The Grand Heritage Tour is a full-day trip through Tunisia's Roman, Numidian and Berber heritage, all of it woven together in one long, rich day. If you're curious about the layers of history here, this is the excursion we'd recommend first.
We take you to the Water Temple of Zaghouan (source of the aqueduct that once supplied Carthage), the spectacular UNESCO site of Dougga (theatre, Capitol, temples, baths), the ancient Numidian and Roman city of Makthar, and the beautiful Berber mountain village of Kesra. Each one feels completely different from the last.
Air-conditioned round-trip transport from your city, a professional driver-guide, site entrance fees and lunch are all included. You just show up and let us handle the rest.
