    A Stroll Through the Market

    My wife and I met Abdulhak to start the tour. Abdul has a real passion for Tunis and has been food tours for over 30 years. We headed straight to the market to begin our experience. Abdul was an awesome guide and had a connection with people throughout the market. Over next three hours we ate and ate and ate authentic street food from the region. We stopped about 10 times throughout the market just to eat. The food was delicious and Abdul was great in explaining the culture behind the food. The 3 hours flew by and we were in awe of the Tunsian culture. Thank you Abdul for showing us your city.

    Very fun day in the medina

    It was great. Our guide Ashraf showed us around the Medina and let us try many different dishes. He was also quick to answer all our questions and help us haggle with the vendors in the souk. When he tells you not to eat to mich at every station, so you keep room for the next one take him seriously :D

    Response from the operator: Thank you for ur kind words , Mr.Philipp! It's wonderful knowing that u enjoyed our Tunisian Tour and would recommend us. We appreciate ur support and look forward to welcoming you on another delightful food tour . Thank u again for choosing Tunsian street food ! 😉

    Great food experience with special insights.

    Great tour through the food market and medina. Everything tasted amazingly and if you didn‘t finish we were easily able to take it with us. The price however was a bit too much in my opinion.

    A must when in Tunisia!

    A fun way to discover the most important dishes of Tunisia. The guide was kind and well-informed, and taught me about the history of Tunisia, the cuisine, the ways in which the dishes were made and when they are typically eaten! Had a good time and a lot of great food🥙

    Private Tour Street Food Tastings in the Medina of Tunis: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Tunis.

    How much does Private Tour Street Food Tastings in the Medina of Tunis cost?

    +

    Prices start at $100 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 Tour Street Food Tastings in the Medina of Tunis take?

    +

    Plan for about 3 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 Tour Street Food Tastings in the Medina of Tunis worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 68 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 23 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 Tour Street Food Tastings in the Medina of Tunis?

    +

    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 Tour Street Food Tastings in the Medina of Tunis suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Private Tour Street Food Tastings in the Medina of Tunis?

    +

    Around 8 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 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Private Tour Street Food Tastings in the Medina of Tunis 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 Excursion to Testour, Dougga and Bulla Regia from Tunis.. 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.

    What is included in Private Tour Street Food Tastings in the Medina of Tunis?

    +
