Fascinating trip to Tipaza - Perfect tour. Friendly guides, occasional treats such as local pastries, never felt under time pressure. I was the only person on the tour which was an unexpected bonus.

Great day trip from Algiers to the Roman past - Although not as monumental as other Roman ruins in Algeria, Tipaza and Cherchell are notable for their quick accessibility to Algiers, Cherchell scores with a very informative museum, Tipaza with its picturesque seaside location, plus delicious fish as a treat for palates and the Mauritanian mausoleum along the way. With Rym we had a very competent, extremely friendly companion who could tell us a lot about everyday life in Algeria. Everything was perfectly organized by Fancyellow as part of our Algeria tour, we highly recommend it

We had 3 superb tours in Algeria - We actually did three tours- Tipaza and Cherchell, Algiers and Constantine. We had Jasmine for the first two. We learnt so much from her, and had an entertaining tour. The little touches were great - like making sure we had the opportunity to try local dishes like Borek and giving us great restaurant recommendations. In Constantine, Bilel was our guide and Haroun was our driver. They were both so thoughtful, and really went out of the way to make sure that we had a great experience. Everyone was excellent - the guides were very knowledgeable and we definitely felt like we got a good understanding of Algerian culture, history and life!

Fantastic tour from Algiers!! - Excellent communication before and after the tour with Oussama. My guide was called Zaki and he spoke perfect English and was extremely knowledgeable about the history of Cherchell and Tipaza. I enjoyed a lot talking to Zaki. Had an excellent lunch in Tipaza at a lovely seafood/fish restaurant. The driver was punctual and met me ahead of time in my hotel lobby and dropped me back there again safely. I thoroughly enjoyed my day trip and I took some superb photos during my tour and leave Algeria with excellent memories. Highly recommend - 5 Stars. Thank you guys!!!

Worth visiting Algeria for! - Getting a visa to visit Algeria proved to be quite a challenge and very costly, however, this tour made it all worth it! Jasmine was a superb guide but interesting as the information was that she gave us, we found it even more fascinating hearing about her life and gained a great insight into Algerian history and culture from her. She was typical of the many, many friendly and welcoming Algerians we met in the country

A great cultural day in Algeria - I had the joy of touring with Zaki from Fancyellow, and it was an incredible experience from start to finish! Zaki was not only incredibly knowledgeable but also passionate about the history and culture of the area, making every stop on the tour engaging and memorable. Zaki took the time to answer all of my questions. The tour was well-paced, and Zaki made sure I had plenty of pictures from the area. Highly recommend booking a tour with Zaki and Khaled from Fancyellow.
