When I visited Tipaza with Wassim in April, it was colder than usual. Wassim literally gave me the shirt off his back…that blue jacket I’m wearing is HIS travel jacket that’s been to Patagonia and back. What an incredible host, I hope to be able to reciprocate when he comes to America.

As there wasn't much to do on a Friday in Algiers, and with the protests going on at the time (March 2020), we were advised to take a day trip to Tipaza + Cherchill. This we did and were never disapointed. Chercill is a pleasant little seaside village which is a welcome retreat from the hussle n' bussle of Algiers. The marble museum was definitely worth a stop. After seeing both Timgad and Djemila in Constantine, we were feeling a bit "Roman-ruined out". However, Tipaza's setting along side the rugged coastline made this place a bit special. There was even stop along the way back to the Royal Mausoleum of Mauretania. Both the fish dinner and the end of tour tea were delicious. Would highly recommend Algeria Tours for this trip!This was a real treat for my first tour and first weekend in Algeria.

This was a real treat for my first tour and first weekend in Algeria. Wassim and Ahmed are first of all extremely warm and friendly uplifting people, as well as very professional and organised. Picked up from hotel, driven to explore the sights with plenty of good conversation and good humour. Ahmed did most of the narrative with his vast knowledge of his country. Wassim ensured I was well looked after, occasionally chatting to passing by Chinese tourists in their native tongue (he speaks 6 languages fluently so worth noting). It was an enriching experience and you end the day feeling like you've spent a day with good friends. Highly recommendedFor this day, our fantastic driver and guide Ahmed was waiting for us on time at the hotel door.

For this day, our fantastic driver and guide Ahmed was waiting for us on time at the hotel door. We started with a very good oversight of Algiers on the way to Cherchell along the highway with vineyards and olive groves on the way. At arrival to Cherchell we enjoyed great Algerian coffee with locals and loved the walk exploring the local market before visiting the Cherchell Museum with great mosaicas and a comprehensive display of the history of the place. We went then to Tipaza to explore the magnificent ruins. Ahmed was very informative and gave us a great insight into all the places you get to encounter at the archeological site. Then there was the best time :) great lunch :) at a local fish restaurant overlooking the ancient Phoenician fortification walls. The food was excellent. Fresh grilled fish right straight from the ocean! We ended up the tour with a short drive to the Royal Mausoleum of Mauritania where we learnt about the Numidian Kingdom. Definitely worth taking this tour! Ahmed always made the extra effort to make us feel great :)
