Your day, step by step
01
Discover Sousse through the eyes of a local on this immersive half-day cultural experience, designed for curious travellers who want more than a classic tour. Your excursion begins with a transfer from Port El Kantaoui to the historic heart of Sousse. Entering the UNESCO World Heritage-listed medina, your licensed guide will reveal the daily life, traditions and hidden symbols that large tour groups often miss.
02
Wander through narrow alleys, artisan streets and local markets while learning how the medina has evolved from ancient times to today. Continue to the iconic Ribat of Sousse, one of the oldest Islamic fortresses in North Africa. From its towers, enjoy a panoramic view over the medina and the Mediterranean, while your guide tells stories of the warriors, sailors and spiritual guardians who once protected the coast.
03
The experience ends with an organised visit to selected museums, focusing on archaeological highlights such as Roman mosaics, ancient Islamic artefacts and lesser-known historical pieces. Rather than overwhelming you with dates, your guide pairs each piece with real stories that shed light on the many facets of Tunisian heritage.
04
For more flexibility, a double pick-up option is available between 7:00 and 9:00 am and between 1:00 and 3:00 pm, letting you choose the departure time that suits you best. Please note the archaeological museum is closed on Mondays. This relaxed, well-paced tour is ideal for travellers seeking cultural immersion, relevant explanations and an authentic presentation of Sousse, beyond the usual tourist trail.
