A Comprehensive Tour of the Treasures of Tunis This full-day excursion helps you make the most of your time by exploring all the highlights with an expert guide. At Tunis’s Bardo National Museum, housed in the palace of a former bey, or chieftain, browse a fine collection of mosaics and artifacts from Carthage. Explore a living museum in the Tunis medina, an entrancing maze-like district of shops, mosques, palaces and residences. You will have free time to peruse the many stalls of this souk. In ancient Carthage, stroll among the remarkable Punic and Roman ruins of the 3,000-year-old capital of the Carthaginian Republic. Its vast port was once crowded with 200 warships. You will also journey to the Moorish village of Sidi Bou Said, perched on the cliffs overlooking the Bay of Tunis. Enjoy a guided walk among its houses painted in white and blue, and perhaps sip a mint tea at a local café or enjoy the panoramic views. * Moderate - Walking portions may be long and somewhat challenging with occasional step-ups, stairs and inclines.
