What to expect

Prepare for an adventure that takes in Tunisia's Roman roots and pirate past. You'll visit an amphitheatre to rival that of Rome with a tour of El Jem – an ancient colosseum where gladiator games once took place. Then, take to the waves for a swashbuckling afternoon at sea that includes swim stops, lunch and snacks aboard a replica pirate galley.

This UNESCO World-Heritage site of El Jem is soaked in history. You'll be captivated by its stone-cut walls, fine-tuned archways and three-floor facade, a testament of glory to what was the Roman Empire. Take a seat in the age-old stadium and admire the arena below, just like they did in times gone by.

Then, we'll cast off from Monastir harbour into the Mediterranean, just as the Barbary pirates did for centuries. But while they struck fear into European coastal communities as far afield as Iceland, we'll be going out to have wholehearted fun. There'll be stops to dive into the sea for swimming and plenty of time to dry off on-board while chillin' with water drinks and munching on snacks.

    Onze gids en het colleseum was geweldig, voor het colleseum nog een oud Romeins mozaïek museum bezocht in El Jem, dit was indrukwekkend. De gids heeft ons ontzettend veel bijgeleerd. De piratenboot was dan wel een ramp. Is helemaal niks voor kleine kinderen en dat mag er best bijgezet worden. Muziek staat enorm hard, boxen kunnen het amper aan waardoor de kwaliteit ook nog eens slecht is. Dan gaan ze opeens hun animatie programma doen, wat totaal niet geschikt voor kinderen is

    we moesten 1,5 uur in de bus voordat we er waren, daar aangekomen kregen we max een uurtje om rond te kijken, het was erg warm, dus de gids was snel vertrokken. Het is mooi om te zien, maar niet 3 uur bus tijd mooi.
