Tunisia excursions with your own driver, collected at your hotel in Hammamet, Sousse, Port El Kantaoui or Tunis. Eight routes, from the Roman arena of El Jem to the blue lanes of Sidi Bou Said, compared on one page by drive time and price per car.
Departures
08:00 or 09:00 from your hotel
Drive to the first stop and length of the whole day, door to door. Prices per car for 1 to 4 people.
All our Tunisia excursions work the same way: an air-conditioned car or van, only your group on board, and a driver who waits at every stop. What changes is the scenery. Here is what each route shows you and who it suits best.
01
First visitThe capital in one day: the covered souks of the medina in the morning, the Antonine Baths of Carthage beside the sea around midday, then coffee on the cliff at Sidi Bou Said. For a first trip to Tunisia, this is where to start.
From
€80
per car, 1 to 4 people
02
Short on timeCarthage and the white and blue village without the medina, with you back at the hotel by early afternoon. A good fit for the day after you land, or when the beach is calling.
From
€70
per car, 1 to 4 people
03
Roman historyTwo UNESCO sites on one road: the Great Mosque of Kairouan, founded in 670, then the amphitheatre of El Jem, where you can still walk the passages under the arena floor. If you only take one long trip, take this one.
From
€90
per car, 1 to 4 people
04
Easy dayShort drives and long walks on the Sahel coast: the marina of Port El Kantaoui, the walled medina and ribat of Sousse, then the seafront fortress of Monastir. Ideal with children, or after a long trip earlier in the week.
From
€90
per car, 1 to 4 people
05
Sea and landscapesThe green peninsula north of Hammamet, coast to coast: Kelibia fort above a turquoise bay, the sea cliffs and ancient quarries of El Haouaria, and the hot springs of Korbous. Pack a swimsuit.
From
€90
per car, 1 to 4 people
06
For archaeology fansOur longest drive, two and a half hours from Hammamet, for a whole Roman town on a hillside, which UNESCO calls the best preserved small Roman town in North Africa, and the underground villas of Bulla Regia with their mosaics in place. Take the 08:00 start.
From
€120
per car, 1 to 4 people
07
Off the classic routesInland to the mountain that once supplied Carthage with water: the abandoned Berber village of Zriba Olia on its ridge, the white lanes of Zaghouan and the Roman Water Temple at the spring. Wear shoes that grip on stone paths.
From
€70
per car, 1 to 4 people
08
FamiliesHalf a day at the wildlife park near Bouficha, half an hour from Hammamet: lions, giraffes, elephants and flamingos at your own pace. You are back at the hotel for lunch with the afternoon free.
From
€45
per car, 1 to 4 people
Kilometres say little here; driving time says more. Friguia Park is half an hour from Hammamet, Dougga two and a half hours. Pick your pickup town and the routes rearrange around it. For a closer look at the roads from one resort, read our guide to day trips from Hammamet.
Each ring is 30 minutes of driving to the first stop. Directions are as the crow flies.
We price the vehicle, not the seat. The fare covers the car or van, the driver, fuel, tolls and parking, so it stays the same whether two or four of you ride. Pick a route and a pickup town to see what it comes to per person.

Paid to the driver at the end of the day, in euros or dinars. Site tickets are extra: in 2026 Carthage, El Jem and Kairouan cost 30 dinars each for foreign visitors, then 45 dinars from January 2027.
Most guests stay a week and go out two or three times. What works: never two long days back to back, the longest drive early in the stay, and the last full day kept free. Three ways to space them:
Carthage and Sidi Bou Said early on, El Jem near the end, beach days around both.
Little time in the car: a half day to start, one easy full day in the middle, a half day to finish.
The longest drive first while you are fresh, then the coast, then the mountains.
What travellers ask us before choosing a route. More answers on the questions page.
Friguia Park is the easy one: half an hour from Hammamet and back for lunch. Sousse and Monastir also works well, with short drives and plenty of time on foot. Child seats are free on request.
Not comfortably. The dunes around Douz are five hours or more by road from Hammamet, so desert tours from the coast take two days with a night in a camp. We only run day trips, and El Jem is as far south as we go.
For one or two people, a coach seat usually costs less. We charge per car, so from three or four travellers the gap narrows quickly, and the vehicle and the timing are yours alone.
Two or three is comfortable. Leave a beach day between two long trips such as El Jem and Dougga, and keep the shorter ones for days when you want to be back early. You can book them all at once or one by one during your stay.
Comfortable shoes, a hat and water for the open sites. At the Great Mosque of Kairouan and the Zitouna mosque in Tunis everyone covers shoulders and knees, so a light scarf in the bag saves time. Bring cash in dinars for the tickets.
You pay the driver at the end of the day, in euros or dinars. There is no deposit and no card. Cancelling or moving the date is free up to 48 hours before pickup.
Tunisia has nine World Heritage sites, and six of them sit on our routes: Carthage, the medinas of Tunis and Sousse, Kairouan, El Jem and Dougga. Our guide to UNESCO sites in Tunisia covers all nine, with 2026 ticket prices.
No deposit, no card, and free changes up to 48 hours before pickup. Pick a route, a date and your pickup town in the booking bar, and we confirm your Tunisia excursions in writing, usually within a couple of hours.
