taxes. What is not included on the others is two items long, and that is the whole of it.

Included

  • Airport transfers
  • Hotels
  • Baggage handling
  • Transportation as indicated
  • English speaking guide
  • Entrance fees to all sites
  • All meals, including a welcome dinner at a fine restaurant
  • All taxes

A 4x4 excursion is also included on four of the five.

Not included

  • Tips
  • Drinks

That is the entire list, as our own cost sheets state it. If anything else matters to you, ask on the call and we will put the answer in writing.


How it works

  1. 01

    A twenty minute call

    We talk about your dates, your pace, how much driving you want in a day and what the budget is. Nothing is written until after that conversation, because an itinerary built without it is a guess.

  2. 02

    A proposal within 48 hours

    A day by day itinerary with the hotels named, the driving stated, the included meals marked, and a firm price per person. If it is not right, we change it and send it again.

  3. 03

    A deposit holds your dates

    Hotels and guides are reserved against your dates once a deposit is in. Nothing is held before that and we will not ask you to decide on the call.

  4. 04

    You travel, and we are on the line

    Your guide meets you at the airport. The same team in Tunisia is reachable 24 hours a day for the length of the journey, and the planning number in the United States stays open too.


Or design your own

The six programmes are where most travellers start, and most of them change something. You can start from the other end instead: 54 places across 9 regions, 17 of them somewhere you can sleep, your own nights in each, and an estimate that moves as you build.

How we run your journey

A Tunisian company with its own team

We are an operator in Tunisia, not an agency reselling someone else's departure. The guides, the drivers and the vehicles are ours, and the planning is done with you in the United States before any of it is booked.

Your own guide, driver and vehicle

The same guide and the same driver for the whole journey, not a different face at every stop. Your guide speaks English, the entrance fees to every site are already paid, and the day is yours to change as you go.

A line that is open while you travel

Our team in Tunisia is reachable 24 hours a day for the length of the journey, and the United States number stays open for anything to do with the plan or the money.


Two expeditions in 2027

2 August 2027

The total solar eclipse

The path of totality crosses Sfax and the Kerkennah Islands, not Tunis or Sousse, which lie outside it. At Sfax the Moon covers the Sun completely for more than five and a half minutes. Where you are based that week decides whether you stand in it.

Published clock times for the day disagree between sources, and Tunisia keeps Central European Time all year, so we work from NASA's.

We confirm availability on the call.

Fifty years of Star Wars, 2027

The first film opened on 25 May 1977, which makes 2027 its fiftieth year, and Tatooine was Tunisia. The Mos Espa set still stands in the desert outside Tozeur. Matmata, Ksar Haddada and the salt flats of the Chott el Jerid all appear in the films, and Matmata and Ksar Haddada are places people still live rather than sets built for a camera.


Before you decide

Written by us, sourced, and dated. Read them before you talk to anyone, including us.

  • Is Tunisia safe for Americans?

    What the US State Department travel advisory actually says, which areas its highest level covers, and which of our stops our own measurements put inside one.

  • The best time to visit Tunisia, month by month

    Temperatures north and south in Fahrenheit, what the desert does in July and August, and why the best months differ from one of our programmes to the next.

  • What a private trip to Tunisia costs

    Our own published prices for seven to twelve days, exactly what each one includes, and how the figure moves with the length of the journey and the size of your party.

Questions we are asked

How much does a private trip to Tunisia cost?
Our private programmes run from $1,950 a person for 7 days to $3,690 for 12, double occupancy. A traveller taking a double room alone pays a supplement of 75 dollars a night, which is $450 on the 7 day programme and $825 on the 12 day one. Those are the prices in our own programme documents rather than an estimate.
What is included in the price?
Every journey includes airport transfers, hotels, baggage handling, transportation as indicated, entrance fees to all sites, all meals and all taxes. Five of the six also include an English speaking guide and a welcome dinner at a fine restaurant, and four of them a 4x4 excursion. On those five, tips and drinks are the only two things not included.
How many days do I need in Tunisia?
Seven days covers Carthage, the Bardo, Dougga, Kairouan and the coast. Ten adds the mountain oases and a night in the Sahara past the end of the tarmac. Eleven adds Djerba. Twelve is the coast at a lighter pace. Below seven days the driving starts to own the trip.
When is the best time to go?
It depends on the journey, because the desert and the coast are different trips in summer. The seven and twelve day programmes run best March to June and September to November. The eight, ten and eleven day programmes run best March to May and September to November. The ones that reach Tozeur leave June out: the Institut National de la Météorologie records an average daytime high there of 98.1F (36.7C) in June and 103.1F (39.5C) in July. If you ask for a desert day in midsummer we will tell you what that is actually like before we price it, and each journey page gives its months and the figures behind them.
Is the journey genuinely private?
Yes. Your own guide, your own driver, your own vehicle and your own dates, with no other travellers joining. The same guide and the same driver stay with you for the whole journey, and the day is yours to change as you go.
Is Tunisia safe for American travellers?
The United States government publishes a travel advisory for Tunisia, with a level for the country and separate warnings for specific areas, usually near the Libyan and Algerian borders. Read it at travel.state.gov, because the level and the areas named change and a summary on a tour company's page goes stale. Tell us what you read and we will tell you exactly where your route goes.
What happens after I send the form?
We reply within one business day, US Eastern time. The first reply is a real one from the team that will run your journey, with questions about your dates, and a proposal follows within 48 hours of the call.

Tell us the weeks you have.

We reply within one business day, US Eastern time. After a twenty minute call, a day by day proposal follows within 48 hours, with the hotels named and a firm price per person.

Travelling around 2 August 2027? Say so in your first message. The total solar eclipse crosses Tunisia that day, and where you are based decides whether you are inside the path of totality.
