We are the only travel company to specialize in Star Wars and Indiana Jones tourism in Tunisia. We maintain this refined focus to be the best at what we do. Our professionalism and expertise are authenticated by our status as the only travel company approved by Lucasfilm to exhibit at Star Wars Celebration.

Awarded by Tripadvisor as a Travelers’ Choice winner, our 5-star rating speaks for itself. We immerse travelers into on-location Lucasfilm nostalgia, while seamlessly managing every logistical detail to create engaging, stress-free, end-to-end tourism packages. No one does what we do in the way that we do it.

Exact set, scene, and sequence placement know-how at each Star Wars and Indiana Jones film site in Tunisia matched with franchise production details, original discoveries, unrivaled behind-the-scenes insight, and in-depth historical context embody the Galaxy Tours difference. Our trailblazing pursuit to uncover Lucasfilm location scout activity distinguishes our tours as the first to incorporate verified Star Wars recce sites in Tunisia. All itinerary destinations are linked to Star Wars or Indiana Jones franchise activity.

Yes. We are a registered tour operator in Tunisia approved by the Tunisian National Tourism Office (ONTT) to conduct tours.

Ensuring that local Tunisian communities benefit from Star Wars and Indiana Jones tourism is foundational to our company. Our marketing efforts enhance Tunisia’s profile as the optimal off-the-beaten-path tourist destination. We bring clients to local hotels, restaurants, and transportation services. We train, develop, and generate work for local Tunisian guides. Partnering directly with local entities, we provide financial support, targeted research, and collaborative outreach to assist in the restoration/preservation of Star Wars sites in Tunisia as historical landmarks of worldwide cultural value.

Yes. Traveling to all Star Wars and Indiana Jones locations in Tunisia is unquestionably safe. All areas visited on our tours fall well beyond official travel advisory specifications. Petty crime targeting tourists is rare. The Tunisian proclivity to embrace, accept, and protect international visitors is both genuine and ingratiating. International media outlets—especially since the cluster of mass-casualty attacks in Tunis and near Sousse in 2015—routinely paint Tunisia as a hotbed for radical Islamic extremism. This perception is fundamentally false.

The overwhelming majority of Tunisians interpret terrorism to be in direct conflict with Tunisian ideals and values. Pivotal security developments since 2016 to thwart Islamist activity in Tunisia continue to drastically minimize the probability of future large-scale terrorist attacks inside the country. The current security challenge posed by organized Islamist groups based in Tunisia mirrors a low-impact insurgency combating Tunisian security forces rather than a protracted terrorist campaign. These militant groups, relatively small in number with no capacity to seize control of any populated territory, operate autonomously in northwestern Tunisia, primarily in isolated mountainous areas in the Kasserine and Kef governorates. In regard to ISIS-inspired/politically motivated “lone wolves,” the probability of a single-actor attack in Tunisia is no greater than the rate of such attacks in European countries.

Yes. Star Wars and Indiana Jones locations in Tunisia are innately visit-worthy due to their inherent value as essential Tunisian cultural/heritage landmarks, to include UNESCO-designated sites on Djerba island and in the Kairouan medina.

Yes. Everyone. Catered to tourists, business travelers, expats, and residents alike, our day trips in Tunisia are the perfect complement to cultural get-aways in Tunis; beach holidays in Bizerte, Hammamet, Sousse, or Monastir; island stays on Djerba; or desert escapes in Tozeur.

Yes. Our day trips can function as unique corporate/government team-building opportunities. Please contact us for additional information and special group rates.

All day trip packages include: private half-day or full-day itinerary in Tunisia (length depends on the selected package), specialized Galaxy Tours guide, and exclusive digital reference material. Depending on the selected package, the price might also include: air-conditioned ground transportation with professional driver(s), coordinated pick-up/drop-off, adventure elements (ATV activity, foothills hiking, and/or canyon hiking), special events, and/or lunch.

Our day trip packages do not include: non-itinerary travel/activities, meals (unless specified in package details), lodging, medical expenses, additional product taxes (if applicable), personal travel insurance, passport fees, visa fees (if required), snacks/drinks, alcoholic beverages, personal activities, personal spending, or tips (optional).

Yes. All of our day trips are private tours bookable year round on any day of the week to fit your schedule.

No. We welcome parties of all sizes, to include solo travelers. Groups smaller than 3 adult travelers (baseline price) will pay the equivalent to 3 adult travelers. The exception is our ATV day trip for which a single supplement charge is added for one-person bookings.

Online bookings must be made at least 3 days in advance of the day trip start date. Please contact us directly to confirm options for last-minute bookings less than 3 days in advance.

Of course. Anything is possible. Contact us to share specifics about your ideal day trip. Be sure to include the following: (1) start point/end point, (2) travel date, (3) must-see sites/experiences, and (4) budget parameters. We’ll take it from there to see what we can do to make it happen.

Djerba and Tozeur airports are closest to the Star Wars locations in southern Tunisia. Djerba-Zarzis Airport (DJE) schedules direct flights year-round to/from numerous European destinations via Lufthansa, Air France, Swiss Air, Tunisair, and several other airlines. Tunisair Express domestic flights between Djerba and Tunis-Carthage Airport (TUN) run multiple times every day of the year; only the morning flight is reliable to arrive on time. Tozeur-Nefta Airport (TOE) services direct international flights only from Paris (Orly) via Transavia a few times each week from October to March. Tunisair Express domestic flights between Tozeur and Tunis are scheduled a few times each week throughout the year; only the Sunday flight is reasonably reliable to not be postponed or canceled. All in all, Djerba is the optimal access airport for Star Wars tourism in Tunisia.

There is never a bad time of year for our day trips. That said, the heat index in southern/central Tunisia during June, July, and August can rise well above 40°C/105°F. We adjust our day trip schedules during these summer months to incorporate earlier start times to avoid high afternoon heat. Late fall, winter, and early spring provide the most pleasant outdoor temperatures for our day trips.

Our tours are fully operational during Ramadan. We encourage our guests to be considerate of the decision to participate in Ramadan fasting by our Tunisian team members. Due to limited tourism services, we do not conduct tours on New Year’s Day (January 1), Tunisian Independence Day (March 20), Eid al-Fitr (end of Ramadan), or Eid al-Adha.

No. Tunisians practice a very tolerant version of Islam. Although the traditional dress for females includes a headscarf, Tunisian society accepts all forms of fashion. Modern dress standards are embraced as a common part of daily life.

Seasonal, climate-appropriate clothing should be worn on the tours. During warmer months, it is best to wear a breathable long-sleeved shirt, pants, head and neck covering, plus sunscreen. During colder months, we recommend a combination of interchangeable shirt/sweater/jacket layers and pants.

Proactive, timely, responsive communication is our calling card at every stage of the customer-focused tourism we create. From initial contact up through the end of your tour and beyond, we genuinely view our clients as our friends. No question is too small. No request is too large. Transparent communication via email, Facebook Messenger, or Whatsapp is a core part of our company DNA.

Galaxy Tours CEO (Davin Anderson) personally selects and trains each Tunisian guide invited to join our team. The comprehensive training—conducted on-location and reinforced remotely—includes: scene-by-scene navigation at all Galaxy Tours itinerary sites, Tunisia-specific Lucasfilm production history, behind-the-scenes filming anecdotes, Star Wars lore deep-dive discussions, Indiana Jones historical contextualization, and Q&A film viewing sessions. All of our guides are accredited/licensed to conduct tours in Tunisia. Each guide is professional, caring, charismatic, and uniquely expert at what we do.

The next-level tourism experience we provide includes exclusive digital reference material specific to each Star Wars and Indiana Jones film site in Tunisia. Each member of your group will be granted access to this Galaxy Tours proprietary content—made available offline via the Galaxy Tours app—for your day trip. Our reference guides meticulously cover all historical, behind-the-scenes, and frame-by-frame visual details at each site, to include maps with pinpoint locations for each scene. We’ve done all the heavy lifting. All the research. All the field work. We created these “secret sauce” documents as part of our commitment to give our guests the ultimate fandom adventure in Tunisia.

All tours are conducted in English as the standard. French, German, Italian, and Arabic options are available per request for certain day trips (subject to availability). Please contact us for more information. Galaxy Tours digital reference material is provided only in English.

Yes. We craft a professional, personalized itinerary for each booked tour. You can expect to receive your day trip itinerary in softcopy .pdf format 7 days prior to the start of your Outer Rim Experience.

We spent over four years conducting meticulous research and field work to create our website as the authoritative, one-stop resource on all Star Wars and Indiana Jones locations in Tunisia. Each location has its own dedicated page on our website under the Film Sites or Scouted Sites menu tabs.

Yes. Our Luke & Anakin package includes an unforgettable blue milk break in the subterranean Lars Homestead dining room set at Hotel Sidi Idriss. Sipping blue milk in the exact spot where Luke did the same is as immersive as it gets.

Yes. Absolutely. Our tours are the perfect fandom excursion for any cosplayer. The more cosplay outfits, the better. Blasters and similar cosplay weapons should be left at home. Although never guaranteed, lightsabers are typically permitted into Tunisia after clearing an added layer of airport scrutiny. Be prepared to show airport officials your Galaxy Tours itinerary to facilitate the process.

It depends. Any traveler under 18 years old must be accompanied by an adult. We do not recommend our full-day trips for children age 11 and below. Please contact us for exceptions.

Yes, with exceptions. Although most day trip destinations permit direct vehicle drop-off on flat terrain, some locations require movement on uneven/rocky/sandy surfaces. Hiking in Star Wars Canyon might be too strenuous for guests with mobility challenges. Not suitable for wheelchairs or scooters. Please contact us for case-by-case considerations.

Online check-out offers travelers the option to either pay in full or submit a 35% deposit to secure a booking. If the down payment option is selected, the full balance for your Outer Rim Experience is due no later than 3 days prior to the day trip start date, payable via a secure link (sent separately).
