La Goulette private shore excursions: your 2026–2027 guide

    A private shore excursion from La Goulette port lets you visit Carthage, Sidi Bou Saïd and the Tunis medina on a route tailored to your port call. Start with your actual time ashore, then choose the number of visits: Carthage–Sidi Bou Saïd–medina offers a first introduction, while longer breaks require a longer call. Choose a 6 h or 8 h option only if your disembarkation time and all-aboard deadline leave the required safety margin.

    Quick answer

    Sedan 1–4: single flat package of 185 € per vehicle; van 5–8: 250 € package; minibus/coach for 9 or more: 45 € per person + 100 € for an official guide per group. The 6 h or 8 h programme includes transport and visits within that duration, excluding the final 60-minute buffer. Availability and prices are confirmed for your dates, particularly for 2027.

    Start with your actual time ashore, then choose how many places to visit. The Carthage–Sidi Bou Saïd–medina combination is a good introduction; longer breaks require a longer port call.

    6 h and 8 h programmes: choose without compromising your return

    These are suggested programmes, not fixed schedules: durations include travel, visits and breaks. A 6 h excursion requires at least 7 h of usable time after disembarkation and before all aboard; an 8 h option requires at least 9 h. Allow additional time to leave the ship and complete port checks.

    Vehicles and prices: a cruise package, not a price per stop

    The sedan package remains 185 € regardless of the number of places in the confirmed itinerary. The van remains 250 €. For 9 or more travellers, an official guide is compulsory: the 100 € guide fee per group is added once to the 45 € per-person price. Examples: 12 people = 640 €; 30 people = 1 on request. No return-transfer multiplier applies to these packages.

    The service includes an air-conditioned vehicle, driver, fuel, waiting time and return to the port. Site admission and meals are excluded. For a sedan or van, request a separate quotation for an official guide if you would like one.

    Guaranteed return to your ship: our planning rule

    The guaranteed-return commitment is based on the confirmed itinerary and your actual all-aboard deadline, not the ship’s departure time. Your return to the terminal is planned at least 60 minutes before that deadline. Your driver remains dedicated to the group and may shorten or omit a visit if disembarkation or traffic delays the route.

    This is not an unconditional guarantee against every external incident. Do not choose an 8 h programme for an 8 h port call: the team checks feasibility against the ship’s schedule. If anything changes, notify the team immediately and follow the ship’s instructions.
