  It was hot but a rewarding day. Our driver/guide ALI was very friendly and very knowledgeable... we really enjoyed our day and the sceneries were spectacular. Thanks ALI and VIATOURS.

• 3Not quite what we were expecting

  We understood this tour to include transport to three different sites with a guide who would tell us about each place we visited—and we thought this is what we’d paid for. In fact, our driver had very little to say and may not actually even have spoken much English; one member of our party is Tunisian so he did all the talking. We were relieved upon arriving at the Chebika oasis to find a very chatty guide who had lots to tell us as we hiked the trail, but then we learned at the end of our visit that we were expected to pay him in cash, which we’d brought very little of and had spent some of on the stands of souvenirs that are all over the site. This threw the rest of our tour into confusion as we were concerned we wouldn’t have enough money for two more guides, and also annoyed because what was the $60/person for? At Mides we were again asked to pay for a guide, so we skipped it. Our driver ultimately took us to another small oasis spot where we could get our feet wet and stand under a waterfall. Overall, neither oasis was particularly thrilling, tho the first was more picturesque. Each was very small—the photos suggest a much grander setting, maybe in the fall it’s more dramatic. We were glad to have gotten out and seen some of the desert, but on the whole this tour was a disappointment.

• 5Highly recommend booking through this agency!

  We had booked a second trip with another travel agency, additionally to this one, so we were able to compare: This trip was so so much better than the other one. 5 star! - Amazing guide: Good English & French, introduced us to cultural music, gave us facts about culture & history, super kind, organised and flexible (when it came to timing, toilet breaks and other things regarding the toddler we had with us) - Spotless & comfy new car (7-seater, 6 months old only, great feathering) - Water provided - Definitely toddler friendly if you don’t mind carrying them for a little bit of the hike One minor thing however: I recommend asking for your guide‘s phone number in advance and communicate the exact time you’d like to be picked up at. They can be flexible but also if you need them to be on time and want to avoid waiting around, this can be communicated beforehand.

• 5Great experience with great guide

  Our guide Sami is very friendly and knowledgeable, who arrived at our place earlier which is appreciated a lot after our several days traveling in this country 🤣. During the experience we stopped at three viewpoints, he provided detailed introduction and answered all questions we have raised. Both the Sahara and Sami are GREAT! Highly recommended.

• 5Super tour - highly recommended also for families!

  Perfect tour to get started in the dry / dessert area of Northern Africa! Our tourguide was really great, good car, all in English so the kids could also understand and with great content on the way whilst driving. We got to know other great people as well and touched base with locals. Highly recommended!

• 5Unforgettable!

  It was a great experience, highlight of our trip to Tunisia. The guide was extremely friendly and very professional, gave us detailed insights about the places we visited and the people who live there. I absolutely recommend it, this tour made our trip really special. If you are unsure about including something like this in your plan, just don't doubt! 10/10 ;)

About Tozeur

Tozeur is a date-palm oasis in southern Tunisia, on the edge of the Sahara, with brick-patterned lanes and the great salt flats of Chott el Djerid.

Tozeur lies in the Djerid, the string of oases in south-western Tunisia, close to the Algerian border. Hundreds of thousands of date palms grow in gardens watered by springs, with pomegranates, citrus and vegetables in their shade. The old Ouled el-Hadef quarter is built of sand-coloured brick laid in raised geometric patterns, and narrow lanes run between its walls.
