I found this tour and guide to be exceptional. The guide was very knowledgeable and seemed to really enjoy her job. I have visited numerous antient sites and Tapiza is now very high on list of favorites. If you want a chance to take some great pictures, this is a must, even if you not into ruins. This place is absolutely beautiful. I highly recommend this tour.

I had a wonderful time - my guide went above and beyond to look after me, and the sights I was shown were stunning. Fancyellow sorted everything for me so the whole day ran smoothly. Would very highly recommend for a trip to Algeria!

Great tour through amazing sites. Traveled solo as a woman and felt very safe the entire time. Operators were very accommodating of a last minute schedule change on my side.

Great Day Outside of the City

Noha was excellent. She could not have better. I would recommend her for any tour in Algeria. Just superb.

Lovely trip to Tipaza and Cherchell

Saloua_S, Oct 2025
Fantastic trip! Beautiful scenery on the way, exquisite roman ruins with a view of the mediterranean. I was impressed with the Mausoleum built in honor of Cleopatra's daughter by her loving husband. Very sweet and warm people in both Cherchell and Tipaza. Got to eat delicious authentic couscous in a quaint restaurant and bought some fresh produce from the local market. My guide, Mourad and the driver, Abdou were very sweet and cultivated. I highly recommend this outing.

Super guide, super route and super food

Larisa_L, Oct 2025
We really liked the tour and the stops we made. In each location we were long enough and also we had enough time to relax, eat,.. Leyla is knowledgeable and curious. She picked a fantastic restaurant for us, visited mainly by the locals. Special kudos to the driver, Rashid. There are many crazy drivers in Algeria, it was the first time we really felt safe on the road since we arrived.

Amazing day out

Zainab_G, Sep 2025
Islam was always on time. Zaki very good. Patient, and lots of knowledge. Both of them were with me on two tours. City of algers and tipaza and cherchel. Really enjoyed.

Well worth the price

Lloyd_R, Dec 2024
I did not realise this was a 1-1 tour with just yourself, the guide, and driver, and for the information and sights you got to visit in this long day makes it incredibly worth it. Jasmin was an excellent guide and the sites themselves were breathtaking. Jasmin also provided excellent food recommendations and made the entire day a fun and worthwhile experience.

Great day in Cherchell and Tipaza

Laura_W, Dec 2024
Extremely knowledgeable guide for Cherchell and the Roman ruins of Tipaza. Fantastic tour for a day!

Thank you for such an authentic experience

Mohammed_A, Nov 2024
The trip sincerely exceeded my expectations. Very beautiful country, culture, people and a perfect balance of nature and archeological heritage, and above all a very nice, informative and authentic tour guide Riad. Riad passionately took me through a very nice experience, thank you. Would definitely recommend and would definitely be my go to for my next trip. Merci!

I can rate as a MUST in a trip to Algers ( and I had a very short one)

FranciscoJose_C, Nov 2024
Views pf Roman city and the Mediterranean are outstanding, nice stpp in Cherchell ( Cesarea) totally different from Algers. Memorial to Cleopatra’s daughter is the cherry on the pie 100% recomendable.

A nice cultural day trip

Rafe_Y, Oct 2024
I was picked up on time by a taxi driver who operates on behalf of Fancyyellow. He was talkative and a nice person. We picked up Othmane the official guide on our way to Cherchell, which also was our first station. We visited a museum for ancient statues. This was a fascinating experience, Othmane was knowledgeable and could comment in nearly all of the statues. We also tried to visit a mosque which was unfortunately closed. Our 2nd place was ancient Tipaza, with all of the roman buildings. I could only state the same opinion as the stay in Cherchell. Then I had a lunch with a recommendation of Othmane, I took my time for it, so there was no rush at all. After Othmane left I visited my last station (Mausoleum of Mauretania) an UNESCO-Sight. I could also take my time as my driver waited outside. After I headed back to the car, he brought me back to my Hotel. To cut this to the chase: A must-see trip to see the rich ancient culture of Algeria.

Informative, Friendly, Safe

Lydia_G, Aug 2024
We had a very knowledgeable and kind local tour guide. He provided us with a lot of history on the sites visited. They were able to get a vegetarian lunch for us and make some great recommendations for Algiers. We were two women and felt very safe. Would definitely recommend! An amazing day.

An Amazing Day!

Ellen_L, Jan 2024
An absolutely lovely day! The itinerary was perfect. The process was smooth and the driver was great. My guide, Luna, was AMAZING! We had such a fun day. I highly recommend this!!

Very Good Tour of Tipasa

Jared_F, Oct 2023
This is a very good tour of Tipasa and Cherchell. Both beautiful towns (especially Tipasa) and worth a visit if you’re in Algiers. The Roman ruins are stunning. My tour guide (Islam) and driver (Ahmad) were great. Islam was knowledgeable, personable, and spoke English well. I learned about Roman, Phoenician, and Algerian history. Suggestion: try to be a bit more enthusiastic about the topic your teaching, students and tourists will respond in kind. :) Wonderful to see a beautiful country with great people!

Great day trip

grainnekilroy, Dec 2022
Wonderful day trip with excellent hosts, I messaged Omar before the tour to confirm everything and he was very prompt, the ruins were excellent and the mausoleum was amazing! Highly recommend this trip to everyone

AMELMALIKA_B, Nov 2022
Amazing tour by an amazing tour guide! the tour was on schedule, and we were well informed about the whole visit and tour. highly recommend

Great day trip with great guide

michael_s, Nov 2021
Driving around the vicinity of Algiers City with Omar was a great experience. Omar is very knowledgeable and a pleasure to be with. He made the trip insightful and gave me the possibility to get close the Algerean people, their culture and history Highly recommend and i would Call Omar as the first person next time I go to Algeria

highly recommended

I had a private tour with Amin. He was very friendly, respectful and could tell a lot about everything. Everything was perfectly organized and I didn't have to worry about anything. He adapted the tour to my individual wishes. We were traveling from 9-14 o'clock as little traffic and lunch skipped at my request. I had an emotional moment in Tipasa from emotion (Camus place), Amin's human & respectful nature made it possible to share the moment.

Super plek voor een mooie dagtocht

Johannes_V, Apr 2024
Erg leuke site. Prachtig gelegen in de bossen aan de zee. Maar het leukste was onze gids Luna die alle stenen tot leven bracht.

ティパサ&シェルシェルツアー

Yoshimi_K, Feb 2024
私はローマ式のモザイクが大好きなのでティパサ&シェルシェルツアーに参加しました。ひとりで郊外へ行くことには不安がありましたが、運転手もガイドさんもとても親切で、安心して過ごせました。ガイドさんしか知らない、普段は隠れているモザイクも見せて頂き、感激して帰ってきました。ティパサの海は美しく、魚が新鮮で、とても美味しいランチでした。おすすめです。有難うございました。
