We did a private tour with Grand Sahara Adventures with an overnight in the desert and it was the best experience. We had the best fun and were able to immerse ourselves in the culture. Our tour guide Ftouma and our driver Ali were the best! I highly recommend them for your trip.
Kasia
We (4 adults + 2 children) booked a Sahara day trip and camel ride back in May, and it was absolutely incredible! A massive thank you to our amazing guide Abbes and our wonderful driver Belgassem for making the whole experience unforgettable. Abbes was hands down the best guide we could have asked for - so knowledgeable, friendly, and attentive. He made us feel completely safe and kept us engaged and interested at every stop along the way. He even took us to a fantastic local food stop, which was such a highlight. This day trip wouldn’t have been the same without him. We couldn’t recommend this experience (and this driver!) highly enough. Thank you!

visite des incontournables de Djerba. avec beaucoup d'explications et d'histoire de la Tunisie, passionnant ! Guide au top !
Maxime
Notre guide Nebil était vraiment exceptionnel, un féru d'histoire et de geopolitique qui nous a apprit beaucoup de choses sur le passé et la vie de Djerba. Chaque arrêt est une invitation à la découverte, et être témoin de la belle coexistence entre les Hommes de confessions différentes rassure les cœurs.. Je recommande cette excursion sans hésiter 🙂
Yas
Great trip with friends, knowledgeable, kind & passionate guide Ftouma and driver. We drove through nicely preserved Berber villages, absorbed beautiful landscape, met kind people on the way and had very tasty local food. The overall vibe was wonderful however we wish our itinerary allowed (1) more time to enjoy certain places like the dunes at the camp prior to leaving, and; (2) skip breakfast at the camp to allow space for the heavenly shakshouka at the Berber house visit and the couscous lunch at a Berber family in Temerzet. Last but not least, the GSA agent Anouar went above and beyond to attend to our needs prior to the trip. I highly recommend traveling with GSA Tour for memorable South of Tunisia trip.

I had an fun experience on the Star Wars tour from Djerba. Our guide, Ftuma, was fantastic—her passion really brought the tour to life. She was not only knowledgeable but also caring and attentive, making sure everyone was having a great time. Our driver, Hafed, was excellent as well. He drove safely and was very friendly, adding to the overall enjoyment of the trip.

Nous avons passés un excellent moment avec Tunisia explore and events, cela fait 4/5 ans que nous passons nos Vacances d’été à Djerba avec mon fils, après notre excursion de visite de Djerba, nous sommes rentrés éblouis! Nous ne voyons plus Djerba comme avant! Monsieur Nabil le Guide est une encyclopédie, une belle personne, très cultivé qui a su même capter l’attention de mon fils. Nous avons appris tellement de choses! Sur l’histoire de Djerba! Encore mieux qu’un documentaire. Visites d’endroit cachés de Djerba, anecdote, il est attentionné et à l’écoute, une sortie intimiste, familiale et conviviale. J’ai fais plusieurs sorties, mais je recommande vivement, nous sommes rentrés en ayant rencontré une très belle personne, un ami! Et avec tellement de beaux souvenirs, découvertes, un moment magique! Nous n’avons pas vu le temps passé. Vraiment grand merci. Je recommande fortement contrairement aux sorties commerciales à forte fréquentation. Avec Monsieur Nabil, le client est au centre.

My husband and I just returned from a 4 day excursion with GSA! 100% would recommend for ease of planning & seeing all the best sites in the south✨ Our tour guide, Dalel, spoke superb English and really kept us engaged. She’s easy and fun to get along with. Our driver, Anwar was also pleasant & had good command of the road. Camping in the Sahara and quad biking was a highlight for us!! Cons: please stop using Ksar Rouge hotel in Tozeur, it’s far from a 4 star hotel and the food was awful and service very slow. We could not eat it. Also the lunch stop in Douz was not good either…a very poor representation of Tunisian cuisine. I beg you all to update this.
