Like shimmering mirages on the desert horizon, Sousse, Port El Kantaoui and Monastir are a trio of Tunisia's must-sees. Explore ancient fortresses, atmospheric medinas and the magnificent Bourguiba Mausoleum on this full day tour.

Your first stop is Monastir. Bring the past to life and admire ancient architecture in the old quarter, before seeing the intricate minarets, mosaics and archways beneath the golden dome of Bourguiba Mausoleum. The city's star turn however, is the Ribat Fortress – an early Islamic stronghold that has guarded the waterfront for over a thousand years.

Next up is Sousse, a city where history is etched into every cobblestone. Wander through the bustling medina, a treasure trove of trinkets and handicraft, then make your way to the contemporary marina of Port El Kantaoui. Here, you'll round off the tour with some free time to meander among the luxury yachts dotting the harbour.

wev done 3 trips with you now wev been the 1st pickup everytime and last drop off every trip wev been on the bus 1 hr 30 mins before the last pick up its just too much you need to minibus the 1st couple of hotels to a point

Rushed! Ribat at Monastir - incredible but needed more time to explore/appreciate your surroundings. The mausoleum is stunning but again 10 minutes to get your picture and be back on the coach. Sousse we were sent into the fixed price shop or medina, no reference to alternatives to see such as the mosque or ribat. Again this was rushed. Port El Kantaoui 30 mins. Lunch at french restaurant was lovely. A high price for a lot of the day on the coach travelling

I had a fantastic experience exploring the highlights of Sousse and Monastir! The tour was well-organized and offered a perfect balance of cultural insight and comfort. Our guide was incredibly informative and multilingual, which made everything easy to follow and enjoyable for everyone in the group. One thoughtful touch was the use of shady spots when visiting historical sites, which made the heat much more manageable and allowed us to take in the sights comfortably.

The first part of the tour was great, really informative and full of history. The guide (Shakir) was amazing, shared a lot of the history and information throughout the trip. The second part, in the afternoon post lunch was a bit more boring, as you’re just walking around exploring the local area which is mostly souvenir shops.

The visit to the fort and mausauleum were quite good but this only took about 90 mins. The lunch was good. The rest of the day was really just looking round Medina and poor port.

It got cancelled the day before. No choice for booking something else.
