5.00The driver and the guide arrived precisely on time. They were both very friendly and the guide very knowledgeable. There is nothing I would complain except for the rain, but that is not company's fault :) If I'm in Algeria in the future, I'll definitely use their services again.

5.00For a person who's interested in Roman ruin but not so much of a history buff like myself, the day tour to Timgad was very well arranged. The guide spoke good English and was very professional. He introduced me the culture of Algeria and explained the history of Timgad. I specially liked the restaurant they took me for lunch, where I tried very nice local food.
An amazing tour to Timgad

5.00My private tour to Timgad was amazing. Bilel was my guide and he was fantastic. Knowledgeable on the history of Timgad and the surrounding area. The tour was paced well and was not rushed at all. They picked me up at the airport and we drove to the site. Bilel explained the history and unique aspects of what we were seeing. He was the best. Then we had a delicious lunch at a local place that was so enjoyable. After this we went to the mausoleum of Nimidie and then to the Constantine airport for departure. I will return for sure and request Bilel again.

5.00On begin of December i made my trip to Algeria. I travel mostly on my own but for several topics of my trip I used the services of Fancyellow Trvael Agency - trips to Timgad, Cherchell-Tipasa and in cooperation with local agency Mouflon to Tamanrasset - Assekrem. All the services were really excellent with experienced drivers and very knowledgable guides speaking English very well. Also all persons of the agency I met were very helpfull and hospitable. I can surely reccommend the services of agency Fancyellow, they really improve your experiences from Algeria.
