5.00My visit to Algiers was very pleasant. I really liked the Casbah and its beautiful sea view, as well as the traditional food which is really delicious. The city has a lot of history and a unique atmosphere. I also recommend Riwaya Travel, a very good agency that organizes trips professionally.
Great discovery with Riwaya Travel, great team and really easy to follow, I loved it!

5.00Algiers is a city full of life and colors. Walking through the Casbah and admiring the ancient architecture is a unique experience. We then enjoyed a delicious lunch with fresh fish while admiring the sea, everything was perfectly organized thanks to the Riwaya Travel agency, with efficient and warm service. A visit that I highly recommend:)
Great comprehensive tour of Algier's must-see sites, with great commentary throughout

5.00This was a very comprehensive tour of Algier. While much more expensive than doing your own self-tour, if you only have a day or two in Algier, it is the better option to avoid getting lost in the casbah, not really knowing which place is open and not really knowing how to interpret all the history (because the government is not doing a great job of featuring all of these sites). We pretty much saw all there is to see in Algier. Our guide, Rym, was very friendly and knowledgeable. I was very relaxed. Since there was only the 2 of us, there was a lot of flexibility to tailor the visit to our taste. Since it was during Ramadan, we did not get a lunch nor drinks during the tour, which I would sort of expected it to be credited (since we were told they would still be offered) All-in-all, highly recommended.
Beautiful discoveries

1.00Just awful, booked 3 weeks before trip date, ignored messages the day before, don’t show up for trip & ignore Viator too. There’s an alternative trip called “Best of Algiers Tour by Algeriatours16” … they tried to help us out on the day with a replacement trip, super helpful & respond on WhatsApp in a minute …. avoid Riwaya Travel & this trip
4-day getaway to Algiers and Tipaza, an experience to do again!

5.00We spent 4 memorable days in Algiers and Tipaza thanks to Amina, our Exceptional Guide. In Algiers, between the Casbah, the Essay Garden and the Basilica of Our Lady of Africa, every moment was a fascinating dive into history and culture. The visit to Tipaza, with its Roman ruins overlooking the sea, was simply magical. Amina shared her passion with such clarity and enthusiasm that we were completely immersed. If you are looking to discover authentic Algeria in a short time, this tour with Amina is a perfect choice! Many thanks for amina

Amazing week-long stay in and around Algiers
Glema92,Aug 2, 2024
- Review from Tripadvisor
5.00With my 92-year-old mother and my 25-year-old daughter, we made an incredible week-long stay in and around Algiers. We lived extraordinary moments and very rich in emotion thanks to the agency Riwaya Travel which made this trip possible, to Sadek, colorful character who showed us the casbah and Bab El Oued, and especially thanks to Zinou, our driver, guide, Sherlock Holmes who knows Algiers as his pocket, accompanied us during these 6 days and allowed us to find all the places that my mom wanted to see again, and the list was long! So yes Algiers is a polluted and noisy city but everyone we met was incredibly kind and welcoming. "Welcome to Algeria or Welcome home" were always their first words. And Algiers and its surroundings are of definite tourist interest. Algiers is a happy mix of Ottoman palaces, Hausmannian-style buildings and Muslim architecture with its mosques. And the monastery of Tibhirine, the ruins of Tipasa or the tomb of the Christian are definitely worth a visit, not to mention the delicious cuisine we enjoyed during our stay. I sincerely recommend anyone who wants to (re)discover this beautiful country to make this trip with Riwaya and Zinou, we came back enthusiastic!
