3 Days Itinerary
We had an amazing experience with Chachia Travel! 🇹🇳✨ They did an incredible job organizing our excursions and tailoring the itinerary to exactly what we wanted to see, while also recommending hidden gems and must-visit places we would probably have missed. But honestly, the highlight of our experience was our guide, YASSIN! 🥹❤️ He was such a respectful, kind, and genuinely amazing person. He suggested the most incredible places, made every excursion so much more enjoyable, and brought such a good vibe to the whole trip. He became a genuine friend, and by the end of the trip, saying goodbye wasnt easy. We HIGHLY recommend Chachia Travel!

Great tour with a private car
We had a great tour with our driver Wissam. He showed us beautiful spots in Carthage and drove us directly to them, which were also easily manageable with two small children in the heat. The hours were flexible, we could decide when we started (we are not early risers 😉) and when we wanted to return. The car was air-conditioned and the ride was pleasant. All in all, highly recommended and much better than the typical bus excursions with a horde of people. Thanks to Wissam and Chaccia Tours!
Response from the operator: Vielen herzlichen Dank für Ihre tolle Bewertung! 😊 Es freut uns sehr, dass Sie eine so schöne Tour mit Wissam hatten und die flexiblen Zeiten sowie die individuell auf Ihre Familie abgestimmte Tour genießen konnten. Gerade mit kleinen Kindern ist es uns wichtig, dass der Tag entspannt und angenehm bleibt. Vielen Dank für Ihr Vertrauen und Ihre Empfehlung! Wir hoffen, Sie bald wieder in Tunesien begrüßen zu dürfen. 🇹🇳😊

Incredible and spectacular
The private excursion from a hotel outside the Mahdia area exceeded all our expectations. From the first moment we felt very well taken care of, with a warm, friendly, and totally personalized service. Very good communication from the beginning both via WhatsApp and email. Yassine picked us up at the hotel on time and gave us water along the way both going and returning. The trip was pleasant with a clean vehicle and a comfortable temperature. Safwen, a warm and very professional guide. He had everything perfectly organized and the care and attention to every detail was noticeable. We enjoyed the day very much, without rushing, being able to choose the time, the stops, and getting recommendations for places, restaurants, and shopping areas. Without a doubt, we recommend this excursion 100%. If you have the opportunity to do it, don't hesitate. We went as a family and we loved it. The truth is that there are traffic jams entering and leaving Carthage, but that's normal. We are taking home precious memories and, above all, a great desire to return. Thank you for making this day an unforgettable experience!
Response from the operator: ¡Muchísimas gracias por esta reseña tan bonita y detallada! ❤️🇹🇳 Nos alegra enormemente saber que vuestra excursión privada desde Mahdia superó vuestras expectativas y que disfrutasteis de la experiencia en familia de principio a fin. Para nosotros, cada detalle cuenta: desde la comunicación antes de la excursión, la puntualidad y la comodidad del vehículo, hasta poder disfrutar del día sin prisas y con total libertad para adaptar las paradas y el tiempo a vuestros deseos. Yassine y Safwen estarán muy felices de leer vuestras palabras y de saber que contribuyeron a hacer vuestro día tan especial. También agradecemos vuestra comprensión con respecto al tráfico en la entrada y salida de Cartago; intentamos siempre organizar la jornada de la mejor manera posible para que nuestros clientes aprovechen al máximo su tiempo y disfruten de cada momento. Ha sido un verdadero placer acompañaros y esperamos tener la oportunidad de daros la bienvenida nuevamente en Túnez para descubrir juntos muchos más lugares maravillosos. 🇹🇳✨ ¡Gracias por vuestra confianza y por recomendarnos al 100 %! Un fuerte abrazo de parte de todo el equipo de Chachia Tours.

For organizing excursions, they are the best
For those who don't want to take the usual bus excursion where the organizers decide everything, I recommend Chachia Tours; you decide where you want to go, when to go, and they organize everything for you without any hassle and with the comfort of being alone with a car and a guide in any language who explains everything to you and also advises you on where to go to eat, where to shop, etc. You just have to think about having fun. I highly recommend it. GREAT JOB
Response from the operator: Grazie di cuore per questa splendida recensione e per aver scelto Chachia Tours! ❤️🇹🇳 Siamo davvero felici che abbiate apprezzato la libertà di vivere la Tunisia secondo i vostri ritmi, senza programmi rigidi e con il comfort di un’esperienza privata e personalizzata. Il nostro obiettivo è proprio questo: organizzare ogni dettaglio affinché i nostri ospiti possano rilassarsi, scoprire luoghi autentici e pensare semplicemente a divertirsi. 😊 Grazie ancora per la vostra fiducia e per la vostra forte raccomandazione. Speriamo di rivedervi presto per nuove avventure in Tunisia! 🇹🇳✨ Un caro saluto, Il team di Chachia Tours

Great trip with Wissam
We had a tour with Wissam as our driver and it has been an excellent experience! No problems with pickup, immediate contact and no problems with communicating. He shared a great amount of tips, informations and answered all our questions. Also helped us with some additional stuff as suggesting shops etc.
Response from the operator: Thank you very much for sharing your wonderful experience! 😊 We are delighted to hear that you had a great time with Wissam and appreciated his professionalism, communication, and helpful recommendations throughout the tour. We will be happy to share your kind words with him. Providing our guests with a smooth, comfortable, and personalized experience is always our priority. Thank you again for choosing Chachia Tours & Transfers. We hope to welcome you again soon for another memorable discovery of Tunisia! 🇹🇳

Why this scores 73
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
VIP Tour: Tunis, Carthage & Sidi Bou Said & La Marsa + Gift: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Tunis.
How much does VIP Tour: Tunis, Carthage & Sidi Bou Said & La Marsa + Gift cost?
+
Prices start at $22 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 VIP Tour: Tunis, Carthage & Sidi Bou Said & La Marsa + Gift take?
+
Plan for about 7 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 VIP Tour: Tunis, Carthage & Sidi Bou Said & La Marsa + Gift worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 73 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 14 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 VIP Tour: Tunis, Carthage & Sidi Bou Said & La Marsa + Gift?
+
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 VIP Tour: Tunis, Carthage & Sidi Bou Said & La Marsa + Gift suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book VIP Tour: Tunis, Carthage & Sidi Bou Said & La Marsa + Gift?
+
Around 5 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 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does VIP Tour: Tunis, Carthage & Sidi Bou Said & La Marsa + Gift 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.
