Paid more for Tui for a better service but was dissapointed.Guide Ahmet wanted us to meet him back at his friends restrurant(he brings tourists in and in our opinion gets commision).No PIRATES just a ship.Staffs personal hygiene was beyond disgusting.Water bottle was already opened and cups were used(wet and muddy).Rushed us while eatting by starting on the other side.Used female guests mainly as a form of entertainment and exceeded our bonderies.Tips wanted tipbox in hands.Sick daughter after.

The pirate boat experience was 1st class the crew were professional and the entertainment was non stop. We even rescued an exhausted man swimming too far out from the shore. Enjoyed the trip to el jem, the museum though fascinating I couldn't stay indoors because of the heat.

Pirate Boat was excellent. The Museum was excellent and guide knowledgeable. The coliseum was an excellent visit. The guide should have stayed at coliseum and regathered us as a group. Instead he asked us to meet him back at bus. I waited for partner and lost group and ultimately had to find bus on my own and got slightly lost. Very frightening in busy place and this could have been avoided . It was OK in the end and made it back. Could not hear guide on bus and held mic too close to.mouth.

What a brilliant experience for the whole family! Everyone was friendly, helpful and polite. They got you involved which was really nice. They catered for all ages which is not easy to do. I would happily do it again and would highly recommend to anyone

Great mix for adults and children- 16,14 and 8. The tour guide was very knowledgable. The bus driver was considerate and drove safely. The pirate ship was great fun, the food was lovely and everyone enjoyed jumping off the ship into the sea. The dancing was really fun. Lots of coach time but it was worth it.

Unfortunately we went on one of the last boat tours of the season. There was no vibe at all and to be honest I was expecting some fun . We have been on similar in Turkey and even when quiet there is a pirate show etc

Pirate boat was really disappointing, the only thing piratey about it was the shape of the boat. ‘Entertainment’ was cringey and involved the crew doing the standard holiday dances, which no one really got involved with (this is a no alcohol trip & I think a few drinks may have changed participation - not an excuse, just an observation). Been on a few of the ‘pirate’ cruises and they’ve all been really good fun, with the crew doing an actual show (comedy), swords etc so was expecting the same

Safety wise, no safety belts in our minibus. The timing of the day was not that well explained, it was a good day but a long day. The gladiators part was interesting, but a long way to travel 1hour 40 mins to get there. The pirate boat was brilliant, the staff on board worked really hard to entertain, which they did do in spades and would highly recommend it. Again journey back was quite long at 1hour 30. Timing was not explained well

I enjoyed the tour a lot. Was such a hot day and everyone ran out of water and it was warm. My only suggestion would be maybe a cool box of water taken on the trip to give to people after the gladiator tour

We were told this trip was 4-8 hours when in fact we were out of the hotel for 11. 8 hours of which was sat on a coach with no toilet facilities for. The tour of the colosseum was only 1 hour but it felt like no time to look around at all. The food on the ship wasn't too bad but most of the 2 hours we spent on board was sat in the dock eating. We were also told that there was 2; swimming stops but only stopped once and barely had time to get life jackets on the kids before we were told to getout

Der Guide war gut. Es war leider wenig Zeit im Colosseum. Die Bootstour war leider schlecht. 1,5 Stunden im Hafen auf dem Boot verbracht bis es losging. Viel zu laute Musik und dann eine Mini-Rundfahrt.

Der Reiseleiter ist etwas weing auf die Gruppe eingegangen. Man hatte nicht den Eindruck, dass er Freude an seiner Arbeit hatte. Der Ausflug zum Kolosseum war die lage Reisezeit eher nicht wert. Es war nur sehr wenig Zeit vort Ort eingerechnet. Die Piratenshow war grossartig und ist sehr empfehlenswert. Für Familien mit Kindern eine tolle Sache. Die angegebene Reiszeit für den ganzen Ausflug mit 6-8 Stunden war völlig falsch, wir waren total 12 Stunden unterwegs. Zu lange Reisezeit.

The Colliseum was interesting but could have done with another 30 minutes- it was all a bit rushed! The actual sailing part of the Pirate ship and the swimming off it were great. However, felt very mislead when we were told that you get 3 hours on the Pirste ship- this was true…. Unfortunately 90 minutes of it were on the dock where they fed us a pretty average lunch and we waited around for something to happen! The drives were much longer than expected too meaning lots of time on the bus!

First off the tour guide and bus driver were great very professional and helpful. Gladiators section great but unfortunately not long enough to explore.. Pirate boat awful, no entrainment for the kids. Loud music with broken speaker. Only sailed for 10 minutes then had to swim in loads of jellyfish. Sat anchored for over an hour with nothing to do. Food was fine and one small cup of water provided for the whole trip. Boat staff pushy and they over filled the boat with random people.

Claire Peggs

Booked the 4-8 hour trip. It was nearly 12 hours. After a 2.5-hour drive, we only had 1 hour at the colosseum. After the ten-minute walk each way from the bus to the Eljem, toilet stop. We only had 30 minutes at Eljem. A race round, a clock watch photo stop. Then driven to a free Roman museu. That time could have been used in the colosseum. Another 1.5 hr drive to the pirate boat. Lunch 8 hours after collection. 1 cup water and anchored 2.5 hours by shore. No cruise or entertainment. Awful trip.

The pirate boat was not good at all. Very badly organised on board. The swimming spot they chose had hundreds of jellyfish and mainly the crew seemed to be the people swimming. The lunch was not served for 2 hours after getting on board (now 4pm) and we had not eaten since before our 7 am departure. When served it was not good. The ship did not take us to see anything interesting, and just seemed more bothered about getting further money from the guests.

The trip to El Jem Colosseum and Museum was great. The guide was informative and catered for English as well as French and German. The disappointment was with the Pirate cruise. This is more a trip out from the harbour, turn around and anchor for a swim stop not stops as in literature. We were given a plastic cup of water and lunch was served at 3:30pm! The music on board was staff taste! Overselling of poor quality photography and then a request for tips! Over an hour late return. Overall poor!

Great experience. Loved the coliseum. It could be doing with a drink of water on coach as it’s a long ride.

We were scammed on this tour. We were advised we would be on the big boat when sold to us, with food options on the pirate ship. The guide Omar advised a change of port last minute when on the bus and said itnis better then the original bookeWe were on a fishing boat with make up to look like a pirate ship. The show was described by my 8 and 10 year old as a horror show and spent the time on my phone. The food was one option and terrible. With 9 in our party, the only good part was the coliseum.

Had a great day out. A lot of travelling on the coach though. Only water was available on the boat, if you wanted something different to drink you had to buy them. Food was great.

The guide was very informative we learned alot about tunisia. It was a really great experience at the collaseum, having access to all areas was brilliant. The pirate ship was very good, only gripe was in the excursion details it does say you get soft drinks but only water was provided, my husband doesn't like water so I was thankful that I took a bottle of drink with us. There was alot of travelling involved, thankfully the bus had air-conditioning. We really enjoyed the day.

Wij zouden om 7:35 opgehaald worden bij ons hotel. De bus kwam pas om 8:15 aanrijden. We wilde bijna terug gaan naar de kamer en hadden dan dus onze bus gemist. Vervolgens gingen we naar het colloseum en mochten we maar 30 min rondlopen, terwijl het meer dan 2 UUR rijden was er naartoe. De piratenboot was weer 1 uur rijden en maar 1,5 uur op de boot, terwijl er 3 uur was gezegd door onze gids. Er staat bij de activiteit dat frisdrank en snorkelen is inbegrepen. Maar nee,1 beker water verder niks

The tour spent first part visiting Roman colessuem, this was amazing! Sadly our time here was limited to an hour, which really wasn’t long enough to explore esp as there were local sellers out the outside selling beautiful goods which we never got time to look at. When this the sellers livelihood I’d have loved to buy something and support them. The pirate ship was laughable, felt like The Apprentice task! Tour guide really informative and interesting

Pirate and Gladiators excursion overall a positive experience - Soft drinks are NOT included as indicated, you can get water aboard the boat for free but nothing more. - included lunch was good, good portion and nice food - upon arriving at the boat, the first thing naturally to do would be to go up the steps onto the top deck. Dont do this as there is a man aboard with a bird of prey who will demand money for photos. Make sure you take water from your hotel prior to departure

Wij zaten in Hammamet, het is 90min rijden (dat was best lang) met de bus naar het Colosseum, gelukkig wel airco in de bus. De excursie is top. Echt heel leuk!!

Gladiators: This was brilliant and a real highlight for my boys and I (aged 9, 10 and 15). Getting there early is perfect as it’s very very hot by 10am! El Jem itself is spectacular and a must see. The mosaic museum was interesting. Pirates: The boat itself is impressive but this experience was poor. The food was terrible, our drinks was water shared between guests out of one big bottle and the entertainment was naff plus they want tips. It was quick too. Our tour guide was amazing 5 *

I really enjoyed the coach journey as the guide was 10/10 informative. The amphitheatre was picturesque and we spent a lovely hour there. I didn’t, personally, enjoy the pirate not trip. We were lucky to be one of the first on and get some shade at the back of the top deck but most people were either in no shade upstairs or stuck downstairs where they couldn’t see any of the entertainment. Between entertainment there was ridiculously loud, very sweary inappropriate language for kids on board

Guide tried to hurry us through the Gladiator experience to go to a mosaic ‘museum’, which was not part of the original itinerary. Guide wasn’t available during the Coliseum visit and so we couldn’t ask any questions. Having provided info on gluten free diet ahead of the day, and checked twice with Tui reps my diet was not catered for. Food in general was very poor. Drinks on board were not included as advertised and very expensive. Whole pirate experience was lack lustre but the swimming good.

The tour guide was wonderful, interesting tour of the colosseum and the mosaic museum. The boat trip was fun. Please adjust your description of the tour though as this was very inaccurate; the mosaic museum was not mentioned at all in the description and the description stated soft drinks were included-they were not.Only receiving 2 small plastic cups of water in an entire day out was incredibly dangerous especially for children. We found the sea swimming irratating on the skin with boat petrol.

The ratings above are for El Jem. The pirate ship is not worth the money. It was disappointing that it sailed only a short distance to one stop, stayed there for a period of time and then sailed back. The shows on the ship were entertaining, but those who were asked to get involved were all young attractive women, whereas the target audience for a pirate ship surely should be children?! I booked on the trip for my 8 year old son, but it wasn’t something he would want to do again.

The amphitheatre is beautiful. I'd have liked more time there - we got 45 minutes to see one of the most incredible sites. The visit to see the mosaics in the museum was also amazing (and a nice surprise as it wasnt listed on the itinerary), but again there wasn't enough time to do them justice, or to see othe amazing house of Africa. The pirate boat trip was brilliant - along with the normal tour out, the crew put on a show that we all enjoyed, and I would definitely go again.

Fantastic to see El Jem. Mohammed the guide was kind and gave a lot of information about Tunisia. The day was longer than expected. Almost 10 hours! The pirate boat was too long, especially with a long coach ride to get there. A little too much travel time. But El Jem is 2 hours but 30 minutes going around hotel pick ups and dropouts adds an extra hour. Pirate boat experience can be done in an hour and not 2 and a half.

Volle dag met perfecte afwisseling, eerst cultuur met het bezoek aan het amfitheater en museum, daarna een heerlijke boottocht met afkoeling in de zee. Goede reisleider die veel interessante dingen kon vertellen! Leuke animatie op de boot, ze maakten er een hele show van.

El jem was super leuk en interessant, wel ontzettend lange busreis er naartoe. De piratenboot was echt niet zoveel aan. Je kon alleen maar zitten en was nergens plek om lekker te chillen. Daarnaast moesten we betalen voor alle drankjes, alleen bekertje water kreeg je, terwijl er bij de beschrijving stond dat er drinken bij in zat. Zit was beetje balen anders hadden we zelf nog wat extras meegenomen

It was an excellent tour, guide very imformative and easy to have a conversation with. The visit to the mosaic museum was interesting but I personally think if travelling with young children then either more tine at the ampitheatre or onboard the boat would be of more interest.
