Just amazing

15-Aug-2024

We had a wonderful day with thousands of pictures. I'm very glad l've found VirSem Fun & Travel on Tripadvisor. Everything was well organized. Wissem helped with every detail along the way. We saw a salt lake, went up to ksar Chenini, then went to ksar Heddada, ate at a restaurant with very tasty local food, and also stopped at ksar Medenine. We were full of emotions and took thousands of pictures. We definitely recommend this company

Tunisia I love you

01-Oct-2024

From the moment I landed until moment I left I was taken care of. As a single woman traveling I was never afraid. The vehicle was perfect for all the destinations. The guide and hotels were perfect. The meals were amazing. The information and places we visited were well planned and easily accessed at times where it seemed less crowded. Very good tour from one night in desert to hotel by the sea. Diverse array of experience. Indepth knowledge from guide Nasir. Wassim was right on time with pickup and treated me to dinner.
