Islam was an excellent guide. We saw everything, he took us around the whole of Constantine. We really enjoyed the day and we can highly recommend this tour, and Islam, as an excellent person to show you the city.

Really good guide. Tailored it due to fog so I could see the bridges better in the afternoon. Really knowledgeable. Enjoyed it. Nabil was excellent and safe driver too.

I recently completed a 5-day tour of visiting UNESCO sites and Roman ruins in Algeria. Fancy Yellow helped me with tour guides and transportations in Algiers, Tiddis, Constantine, Djemila, Timgad and Tipasa. The communication with Islam and Omar was prompt and they were able to accormodate some of the last-minute changes.
Algeria's tourism industry is not as developed comparing to its neighbors. But I was blown away by the experience, largely thanks to my tour guides Imen and Soumia. Not only did these ladies speak perfect English, they also showed great amount care for my interests. They shared a wealth of knowledge about the history and culture and were always ready to answer my questions with enthusiasm and insight. The open and honest conversations we had gave me a deeper understanding of the country and a glimpse into the daily lives of its people. I was also impressed by the professionalism of Haroun who was our driver in Constantine for 3 days.
Algeria is truly the hidden gem of North Africa. I can't wait to return to explore the stunning landscapes of the south.
