I was a little nervous about booking a full-day trip with our kids in July with the heat (ages 11 and 5), but I needn’t have worried, it turned out to be an absolutely fantastic day!
We were promptly picked up from our hotel by our driver, Shabab, and met our fantastic tour guide, Faycel, en route. The vehicle was spotless, comfortably air-conditioned, and spacious with 8 seats, perfect for a relaxing journey.
Faycel was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and accommodating and was happy to go at our pace, stop for questions or photo opportunities. The visits to the Mausoleum and Great Mosque were fascinating and well worth seeing, but the true standout was El Jem. Just wow! The amphitheatre is absolutely spectacular and the best part no crowds, so we could really soak up the atmosphere and explore freely.
The kids had a fantastic time, and so did we. I honestly can’t think of a single downside. Highly recommend this trip to anyone considering it, especially families. A memorable, hassle-free day out!
