I used Fancyellow for several tours: Best of Algiers, Timgad, Djamila, Constantine, Annaba, and Tipaza. While planning, communication was fast and all my concerns and questions were answered. When In Algeria, everything went perfectly. All the guides were knowledgable and punctual. Especially notable was Billel, who did the Contantine/Timgad/Djamila/ Annaba tours. His knowledge of history and Latin brought the ruins to life. All the drivers drove safely, and we had some bad weather while in Constantine. Fancyellow was very good at adjusting itineraries to meet my interests. Islam was always available on WhatsApp and did more than he had to to facilitate my trip, even in places where I wasn't using Fancyellow. I have no hesitation in giving Fancyellow my highest recommendation.

I’m used to solo traveling and generally plan everything by myself. However, when I decided to come to Algeria to explore the Roman ruins I decided it was wise to seek local expertise. Enter FancyYellow, a tour company I found here in TripAdvisor. I have only good things to say about them. They made my trip unforgettable, at every step of the way, starting months ago with planning, the communication was easy and transparent. They helped me with the letter for the Algeria visa, they proposed an itinerary but were flexible when I asked for adjustments, their guides are incredibly knowledgeable and made the visits fun, informative and interactive. I love history so having a guide that even spoke Latin and could read the inscriptions to me but also explain in great details what every place was about ????. The drivers and guides were always on time. If there was an issue or I had a request they either solved it or try to accommodate it. World class service! If you are planning to come to Algeria having local support could make your trip better and easier, particularly if you want to cover a lot of places in a short amount of time as I did. And if so, do consider FancyYellow. Oussama, Amine, Zaki, Othman, Bilel, “Vin Diesel”, Amar, and Omar, thank you all very much for the warm welcome, the kind attention and for an awesome experience.
