Itinerary
Day 1
Pickup in Tunis in the morning. The day combines museum time, a visit to the Carthage archaeological area, and a relaxed walk through Sidi Bou Said, with short transfers between each stop. Return to Tunis late afternoon.
Bardo National Museum (Le Bardo)
Visit the Bardo National Museum to see its renowned collection of Roman mosaics and other archaeological collections housed in a 19th‑century palace. The guide highlights major mosaics and provides accessible seating breaks during the visit.
Tips from local experts:
- Bring a light jacket; interior galleries are air‑conditioned and can be cool for extended periods.
- There are benches in major galleries — plan short resting stops every 20–30 minutes if needed.
- Carry a small amount of local currency for lockers or museum card payments; guide will assist with directions to the entrance.
Carthage Archaeological Site
Explore the main archaeological area of Carthage. The visit covers visible ruins and viewpoints that illustrate Punic and Roman occupation; the guide will lead a route that minimizes steep climbs and uses flatter paths where possible.
Tips from local experts:
- Wear comfortable, supportive shoes — paths are uneven and include gravel and stone.
- Expect open, sunny areas; bring sun protection (hat, sunscreen) and use provided bottled water during walking segments.
- Ask the guide for quieter viewpoints if you prefer to avoid crowded photo spots or steep staircases.
Sidi Bou Said (village and viewpoint)
Leisurely visit to the picturesque hilltop village of Sidi Bou Said: wander the winding lanes, enjoy coastal views and visit key viewpoints. The guide schedules a relaxed walking loop with time to sit and rest; food and drinks are not included but there are cafés available if guests wish to purchase refreshments independently.
Tips from local experts:
- Many streets have steps; choose shaded seating areas for longer rest periods and notify the guide if you need the flattest route.
- Carry small change for restroom facilities or a café if you wish to sit for a drink; the guide can recommend quieter cafés with accessible seating.
- Plan photo stops near the main viewpoints early in the visit to avoid mid‑day crowds and reduce walking in the hottest part of the day.
