I can rate as a MUST in a trip to Algers ( and I had a very short one) - Views pf Roman city and the Mediterranean are outstanding, nice stpp in Cherchell ( Cesarea) totally different from Algers. Memorial to Cleopatra’s daughter is the cherry on the pie 100% recomendable.

Stunning dive between history and the Mediterranean with an exceptional guide - A captivating day in Tipaza and Cherchell, where you can dive into Algeria’s rich ancient past.
Incredible remains and breathtaking views of the Mediterranean happen to us, and we find ourselves contemplating the horizon like Camus, looking for inspiration.
But the real asset of this experience is Othmane, an outstanding guide, passionate and absolutely masterful.
To live absolutely!

A nice cultural day trip - I was picked up on time by a taxi driver who operates on behalf of Fancyyellow.
He was talkative and a nice person. We picked up Othmane the official guide on our way to Cherchell, which also was our first station.
We visited a museum for ancient statues. This was a fascinating experience, Othmane was knowledgeable and could comment in nearly all of the statues. We also tried to visit a mosque which was unfortunately closed. Our 2nd place was ancient Tipaza, with all of the roman buildings. I could only state the same opinion as the stay in Cherchell.
Then I had a lunch with a recommendation of Othmane, I took my time for it, so there was no rush at all. After Othmane left I visited my last station (Mausoleum of Mauretania) an UNESCO-Sight. I could also take my time as my driver waited outside.
After I headed back to the car, he brought me back to my Hotel.
To cut this to the chase: A must-see trip to see the rich ancient culture of Algeria.

A beautiful visit - I had an excellent day, I had a private visit since I was alone with the Guide, very friendly and having a very good knowledge of the place and their history. The Tipaza site is really beautiful, unfortunately we can not see everything because it is huge. Despite everything we take the view!!
Premium benefit, a taxi picked me up at my Pension in the morning, took me to Tipaza then Cherchell, and in the evening back to Pension.
Really feel free to choose this excursion, I recommend.

Informative, Friendly, Safe - We had a very knowledgeable and kind local tour guide. He provided us with a lot of history on the sites visited.
They were able to get a vegetarian lunch for us and make some great recommendations for Algiers. We were two women and felt very safe. Would definitely recommend! An amazing day.

Fancyellow is the best tourcompany in Algeria - Earlier this month I booked a tour to Cherchell and Tipaza with Fancyellow, and I cannot recommend them enough. They are very quick to respond, advise you on what tour would suit you best given how much time you have in Algeria. it’s very easy to arrange a tour with them, and they are always reachable on wats app. Our guide, Zaki, is very knowledgeable, we learned a lot about the history of Algeria as well as its modern times and culture. Our driver was also very friendly. Fancyellow team members are very reliable, flexible, punctual and know a lot about the country, so look no further and book a tour with them if you are in Algeria and you will have a great time exploring this amazing country!

Algeria: a fascinating country - For me, Algeria was an unknown country, not even listed in guidebooks. During my one-week stay, I visited the Algiers city tour, Tipaza and Cherchell tour, and Oran cities, and was impressed by the beautiful scenery, the country's history, and the mysterious experiences during the tour. All the Algerian people are kind and friendly. The guides were all young but knowledgeable, and I felt that they were proud of their country. During my stay, I was captivated by the charm of Algeria. I felt like I wanted to visit other cities. I definitely want to come back again. And I want more Japanese people to know Algeria, which is full of unknown charms. I wish Fancyellow continued success. Thank you for a truly wonderful time.
