Overview

Your tour begins in front of the iconic Municipal Theater, a perfect starting point in the heart of Tunis. From there, your guide will lead you to the Marché Central, where you’ll dive into the colors and aromas of Tunisian cuisine, tasting fresh dates, traditional local cheese, and discovering the key ingredients that make up the soul of Tunisian cooking. You’ll also get to try bsisa, one of Tunisia’s most ancient and beloved flavors.

Next, you’ll make your way to a local restaurant for a steaming bowl of lablabi, the ultimate Tunisian street comfort food, followed by a plate of kafteji, a classic made from fried vegetables and eggs.

The tour then takes you deep into the Medina, where the narrow alleyways are lined with history and flavor. Here you’ll indulge in some of Tunisia’s most iconic sweets like makrouth, zouza, and more. The food adventure continues with a fresh Tunisian salad, warm traditional bread, a crispy brik, and a fricassée sandwich that locals can’t get enough of.

The tour ends on a high note with a warm glass of Tunisian tea enjoyed with a breathtaking panoramic view over the Medina rooftops. The perfect ending to an unforgettable taste of Tunis.
