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. All Star Wars and Indiana Jones locations in Tunisia are innately visit-worthy due to their inherent value as essential Tunisian landmarks, to include UNESCO-designated sites on Djerba island and in the Kairouan medina. Travelers of all types will value the Tunisian heritage, cultural experiences, fine dining, and premium resort accommodations weaved into the fabric of our tours.

Yes. All of our multi-day packages are all-inclusive with a few standard exceptions. Rest assured that all itinerary-specific lodging, meals, activities, entrance fees, and transport as well as a specialized Galaxy Tours guide, professional driver, and exclusive reference material are included in the cost of each package. No surprises. We promise.

Our multi-day tour packages do not include: international airfare to/from Tunisia, travel to tour start points and/or beyond tour end points, non-itinerary activities, medical expenses, personal travel insurance, passport fees, visa fees (if required), additional product taxes (if applicable), additional meals, snacks, alcoholic beverages, personal activities, personal spending, or tips (optional).

Our private tours, bookable year round for any date range to match your preference, are led by a member of the Galaxy Tours guide team, consisting of accredited Tunisian guides personally selected and trained by Galaxy Tours CEO (Davin Anderson). Our group tours, usually scheduled once a year, are led first-hand by Davin with additional special experiences.

No. We welcome parties of all sizes, to include solo travelers.

Our business model obligates a single supplement charge for one-person private tour bookings. There is no single supplement charge for solo travelers who join a group tour. In such cases, solo travelers will be paired together for lodging purposes.

Participation for both types of multi-day tours (private and group) is generally capped at 30 travelers. Some exceptions apply.

Online bookings must be made at least 7 days in advance of the tour start date. Please contact us directly to confirm options for last-minute bookings less than 7 days in advance.

Of course. Anything is possible. Contact us to share specifics about your ideal itinerary. Be sure to include the following: (1) start point/end point, (2) travel dates/tour duration, (3) must-see sites/experiences (to include non-Lucasfilm locations if desired), 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, easyJet, 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.

All of the Star Wars film sites in Tunisia are located in the south, spanning the width of the country from remote Saharan landscapes in the southwest to historic hilltop landmarks in the southeast coupled with coastal sites on Djerba island. A minimum of three days is required to fully explore all 12 sites.

There is never a bad time of year for our Twin Suns Expeditions. That said, the heat index in southern/central Tunisia during June, July, August and even September can rise well above 40°C/105°F. As much as possible, we adjust our tour activities during these summer months to incorporate earlier start times, breaks during the afternoon heat, and extended evening hours. Late fall, winter, and early spring provide the most pleasant outdoor temperatures for our tours.

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 and local staff at partner hotels and restaurants. 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 all the way to the safe arrival home 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 the duration of your tour. 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 (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 tour itinerary in softcopy .pdf format 10 days prior to the start of your Twin Suns Expedition.

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. This is one of the highlights baked into all of our multi-day tours (both private and group). Although a rustic lodging option, overnighting at Hotel Sidi Idriss (Lars Homestead interior film site) in Matmata is a must-do experience for Star Wars fans. The hotel provides separate bedrooms with a communal restroom area. Sipping blue milk at breakfast in the subterranean Lars Homestead dining room set is as immersive as it gets.

Yes. The unquestionable climax of each multi-day tour (both private and group) is the nostalgia-inducing experience to reenact Luke’s “binary sunset” scene at the Lars Homestead exterior film site on Chott el-Djerid. We spend about one hour before sunset on the salt flats set to prepare for this once-in-a-lifetime event in the exact place where it all began.

Yes. Absolutely. Our tours are the perfect fandom excursion for any cosplayer. Up to two outfits per day are possible for private tours. Only one outfit per day is permitted for group tours. Additional fees may apply for oversized luggage. 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.

Not advisable. It is prohibited to operate drones in Tunisia without official approval. The law applies to residents and travelers alike. If you pack a drone in your luggage, Tunisian authorities will likely confiscate your drone at the airport for the duration of your stay in the country.

We partner with a hand-picked cadre of boutique hotels/resorts to ensure maximum comfort paired with exotic ambience and genuine hospitality in premium accommodations on each of our multi-day tours (both private and group). Our lodging partner in Tunis operates two 4-star multi-story historic mansions situated directly in the medina close to the pedestrian souk shopping streets. Our two lodging partners on Djerba island are 4-star historic Djerbahood mansions in Erriadh with upscale traditional rooms, common courtyard areas, and outdoor pool(s). Our lodging partner in Nefta is a one-of-a-kind 5-star eco-resort with retro design, a trendy vibe, geothermal-heated outdoor pool, and spacious stand-alone rooms overlooking the fertile date palm oasis below. We share hotel names and other specific lodging details after bookings are confirmed.

We partner with top-notch Tunisian transportation vendors for travel to/from all itinerary locations, to include airport transfers (as required). Travelers ride in comfortable, air-conditioned SUV or microbus vehicles with professional driver(s). Vehicle type depends on the size of the group.

Our 4-Day and 6-Day packages include an action-packed outing on ATV “landspeeders” to each Star Wars film site located in the desert/salt flat areas near Nefta. Adult guests can choose to drive their own ATV or ride with a co-traveler. All passengers should be at least 12 years old. If health restrictions or other considerations restrict ATV travel, alternate transportation will be provided with a slightly adjusted itinerary on the scheduled ATV day.

It depends. Any traveler under 18 years old must be accompanied by an adult. We do not recommend our private tours for children under 12. Please contact us for exceptions. Children under 12 are not permitted on our group tours.

It depends. Although most itinerary stops permit direct vehicle drop-off on flat terrain, several locations require movement on uneven/rocky/sandy surfaces. Hiking in Star Wars Canyon particularly is likely too strenuous for guests with mobility restrictions. Wheelchair or scooter use is especially challenging. Private tours allow for some degree of adaptability. Group tours are significantly limited in terms of accessibility modifications. Please contact us for case-by-case considerations.

Yes. We offer a 10% group discount for bookings with at least five adults. In addition, we offer 15% off for youth (ages 12-17) traveling with at least one adult. All discounts are automatically calculated at check-out.

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 private tours is due no later than 7 days prior to the tour start date; full balance for group tours is due no later than 30 days prior to the tour start date. Follow-on payments are made via a secure link (sent separately).

Foreign nationals from roughly 100 countries can enter Tunisia for a limited duration without obtaining a visa. The visa-exempt status depends on the nationality of the visitor and differs between 30 to 120 days.

The following vaccinations are recommended (not required): chickenpox (varicella), COVID-19, hepatitis A, hepatitis B, influenza, measles, meningitis, mumps and rubella (MMR), pneumonia, polio, rabies, shingles, Tdap (tetanus, diphtheria and pertussis), and typhoid. Yellow fever vaccination certificate not required. Contracting malaria in Tunisia is low risk.

Yes. Following standard practice within the tourism industry, all travelers are required to sign a separate Twin Suns Expedition agreement/liability waiver to participate in any multi-day tour (private or group).

Inclement weather, strikes, civil disturbances, or other unforeseeable circumstances might restrict access to certain itinerary locations, partially hinder specific tour activities, and/or cause delays. We reserve the right to make any itinerary adjustments to ensure the comfort and safety of all travelers. No discounts or refunds will be offered in such cases.

All amounts paid for your private tour (minus payment transaction fees) will be refunded for cancellations made at least 15 days prior to the tour start date. 50% of amounts paid (minus payment transaction fees) will be refunded for cancellations made between 7 to 15 days prior to the tour start date.
