Tipaza tour was included in your short Algeria trip during new year holidays. Wassim le us. He changed the route to meet us in the airport and drove right to the site. Tipaza is a nice place beside the sea. Wassim stoies was interesting and enlightening. On the back way we visited Royal Masouleum of Mauretania the nice site on the mountain with wonderful views. Thanks Wassim.

Tipaza is a pleasant getaway with its beautiful Mediterranean setting. It’s an easy day trip from Algiers. Our guide was thorough and engaging allowing us time to wonder and soak the views. You can also enjoy seafood at the many restaurants in town. Nearby is also the unique Royal Mausoleum of Mauritania. Thanks Wassim.

We had an excellent day with Ahmed. He had encyclopaedic knowledge of the history and context not just of Tipaza, but of the wider story of Algeria. This made the car trip to and from the site (from Algiers) a real pleasure. We loved the fact that he was so passionate about his subject, and so generous in answering our (many) questions which ranged from French colonialism to the detail of Tipaza as a Roman site. Tipaza is a romantic and beautiful place, the sea was stunning and clear the day we went and you should plan for paddling! Ahmed had a great sense of community, we met several of his colleagues from other companies and got chance to hear a few of their stories before we headed home. Everyone spoke English, French, Arabic and other languages too, and Ahmed was kind in helping me improve my pigeon Arabic.... The photo below is the mausoleum, which we visited on the way back.

I've been to other North African countries, but the level of knowledge, professionalism, transparency, blows everyone else out of the water. Wassim is extremely knowledgeable. We not only covered historical topics but I also learned about some good flights, how to find the best ticket price, what are the best items to buy in Algeria. We covered many topics and spent the day like old friends. Algeria is a safe and beautiful country with a lot of history. It is incredible to see old Roman ruins in Africa. Wassim has many other tours and I hope to see more cities in the future. Thank you Wassim for a safe and memorable trip.

It was a fantastic day following Wassim's leadership. He made it all with friendly mood and always smiley attitude. Good jokes and good fun during the day visiting stunning places.

Great experience with Algeria Tours16. I visited several sites (Tipaza, Ghardaia, Djemila,Timgad) with them. Great communication, very helpful with LOI and support in visa process, organization of customized trips all over Algeria, friendly hosts, knowledgable guides. They were always one phone call away with everything I needed during my trip.

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!

I did this full day tour with Wassim (driver/guide) and Ahmed (historian), getting picked up from my hotel bang on time (at 0900) and finishing early evening (around 1745). As with all of the other tours I did with Algeria Tours 16, the organisation was very simple - having made contact, Wassim was then in constant communication with me during the booking process and in the run up to the tour... giving me information about timings, routes, and the itinerary. It was mostly done over email, as well as a FB Messenger call too, and his responses were always almost immediate - which was very reassuring. In terms of value then I'm happy with the price I paid for the full day tour - it included the services of a guide and a driver, together with lunch at a nice spot and the entrance fees for all the places we visited. No unexpected extras! With respect to the itinerary, the tour was done with a combination of driving (to Cherchell initially, then from Cherchell to Tipaza, then to the Mausoleum, then finally back to Algiers) and walking (around Cherchell for 2 hrs, then around Tipaza for 30 mins, then Tipasa for around 2 hrs). During the walking phases we took in all of the main sights (Cherchell = main square, public museum, mosque, romain ruins, market... Tipaza = Roman ruins, lovely fish restaurant for lunch, shopping street) in each place, as well as stopping for a couple of little impromptu street food snacks too. Both Wassim and Ahmed both spoke good English throughout the tour, as well as being just genuinely nice/friendly guys too! In summary, I'd happily recommend this tour to anyone wanting to visit Cherchell/Tipasa... or even just someone looking for something interesting to do outside of Algiers for a day.

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 recommended

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 :)

-We booked Algeria by chalenge ... past the hassle of the visa (and maybe very very few strange looks at us in the Kasbah) that short trip will stay (positively) in your memory -Thanks to what Algeria has to offer but mainly for the support of Wassim and his drivers and guides -He organized for us our whole trip : airport IN/OUT transfers / City and surrounds visit / Tipiza sightseeing Dare to try ...

Top notch tour company. We had arranged a pickup/dropoff for the airport as well, and our guide was great. Friendly, perfect english, knew everything you wanted to know about Algeria and its history. We first saw took a tour of the Casbah, then the Basilica de Afrique, then off to Tipaza. Fantastic lunch at Le Dauphin which honestly had the freshest fish I've ever had in my life. We then saw the ruins in Tipaza, which were great, added on top of a having a banner day weather wise. On the way back, we stopped at the Algerian Pyramids, which were least to say, interesting. I didn't even know that they existed. I'd book with them again for sure, and recommend anyone that's considering Algeria as a stop to book them as well.

Grossartige 3 1/2 Tage mit Houda in Algier und Umgebung bei der auf alle spontanen Wünsche perfekt eingegangen wurde. Reiseroute vorab individuell per WhatsApp besprochen. Von Ankunft bis Abflug alles perfekt organisiert, extrem informativ, auch die ausgefallensten Fragen wurden von ihr in perfektem Englisch und extrem interessant und liebenswürdig beantwortet. Absolut zu empfehlen!

Ottimo tour combinato, di Tipaza ed Algeri. Avendo a disposizione un solo giorno ho voluto riempirmi gli occhi di tante cose! L'Algeria è stata una piacevole sorpresa. Raccomando a tutti di visitarla per le sue numerose attrazioni. E soprattutto di rivolgersi con fiducia a Wassim e il suo staff. Grazie Ahmed che mi hai accontentato in tutte le mie mete.

Este tour fue espectacular porque te muestra de las pocas ruinas romanas cerca de la playa. La vistas y poder estar en ese lugar se te pone el alma muy delgada por la emocion. El guia sabia mucho y tenia mucha pasiencia con nosostros que somos malos para las fechas. Nunca te imaginas que esto existe. La comida deliciosa. Ese dia fuimos muy felices. Totalmente recomendado si te gusta explorar y la historia

Wir haben einen wunderbaren Tag verbracht - die Ruinen von Tipaza und das Mausoleum Jubas II. sind absolut sehenswert und der Ausflug war perfekt organisiert. Wir sind mit dem Chef der Firma, Wassim, sowie mit dem deutschsprachigen Guide Yasid unterwegs gewesen und man hatte eher das Gefühl, mit alten Bekannten unterwegs zu sein. Wir haben erst das Grab Jubas II. besucht, dann gab es gegrillten Fisch zum Mittagessen, bevor wir uns die Ruinen von Tipaza anschauten. Die Bilder sprechen vermutlich für sich; durch die perfekte Organisation konnten wir alles total geniessen. Es ist manchmal einfach schön, wenn man sich um nichts kümmern muss... Wir haben mit Algeriatours16 auch eine Tagestour in Algiers gemacht, die war auch super!
