A Wonderful Journey Through History and Nature

5.00Through this tour, I had a valuable opportunity to learn about the history of the Kingdom of Mauretania and the Mediterranean region. The greatness of nature, history, and local life are beautifully and peacefully blended together, and the food was absolutely delicious 😋 It would have been quite difficult to get around efficiently on my own, but by joining a guided tour, I was able to visit many places smoothly and effectively. Many local sites have limited explanations in English, but thanks to the guide’s detailed explanations, I was able to gain a much deeper understanding of the area than if I had explored on my own. Thank you, Zaki and Ali, for such a wonderful and enjoyable tour 😊

5.00I 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.

Picturesque setting with magnificent historical remnants

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.)
Great tour through...

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.
