Debbierpof Posted June 16, 2007 #1 Share Posted June 16, 2007 I have asked several questions about Tunis on the thread and have gotten some great recommendations. Now instead of just 4 of us taking a cab from the port (which is what we were going to do), I have 12 of us that might be booking with Tunisian Discoveries for our day in Tunis. I just can't seem to find any reviews about them and I'm getting a little nervous. They have called me from Tunis several times to answer questions and e-mail frequently. They will provide a 23 person mini-bus and take us to Carthage, American Cemetary in Carthage, Bardo Museum, Sidi Bou Said, and through Tunis. We may modify our itinerary (time constraints). They want a credit card to hold the tour but know we will be paying with cash at the end of the tour. What would you recommend? How can I find out if they are a reputable company? Thanks and sorry for the lengthy entry. By the way, their website address is www.tunisiandiscoveries.com. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jade13 Posted June 17, 2007 #2 Share Posted June 17, 2007 We have a group of 9 (so far) in a 22 seat minibus with Atlantis Voyages. We will take three more for a max of 12 if others at our Meet and Greet are interested. We have not used them yet, found them on the web, but I have to say they have been the most organized as far as giving us a detailed itinerary. They never asked for a credit card hold, but prefer cash payment after the Bardo Museum (owner will meet us - we are being picked up by a driver and licensed guide). They gave me a long list of clients including Sports Illustrated, Harvard, and some large travel agents, etc. "Atlantis Voyages specializes in quality custom itineraries for individuals, cultural associations, museums, and universities. In cooperation with our partners in the united States, we have had the pleasure of arranging programs for : Alumni associations of Harvard, Yale, Princeton and Brown Universities American Archeological Institute American School of Rome Archives of American Art-Smithsonian Institution Corcoran Gallery, Washington, DC Harvard University Museums Fellows University of Pennsylvania Archeological Museum Washington Art League Wellesley College Alumni World Affairs Council of Philadelphia Metropolitan Art Museum Mr Geroges SOROS and his board Daimler Chrysler North America Lucent technologies Sports Illustrated swim suits issue Abercrombie & Kent private jet world tour Silverseas cruise operator Travel dynamics cruise operator Academic Arrangements Abroad We look forward to your visit." === What price have you been quoted?

Debbierpof Posted June 17, 2007 Author #3 Share Posted June 17, 2007 Jade13 - Thanks for the info! I have sent for a quote. Tunisian Discoveries sent us a quote of $80 per person with the 15th and 20th person being complimentary. That is similar to the shore excursion prices, except much more flexibility. Thanks!

Jade13 Posted June 18, 2007 #4 Share Posted June 18, 2007 Jade13 - Thanks for the info! I have sent for a quote. Tunisian Discoveries sent us a quote of $80 per person with the 15th and 20th person being complimentary. That is similar to the shore excursion prices, except much more flexibility. Thanks! Did that include lunch? We are paying $350 US for a 22 seat minibus plus $25.00 per person which covers entrance fees (and filing fees) to the Bardo Museum and Carthage. We will buy our lown unch. The place they recommend looks fabulous, but at $45.00 per person both my Dh and others in our group (veggies) did not like that idea. The place has a cafe so we may ask to go there. We are a group of 9 (will take 12 max) and looking at about $60 - $64.00 per person plus lunch. This includes both a driver and licensed guide for a full day tour.

Debbierpof Posted June 18, 2007 Author #5 Share Posted June 18, 2007 That seems like a great deal! Lunch is included but that really isn't as important to us. Can't wait to see if they are available. With a destination such as this, I really don't want anything to go wrong with logistics. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
