How much does a private tour in Tunisia cost?

A private day trip in Tunisia costs from €74 for the whole car, not per person — so two people pay about €37 each and four pay about €19. Day trips run €74 to €133 per vehicle and multi-day circuits €324 to €2,324. Every price on this site buys the car and the driver for the day, which is why the figure per head falls as your group grows rather than multiplying.

Day trips: what the car costs

These are 23 published prices, not estimates. The figure is for the vehicle with its driver, fuel, tolls and parking, collected from your hotel. The columns on the right are the same price divided by the people in the car, which is the number worth comparing against anything quoted per person.

Day tripHoursPer vehicleEach, 2 peopleEach, 4 people
Carthage, Sidi Bou Saïd & Tunis Medina Private Day Trip6.5 h€74€37€19
Hammamet Beach & Medina Private Day8 h€89€45€23
Friguia Park & Hammamet Medina — Private Family Day7.5 h€103€52€26
Kairouan & El Jem from Sousse or Monastir — Private Day8.5 h€118€59€30
Kerkouane, Kelibia & El Haouaria Private Trip9 h€133€67€34

The base price covers a set number of seats — four in a saloon on most of these, five on some. A group of five to eight needs a minivan, which is a second published tier rather than a surcharge invented at the point of booking.

Multi-day circuits: one row per length

11 circuits at eight different lengths. The ladder matters more than any single product: each step adds days and reaches further south, and the price per day falls as the trip gets longer.

Accommodation is the one thing these figures do not always contain, and it is stated per circuit rather than buried: on some the desert camp night is in the price, on others the hotel nights are quoted with your dates once you say how many rooms you need.

Why “how much per person” is the wrong question

Almost everything sold to visitors in Tunisia is priced per head, because almost everything is a seat on a coach. A car and a driver cost the same for a day whether one person or four sit in it, so pricing it per head would mean charging a family of four twice what a couple pays for identical work.

That produces a crossover rather than a winner. Sampled in September 2026, private day tours of the Tunis sites were listed on the two big marketplaces at €50 to €92 per person, one of them at €204 for a group of up to three, and a shared coach seat to the same sites at about €39 per person. Against our €74 for the car:

PeopleCoach seats at €39 eachMarketplace private, €50 eachThis car
1€39€50€74
2€78€100€74
3€117€150€74
4€156€200€74

So a solo traveller should take the coach and we will say so. Two people are within a few euro either way. From three the private car is cheaper than the coach and less than half the price of a private tour bought through a marketplace, which is the same car with a commission on top. Marketplace prices move with the date and the party size, and the figure they advertise is always their cheapest.

What the price includes, and what it does not

Included, on every tour: the vehicle, the driver, fuel, tolls, parking, and pick-up and drop-off at your own hotel. Not included, and priced rather than implied:

OptionPriceCharged
Traditional camp night in Tozeur (dinner + breakfast)€75per person, per night
Lunch in Sidi Bou Said€12per person
Carthage entrance fee€10per person
Official guide (full day)€60per vehicle
4x4 with driver — full day€200per day

The licensed guide is the one worth understanding. Your driver is local, knows the roads and speaks your language, and that is included. A licensed national guide is a separate qualification and a separate person, charged per vehicle rather than per head, so on a day trip for four it costs about the same as one marketplace seat.

What actually changes the price

Four things, and only four.

And one thing that does not: the date. There is no high-season price, no weekend supplement and no surcharge for a public holiday. The same trip in August costs what it costs in February. There is also nothing to pay up front — no deposit is taken and no card is charged, you pay the driver, and cancelling more than 24 hours ahead costs nothing.

How to check any of this yourself

The whole grid is published, which is unusual enough to be the point. All 34 tours carry their price on the catalogue page, and 1,392 fixed airport-transfer fares are listed with an instant quote and no form to fill in. If a number here disagrees with the catalogue, the catalogue is right: this page reads from it.

Common questions

How much is a private day trip in Tunisia?

From €74 for the whole vehicle, up to €133 for the longest day trips. The price is per car with its driver, not per person, so two people pay about €37 each and four about €19 each. It includes fuel, tolls, parking and hotel pick-up.

Is the price per person or per vehicle?

Per vehicle. A car and a driver cost the same for a day whether one person or four are in it. Above the seats the base price covers — four in a saloon, eight in a minivan — a larger vehicle is a second published price rather than a surcharge added at booking.

Is a private tour cheaper than a group excursion in Tunisia?

From three people, yes. A shared coach seat to the Tunis sites was about €39 per person when we sampled the marketplaces in September 2026, so €117 for three, against €74 for a private car that seats four. For one traveller the coach is cheaper and we will say so. For two it is within a few euro either way.

Does the price include a guide?

It includes a local driver who knows the country and speaks your language. A licensed national guide is a separate qualification and a paid option at €60 per vehicle for a full day, which on a trip for four is about the price of one marketplace seat.

Does it include lunch and entrance fees?

No, and both are priced rather than implied. Lunch is €12 per person and the Carthage plus Bardo entrance fees €10 per person, added to the booking if you want them. Leaving them out means you choose where to eat and how long to stay.

How much does a Sahara trip cost?

Multi-day circuits start at €324 per vehicle for two days and run to €2,324 for the 15-day circuit that reaches 9 UNESCO sites. Per day the longer trips are cheaper. Whether the desert camp night is in the price is stated on each circuit.

Are prices higher in high season?

No. There is no seasonal price, no weekend supplement and no holiday surcharge. The same trip costs the same in August as in February.

Do you take a deposit?

No. Nothing is charged to a card in advance and no deposit is held. You pay the driver, in euro or dinar, and cancelling more than 24 hours before the start costs nothing.

Distances are straight-line, measured between the coordinates on our map of the sites; road distances are longer. Prices are per vehicle and come from the same database the 34 tours and 1,392 transfer fares.
