点评:The short review is - Yes, take this tour!
The longer review: I had always wanted to visit Tunisia, not only to see the country itself, but above all to experience the Star Wars filming sites which I had only read about online.
I met Davin Anderson, the founder of Galaxy Tours, at SW Celebration in Japan. I signed up for the 50th Anniversary Group Tour, but to be honest, I wasn’t completely sure what to expect going in.
I’m happy to say that the tour blew me away. Davin’s attention to detail, depth of research, prepared materials, and engaging manner of presentation had the entire group hooked throughout. In particular, it was his explanations of how he discovered the scouted locations (not even used in the final films) that made it obvious how much passion and time he had devoted to researching the background behind the various films’ production.
The whole tour culminated in a day-long ATV ride across the desert flats to the iconic Lars Homestead, where his son (a virtuoso on the piano) freestyled a concert for us, while we watched the sunset… this was a moment I will carry with me for a long time.
As an added bonus - all the boutique hotels, included meals, and additional guides/driver present on the tour were excellent. They gave me a new insight into Tunisian hospitality and culture, and I appreciated the guides’ commentary about Tunisian/Berber history as we drove towards various sites.
Above all, I left with a newfound respect towards George Lucas, the Star Wars mythos, and everyone who helped a galaxy far, far away come to life in the first place. All thanks to Davin and Galaxy Tours. I encourage you to book one of their tours and hope that you too will have another happy landing!

翻译:简短评价——没错,一定要参加这个旅行团!
详细评价:我一直都想去突尼斯,不仅是为了亲眼看看这个国家,更重要的是亲身感受一下那些我之前只在网上听说过的《星球大战》拍摄地。
我在日本的星球大战庆典上遇到了Galaxy Tours的创始人戴文·安德森。我报名参加了50周年纪念旅行团,但说实话,出发前我并不确定会是什么样的体验。
我很高兴地说,这次旅行让我惊喜不已。戴文对细节的关注、深入的研究、精心准备的资料以及引人入胜的讲解方式,让整个旅行团的成员都全神贯注。尤其令人印象深刻的是,他讲述了自己如何发现那些勘景地点(甚至最终没有出现在电影里),这让我深刻感受到他为研究各部电影的幕后制作投入了多少热情和时间。
整个旅程的高潮是乘坐全地形车穿越沙漠平原,前往标志性的拉尔斯庄园。在那里,他的儿子(一位钢琴演奏家)为我们即兴演奏了一曲,我们则欣赏着落日余晖……这一刻我将永远铭记于心。
更令人惊喜的是,所有精品酒店、包含的餐食以及随行的导游/司机都非常棒。他们让我对突尼斯的热情好客和文化有了全新的认识,导游在前往各个景点的途中讲解突尼斯/柏柏尔人的历史,也让我受益匪浅。
最重要的是,我对乔治·卢卡斯、《星球大战》系列以及所有为这个遥远星系的诞生做出贡献的人们肃然起敬。这一切都要感谢达文和银河之旅。我强烈推荐您预订他们的旅行团,也希望您能拥有一次美好的旅程!
