    Tour guide was superb. Initial descriptions were in two languages and then there were the same at the coliseum. We were left to walk around, much appreciated. The museum was incredible, mosaics from 2000 years ago in touching distance! Bus trip back, there were nice details on Tunisia and the region

    The tour was about 5 hours but there was only two of us on it. It is about an hour drive from Sousse. El Jem Amphitheatre and archaeological museum are really interesting and our guide Abdullah was very helpful and gave us an interesting tour of the site.
