Simon Calder has said it's safe - and on this morning's BBC News said he'd happily take his family.
I put a lot of stock into what Simon Calder says, so if he hays it's safe, then that's good enough for me - that is if I was interested in going to North Africa. Having has the Worst Holiday Ever in Egypt a few years ago, safe or not I wouldn't holiday in North Africa again if the holiday was free).

I am not if anywhere can be described as 100% safe.
I would like to return to Tunisia, but I'm not sure if it would be a good idea.
I recall seeing British people being interviewed after the 2015 event, and some of them were very unhappy about having to return home, despite 30 Brit tourist having been murdered a couple of days before.
Such a pity, as the country is wonderful, the people are very welcoming, and the Roman ruins almost unbeatable.

If the travel advice says it's OK and UK flights are returning then the risk must have been assessed and it's now deemed acceptably safe to return. Mud sticks of course and if , God forbid, tourists were shot on a beach in Greece say then people would stop going there for ages too.
Personally I wouldn't want to go to Tunisia but I'm a worrier.

While I enjoyed my trip there a few years ago, I am not sure I would want to go to a place where I had to be surrounded by armed Police, just to be able to sit on the beach. It doesn't sound very relaxing to me, especially where there are plenty of other places to holiday in where there isn't the same threat.
Look at a map. Tunisia is a small nation with long & uncontrolled land borders to Algeria to the West and Libya to the East.
Libya is home to large number of Warlords who each control their own section of land, what government there is is ineffective and has no control over the Warlords. Algeria is very little better.
It would not be my choice for a holiday.

Dayy...when I was there, we went on a four-wheel drive safari for a day and a half into the mountains and I am pretty sure that it was through the areas that are still at risk.
We definitely went across a huge salt lake and stayed the night at an oasis. And we went to the area that was used to film Star Wars.
Wonderful scenery.

Look at the map to see how small Tunisia is and how long the uncontrolled borders are.
