Historic Engaging Day Trip from Algiers (Tipaza and Cherchell) - This tour is a wonderful day trip from Algiers. Aissam did a fantastic job providing a seamless transition from site to site in the vicinity of Tipaza and Cherchell. He also provides an easy and timeless tour of Algiers that can facilitated within a day if you're up for a bit of fast-paced walking to see the highlights.
Knowledgeable and tailorable to your needs and interests for your trip, Aissam was engaging with the history and various topics of interest and great at helping take great photos as well. Since I am also learning French, I appreciated his willingness to help me improve by doing mixed English and French-guided discussions.
My favorite highlights among Tipaza and Cherchell were the Cherchell museum, which provided lots of history not only of Rome but also artifacts of historical ties to the Kingdoms of Numidia/Mauretania, the Royal Mausoleum of Mauretania, enjoying freshly caught seafood for lunch, and exploring the sprawling Roman ruins in Tipaza along the beautiful coast. My favorite site there was the gladiator pit (stadium).
Overall, this trip was exciting, engaging, and easily doable in a day from Algiers to see the main highlights of these historic cities west of Algiers. If you are into souvenirs as well, some locally procured ones can be purchased in the vicinity of the Tipaza ruins.
I would recommend it to anyone visiting Algiers/Algeria and who wants to learn more about its ancient civilization past. It is an ideal trip for solo travelers and families. I would recommend Vizitana's services to anyone wanting a well-thought-out and personalized experience.

Excellent ! - The visit was excellent, Aissam's explanations very clear and fascinating. We learned a lot of facts about Tipaza that we didn't know.
Aissam was a very friendly guide, with an ease of discussion that allowed you to feel at ease straight away. His kindness went straight to our hearts.
We booked 3 different tours (Casbah, Tipaza and Algiers city Tour), they were all very positive experiences.
I highly recommend Vizitina to anyone wishing to learn more about the culture and history of Algeria, while having a pleasant time

Visit to do absolutely with Vizitina (Issam) - We had an unforgettable day: the ruins of Tipasa, Cherchel, the royal mausoleum, the seafood restaurant..absolutely everything was memorable. Issam knows the history of these cities perfectly and knows how to transcribe it for us. His knowledge of architecture makes him an incomparable guide with his very precise view of constructions. In addition to being very professional, he is very good company, accessible to our questions, full of humor and adapts to all situations. We leave with our hearts full of memories and we only ask to come back for a future tour.

Excellent Tipaza tour - Sam was an excellent guide who knew everything to know on our tour of Tipaza. He speaks perfect English and showed us around the Roman remains and answered all our questions, arranged a nice seafood lunch, and also took us to a museum and an Algerian pyramid. I would highly recommend.

A must in Algeria - My family and I loved the Tipaza tour. Issam was our guide. He’s a great guide with whom we learned so much. We were able to visit different sites in Tipaza and Cherchel and learned so much about different aspects of the region. It allowed us to discover Algeria’s beauty and rich history.
