Since 1984, we have been carefully curating holidays for our customers.

With a passion for innovation, exploration and inspiration, and a wealth of knowledge and experience between us, the Jules Verne team is proud of our multi award-winning service and delighted that our many repeat travellers are enjoying it too.

All our major partners are selling Tunisia as one of the most affordable Mediterranean All-inclusive and family friendly destination! You should know that 80% of the UK bookings are being taken by agents not the internet! Therefore, a fresh basic knowledge about Tunisia would make a huge difference in turning a hard sell into an easy one!
