This private tour pairs two of Tunisia's best-loved places: the ancient city of Carthage and the clifftop village of Sidi Bou Said. It's a relaxed mix of archaeology, architecture and local culture. In Carthage we explore Punic and Roman remains, starting at Byrsa Hill, the historical heart of the ancient city. We then see the Roman aqueduct, the Roman theatre, the Antonine Baths (one of the largest Roman bath complexes in North Africa) and the Tophet of Salambo, an ancient Punic sanctuary and burial site. Then we head to Sidi Bou Said for the view from the lighthouse over the Gulf of Tunis, and a stroll through its charming streets, past traditional architecture, local boutiques and art galleries. We finish with a visit to a palace of your choice: Ennejma Ezzahra, the Baron d'Erlanger Palace with its collection of Arab and Mediterranean art, or the 400-year-old Dar El Annabi.
