Ruines Romaines Tipaza

Tipasa presents a separate ruin: not everything has been cleared, and a large part of the city, explored by Stéphane Gsell in 1891, is still under sediment. In its current state, the remains form two large collections. The first is located outside the walls, at the current entrance to the city, on the right side of the road coming from Algiers, corresponding to a large necropolis and the Sainte-Salsa cathedral. The second is the archaeological park, located at the western exit of the modern city, which includes most of the monuments unearthed.

We had scheduled the tour for 8am but our plane was cancelled due to bad weather in Paris so we missed the hotel night and the next flight to Algeria, we talked to the Algerian tour company to see if you could do the tour later to reach and not lose it and were very kind to modify our booking, we had also not eaten anything and even with the delay they gave us the time to take us to eat something typical, Ahmed our guide explained in detail the whole story of Tipaza, the day was very rainy and even lent us a raincoat for my husband, the weather reached us very well to fulfill the itinerary......

I had a great trip with my guide Raouf to Tipaza. We had a nice lunch in one of the fish restaurants that line the road in the town centre and then to the Roman ruins (with another local guide arranged by Raouf and included in the price). My flight was cancelled and i was able to contact Raouf and the Raya team in advance. They were flexible and helpful. Good English spoken. Overall, great experience.
Excellent day trip

A really exciting and interesting tour. Both the Roman Ruins of Tipaza and Mausoleum of Mauritania are a must-see when visiting this region of Algeria. The pick-up was nice and easy from our hotel in Algiers, and our guide Jasmine was friendly and a very safe driver. After visiting the ruins, we had lunch at Le Dauphin, Tipaza; the food was fresh and delicious and there were a lot of options to choose from. This tour was truly brilliant and included so much. Highly recommend!
