What To Expect
Musee Public National de Cherchell
Our visit begins with the ancient museum in the esplanade known as "Martyrs' Square" which houses a rich collection of statuary, mosaics, funerary tombs, relics and invites you on a journey into the history of Cherchell.
Then we cross the national road from the esplanade where we can see the mosque of "El Rahman" of a somewhat unusual architecture that resembles an ancient temple with Ionic capitals.

5.00This tour combines the best of picture postcard Mediterranean coast with a beautiful and fascinating array of historical sites and artefacts. The small museum at Cherchell holds some impressive Roman sculptures and mosaics. Most of the ancient architecture in the town has disappeared but the place has a lovely, sleepy fishing village atmosphere, and the ancient town at Tipaza is extensive, well preserved and very pleasant to stroll around. The experience wouldn't have been nearly as good without our knowledgeable and amusing Fancyellow guide, Zaki, who not only made the history come alive but also gave us some great tips on the local food and beverages. (Fans of literature, don't miss the modest memorial stela honouring Albert Camus, at the far edge of the Tipaza site.)

5.00Great 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.

5.00I 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.

5.00Fantastic 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.

5.00I 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!

5.00We 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
