An enjoyable 1/2 day trip around important Roman Empire sites in Algeria - Absolutely fantastic trip worth every cent, with the best guide ever! Riad is the most knowledgeable guide, a political science graduate with perfect English, presenting thousands of facts about the history, the economy, the politics, the nature - practically anything you could think of. The trip covers important Roman Empire sites in Algeria, with a visit to a small museum with incredibly rich statue and mosaic collection, a vast seaside town of Tipaza with well preserved ruins of a Roman city, and an impressive mausoleum built by the local king for Cleopatra's daughter who was his wife, in year 5 AD. Recommend a 100%, and would do more trips with Riad any time!

Our Amazing tour with Riad - Raid is an excellent guide, he is very knowledgeable about his country. My husband & I had him for 3 days in Algers we learned so much about the country. He spoke English fluently, very accommodating and very friendly. If I could I’d give him 10/10 . We loved our time with him & we definitely recommend him for a tour guide!
