Dreadful experience Tunisis
Dreadful experience with Compass Travel. Guide did not/ would not give us collection point. We spent 80 minutes trying to locate him. When we finally found him he was extremely rude and arrogant and not helpful or friendly. We abandoned our tour rather than spend any time with a guide with such a shocking attitude. We will never know Tunisia… no time left to find a tour or helpful guide!

Half Day Tunis Tour
The guide and driver were both very professional. There was a mixup in communication at the commencement of the tour which was not their doing. The guide displayed great knowledge of his subject and as a result enlightened all the group with his knowledge of his country’s history. Would highly recommend the tour.

We're glad that both your guide and driver were professional and knowledgeable.

Wonderful half day in Tunisia
We really enjoyed our tour of Tunisia. We had a driver and a guide and both were very informative and accommodating. There was a minor delay to start of our tour because we were waiting for them inside the cruise port while they were waiting for us outside. They sent us a message the day before on the meeting place, but since we have no WiFi on board nor in Africa we did not pick it up. They phoned us when they didn't see us so we met up a few minutes late. They drove us to the city where the driver dropped us off with the guide. Our guide (Hichem?) was very knowledgeable. He had travelled a lot himself and we couldn't believe it when we found out he was fluent in Japanese! We are Chinese and can read some Japanese characters and can tell his Japanese calligraphy is excellent. He also gave us a quick lesson on Arabic calligraphy. At end of tour, driver picked us up and drove us back to the port. Since they are not permitted to go inside the port, perhaps this should be noted a few days earlier for the travellers, as some travellers may not have access to WiFi. But overall, we were very glad we had this tour and with the driver and tour guide.
Response from the operator: Dear Linda, Thank you for taking the time to share your positive experience with Compass Travel and Events during your tour of Tunisia. We're delighted to hear that you really enjoyed your visit. We'll take your suggestion to heart and consider alternative ways to notify travelers in advance, especially regarding restrictions on entering ports. It's wonderful to know that both the driver and guide were informative and accommodating. We're thrilled that your guide Mr. Chakib, impressed you with his knowledge and language skills. We're proud to have such a versatile guide who can share insights in multiple languages and even provide a lesson on calligraphy. We value your feedback, and we hope to welcome you back for more enriching experiences with Compass Travel and Events in the future. Best regards, Compass Travel and Events

Why this scores 54
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private Half Day Tunis City Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Tunis.
How much does Private Half Day Tunis City Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $25 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Tunis usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Private Half Day Tunis City Tour take?
+
Plan for about 4 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Tunis is not rushed.
Is Private Half Day Tunis City Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 54 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.5/5 across 10 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Tunis, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Private Half Day Tunis City Tour?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Private Half Day Tunis City Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Half Day Tunis City Tour?
+
Around 4 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Tunis can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Tunis and add a light layer if any part of the 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Half Day Tunis City Tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Tunis within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Tunis?
+
On Outty we rank every Tunis experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Walking Tour through the Medina of Tunis(Pay what you want), Private tour: Medina,Carthage ,Sidi Bou Said, Bardo Museum+lunch, Private Tour to Kairouan, El Jem & Monastir from Tunis_hammamet. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Tunis?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Tunis?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
