5.00Anis was a fantastic guide for my trip to Cherchell and Tipaza. His expert knowledge gave me a wonderful understanding of the sites. His enthusiasm and deep local knowledge were impressive. He showed a personal interest in ensuring I had a great day and he was flexible at all times to work around my interests. Polite, punctual, personable and professional. I was grateful to have had him as my guide for the day and would recommend this tour to anyone interested in beautiful sites, wonderful history and a great day out.

5.00The guide, Yasmine, excellent. He also accompanied us to a place to eat in Tipaza. Both Cherchell, Tipaza and the mausoleum are worth it.

1.00Booked this tour a few months prior to my trip to Algeria however on the day of the tour the guide was no show. Upon contacting the local tour operator they mentioned that there must have been a mix up with the Viator booking as they had no booking with my details. Really disappointing as I missed a great opportunity to visit two places with historical significance.
Great experience today

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 😊
highly recommended

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.)
