TUNISIA
The pick of Tunisia.
Our pick of the 5 best cycling tours — the standouts worth building a day around, with what to expect and how to book each one.
Bike Carthage’s UNESCO ruins in 3 hours with a private guide, optional electric bike, and included tickets for Roman-Punic sights.
“Great experience! Electric bicycles make seeing Carthage enjoyable and allow you to see more without getting fatigued from the heat.”
Ride Carthage by bike or e-bike on a 3-hour guided tour to Punic and Roman ruins, with entry tickets included from $56.99.
“Easy paced ride to the sites, even the hill to the top wasn’t that hard. Unfortunately, didn’t get to see all the sites during the tour so asked for the admission tickets so we could walk to see them after the tour. So could have made this maybe a 4hr tour rather than 3hr.”
Private 1.5-hour ATV ride on Djerba: villages, eucalyptus and prickly-pear groves, beach and Laguna. Pickup, gear, guide.
“Great time, off road and on the beach, great fun, also stop off for drink, which is free, and if you have any problems they are straight on it to help.”
Pedal through UNESCO Carthage at your own pace with a provided bike, helmet, and French-only guidebook from Tunis.

Ride your own ATV across Douz Sahara dunes for an hour, with pickup, safety gear, and a desert camp tea stop.
“If you're looking for an adrenaline-pumping adventure, The dunes were simply huge, and the ride was incredibly fun. Our guide, Mounir, was really professional and made sure we were safe at all times. Really great scenery and an amazing experience in total. Recommended!”
