TOURS IN TUNISIA
Our tours are as different as the kinds of people who travel.
You may choose from our regularly scheduled all-inclusive
land tours, or work with our knowledgeable staff to create a
custom itinerary for yourself or your organization. Accommodations
range from luxurious 5-star hotels with seaside golf courses to
air-conditioned Bedouin tents in the heart of the Sahara desert.
You may travel in comfortable tour buses or by jeep with your own
guide and driver.
However you chose to experience Tunisia, you won't soon forget it. It is a country rich in cultural and historical sites from the ruins of Carthage to the magnificent coliseum at El Jem. Our knowledgeable English-speaking guides provide an excellent representation as to the country's rich cultural heritage and its warm and hospitable people.

TUNISIA If any travel Agency and tour should receive the "above and beyond the call of duty" award, it should go to TunisUSA (155 E. Lancaster Ave., Wayne, PA 19087; phone 1-888-474-5502 or 484/754-0086; fax 484/754-0088; email info@tunisUSA.com or visit www.tunisUSA.com) and the October '01 tour of Tunisia called "From Phoenicians to Berbers." Due to the 9/11 disaster, air travelers, and especially those flying off to an Arab country, were greatly apprehensive for their safety. Jerry Sorkin, President of TunisUSA, kept us all upto date on the current conditions and eased any of our concerns. In the end, he, himself, came to Tunisa to be on hand to greet those arriving for the tour. And his Tunisian counterparts could not have welcomed us more warmly, including having us for dinner in their own home on the first night. In fact, it seemed that everyone with whom we came into contact in that wonderful country expressed their delight in seeing us there and their sincere regret for the terrible tragedy in New York City. One after another asked me to tell my friends that such action could never be approved by any part of the Islam faith and that they had only warm regards for America. |
With these very personal words of support, the entire tour was an educational and interesting adventure. We stayed at the very best of hotels and ate in the finest restaurants, all 5-star. Our comfort continued as we toured in a comfortable mini-bus, driven by a most capable and friendly driver. Anyone with an interest in history will find this tour a daily agenda of wonders, including the Roman mosaics in the Bardo Museum in Tunis, the underground houses of the Sahara peoples, the site of Carthage, etc. All of these were made all the more valuable by the excellent guide who was with us for the entire tour. Mourad was always eager to handle any of our requests, proud to show off his country and well informed regarding the sites we were seeing. It never appearedthat he ever got tired of being our "host" 24 hours a day! Truly, at the conclusion of the tour, we felt that we were leaving behind a good friend. The cost of our 11-night tour, Oct. 12-23, was $2,595, land
only, from Tunis. This was a wonderful visit to a wonderful
country. |
