Description
Explore the Bardo Museum and the Medina of Tunis on a guided tour. Discover the world's largest collection of Roman mosaics, learn about the history of the Medina, and enjoy a traditional lunch.
Begin your half-day tour at the Bardo Museum, home to the largest collection of Roman mosaics in the world. Explore the museum's highlights, from monumental mosaic scenes of mythology and daily Roman life to artifacts spanning Punic, Roman, Christian, and Islamic Tunisia.
Next, head to the heart of the Tunis Medina, a UNESCO-listed old city of narrow alleys, covered souks, and centuries-old mosques. Rather than a standard walking tour, this experience is led alongside a local storyteller who shares the legends, folklore, and hidden histories tied to specific courtyards, gates, and corners of the Medina.
Pass through the spice, perfume, and textile souks, glimpse hidden courtyard houses, and get a genuine sense of how the Medina has functioned as a living commercial and residential center for over a thousand years.
Enjoy lunch at a restaurant within the Medina itself, serving traditional Tunisian dishes in an authentic setting. This tour is a great fit for culturally curious travelers, first-time visitors wanting orientation in Tunis, or anyone who prefers storytelling and atmosphere over a purely factual walkthrough.
