- 783leannel0 contributionsSo accommodatingSuch an accommodating instructor . Calm, well mannered and polite . Horses look well cared for and are relaxed. My son thoroughly enjoyed his ride . Thank you so so much xWritten February 27, 2025
- manuellaa4970 contributionsAmazing and informative TourThe tour was fantastic! Our tour guide Alaa was amazing! He showed us all the really cool spots and explained in detail all the sites. He was very friendly and patient with us as some of us had mobility problems. He even dropped us back in the hotel.Written February 14, 2025
- Samantha L0 contributionsSpectacular and well-preserved Roman sites and antiquities with a knowledgeable and friendly guide.Alaa picked us up at the hotel and was kind enough to bring an umbrella as it was slightly raining. He was able to tell us about Tunisia, the landscape we were driving through and the history back to Roman times. Alaa helped us with entry to El Jem amphitheater and the archeological museum and talked to us about each of the rooms and levels, including the slave rooms under the colleseum. He helped take some incredible photos with us and gave us some time to explore on our own. The detail and quality of the mosaics at the archaeological museum was an unexpected surprise. Alaa was extremely knowledgeable and friendly and made an unforgettable trip even better.Written February 11, 2025
- Michelle B0 contributionsGreat guided tourOur guide, Ala arrived on time and waited whilst we changed some money at reception. He gave us a friendly greeting and went through the itinerary for the excursion. On our way to El Jem, Ala gave us information of the areas we drove through and answered all our questions. At El Jem, Ala spoke of the history of the arena and took us underground. He then left us to walk freely but was on hand if needed. We then headed to the mosaic museum and again Ala was great with his knowledge of the mosaics and sculptures. We had plenty of time to wander around the museum. Then when we were ready Ala took us back to the hotel. Really enjoyed our trip.Written January 19, 2025

- Teee790 contributionsEl DjemOur El Djem visit was amazing. Beautiful monument and day out. Loved seeing the museum as well. However, we did get charged extortionate rates for the travel to and from the hotel. We later found out it would have been a fraction of the price if we had booked a taxiWritten December 10, 2024

- 344deidreg0 contributionsAuthentic culinary experience which exceeds expectationsThis is a ‘must do’ for an authentic Tunisian culinary and cultural experience. Thoroughly enjoyed shopping for fresh local ingredients with host, Sawsen, and cooking the three delicious Tunisian dishes with the expertise of chef, Mami. With Amal, tour guide, they shared their vast knowledge of the ingredients and spices used, the local traditions with food, and gave insider tips for cooking the food to achieve the best results. From start to finish, the experience exceeded my expectations, was fun, and I highly recommend it. Can’t wait to try these dishes at home. I have had cooking experiences in other countries and this one has been the best by far.Written December 4, 2024

- Nimza0 contributionsOutstanding serviceOthentic travel is to be commended for providing a first class professional service. We were looking for help arranging a few days of excursions during a trip to Tunisia. We'd researched the online offerings but there seemed to be little flexibility and larger groups. We contacted Othentic Travel after we'd arrived in the country and were amazed at the flexibility Othentic Travel was able to offer and the willingness to cater for just two people. Amal was extremely helpful and offered lots of knowledgeable advice which enabled us to make best use of our time in Tunisia and she took care of everything from transport to entry tickets. The tour guides were very knowledgeable and accommodating, the transport provided was clean and modern. Communication was first class, and we really appreciated the quick response time and the follow up afterwards. We can thoroughly recommend Othentic Travel and would suggest anyone visiting Tunisia to make it their first point of contact when seeking travel arrangements during their stay.Written November 20, 2024
- 307claudea0 contributionsExcellent Horse Riding Experience with Gorgeous ViewsA great horseback adventure through Tunisia's stunning landscapes! Our guide was knowledgeable and attentive, while the horses were well-trained and well cared for. We had the privilege of witnessing local farmers harvesting olives and exploring scenic trails which offered the perfect blend of excitement and tranquillity. A fantastic way to experience Tunisia's natural beauty from a unique perspective!Written November 1, 2024

I had an extraordinary experience with our tour guide, Abdulah, during our trip to Tunis. He expertly guided us to scenic spots like the Medina, the Baths of Antoninus, the ruins of Carthage, and the beautiful Sidi Boussaid, not to mention the fantastic seafood we enjoyed at La Goulet.
Abdullah’s knowledge and engaging conversation made our trip even more impressive. He gave us an understanding of the historical and cultural significance of each place we visited, unveiling his intelligence and passion for the subject.
Abdullah’s driving skills were particularly admirable, especially given the challenging traffic conditions in the busy Tunisian capital. Her knowledge kept us safe and comfortable throughout the trip, allowing us to relax and enjoy the experience.
In addition to his driving and sailing skills, Abdullah went above and beyond by helping us negotiate prices in the busy Medina. His local knowledge and language skills were invaluable in securing the best deals and enhancing our shopping experience.
I wholeheartedly recommend Abdullah as a tour guide. His informative conversations, excellent drive, and willingness to help in any way make him a standout for anyone looking for Tunis.

This day trip was my favorite of all the excursions offered by Othentic. Abdallah was an excellent guide and allowed us the pace we needed to climb the steep streets and take in all the views. He also kindly took a lot of photos of us, assuring that we went away with many family group pics. I enjoyed the very old and historic tea shop. We were able to rest there for a while, which I appreciated and enjoyed.

Great opportunity to see a little more of the country. We saw the Medina in Tunis, the Baths of Antoninus and Carthage ruins, Sidi Bousaid , and assorted other opportunities for beautiful panoramic views etc. We had a satisfying and tasty lunch on the beach-front. Our driver/guide Abdallah was instantly engaging, informative, and we felt in safe hands throughout, on the erratic north Tunisian roads. The car was clean and comfortable. We were left free to explore as we wished and we weren’t hurried. All in all an excellent day out. Would recommend.

Was keen to see Sidi Bou Said as it looked so pretty in the photographs - the reality was completely different. Built on a steep hill and accessed from an absolutely packed car park where tourist buses stood cheek by jowl. Very uncomfortable and the temp was in the 30s......couldn't stand far away enough from anything to get a good pic....also, access from the car park to the main street was through the local Souk, with only enough wiggle room between the stalls for one abreast. To have taken the photograph that accompanies this Trip Detail the photographer would have had to clear the street. Having been and not seen much more than people's shoulders I would think very carefully before attempting to visit again. Perhaps if you could access a tour that commenced very early in the morning that might help.

A memorable excursion! Anis, our guide, accompanied us on an itinerary Tunis => Carthage => Sidi Bou Said. His explanations were clear, complete and precise both on the route but also on the history of Tunisia. He loves his country and it shows. Thanks also to Bachir, our driver, who took us to the different places without any problem.

Great tour with a great guide.
The guide Belgacem picked us up directly from the hotel and then we set off straight towards Tunis with our great driver. With his great historical knowledge, all the places worth seeing in Carthage and Tunis were even more impressive.
He gave us enough time everywhere so that we could enjoy the trip in peace.
On our next trip to Tunisia we will definitely do another tour with him.
Thank you
