Journey from the might of ancient Rome to the realm of science fiction as we explore Tunisia’s most magnificent sites. Beginning among imperial ruins where African and Roman cultures collided, we’ll walk through remarkably preserved cities that showcase the height of ancient engineering and art.
Our path then leads deep into the Sahara, where the dramatic desert landscapes that inspired George Lucas’s vision reveal how our own world can feel as alien and wondrous as any fantasy. Whether tracing ancient footsteps or filming locations, each stop on this unique adventure promises to transport you far beyond the ordinary.
As we plan the final details of the trip, we want to make sure it’s a trip that you want to take and something that our audience can afford.
From ultra-luxury to backpacking, we can include 5-star hotels or simple accommodations.
The trip is likely to be about 1-week, include some meals, all hotels, all activities, but not flights.

Common questions and answers about traveling to Spain and Andalucia.
Flights to Málaga from Europe are quite cheap, as it’s one of the continent’s top vacation destinations.
Flights to Málaga from the United States are reasonable, often the same or only slightly more expensive than flights to major hubs.
From the East Coast, you can expect to pay $600-1000 for a round-trip flight, if you’re leaving from a major city. Flights from major West Coast cities will range from $900-1300 for (round-trip). The Midwest is usually between those two ranges, and there can be large variations when flying out of smaller airports.
We are happy to help you find the best flight option and even how to best utilize miles & points!
Our trips are designed to be intimate and avoid the giant coach buses that many people think of when they think of “guided tours.”
Trips have 6 people at a minimum, with group sizes maxing out at around 12 depending on the trip.
The official age range is 25-40, so if you’re in that, great! We’re not for 21-year-olds who want to party every night of the trip. But we’re still for people who like to have a good time (and maybe party one night of the trip!).
More than the age range, the trip is not designed for retiree-aged travelers. Families are welcome, but children are not allowed.
Booking a trip typically requires just a $500 deposit, but we may run sales or specials. We require 50% of the remaining cost to be paid 60 days before departure and 100% to be paid 30 days before departure.
Our booking software will prompt you to pay before each of those deadlines. At the time we don’t offer monthly installments, but you can pay each of those payments before the due date in order to spread out the cost more.
This trip to Spain is moderately physically demanding. What does that mean you ask?
Cities we visit are often steep and strenuous to get around. Hiking is an activity (though not required) and those with a baseline level of physical fitness will be able to partake in those activities more.
Moderately does not mean you need to be a super-athlete. If you can walk around a city for a few hours and walk up a hill, you’re good to go!
If you have physical limitations or disabilities, please contact us to learn more and see how we can accommodate you.
