Experience the perfect blend of ancient history and Mediterranean charm on this curated half-day journey. Your adventure begins with a comfortable pick-up from your accommodation in Hammamet, heading north toward the legendary ruins of Carthage.
Once the heart of a great empire, Carthage today offers a fascinating walk through time. Accompanied by historical insights, you will explore the Byrsa Hill, where the city was founded, and marvel at the scale of the Antonin Baths, the largest Roman baths outside of Rome. Standing among these colossal ruins with the turquoise sea as a backdrop is a moment you won't soon forget.
From the echoes of antiquity, we transition to the poetic beauty of Sidi Bou Said. Perched atop a cliff, this world-famous village is a living canvas of blue and white. As you wander through its cobblestone alleys, you'll discover iconic studded doors, vibrant bougainvillea, and artisan workshops. Take a moment to soak in the atmosphere at the legendary Café des Délices, sipping traditional mint tea while gazing out over the Gulf of Tunis.
Throughout the trip, you’ll enjoy the flexibility of a private or small-group setting, allowing you to move at your own pace and capture the perfect photos. After a morning filled with culture and beauty, relax on the scenic drive back to Hammamet, arriving in time for your afternoon plans.
