Not to be missed Roman ruins. - Outstanding site, great guide and driver. Guide very informed and willing to extend my stay to see absolutely everything. Web ad misleading. Experience from Algiers to Djemila and back was a 12 hour experience, not 6-8 hours. Decent lunch provided.

An exceptional trip! - Discover the city of Sétif and the sublime city of Djemila where a guide and a driver were made available to me all day. A VIP trip where discovering the site and the people was an unforgettable experience.
As the riwaya travel slogan says, “Algeria is not only a country that can be visited, it is above all a story that can be told. »
So let me tell it to you, with the help of the dedicated and warm guide Salim, the very funny driver Mounir and the wonderful and professional Sofiane, so invested in his mission to introduce Algeria to as many people as possible and with a such a beautiful way. Thank you really ! It was a unique experience!
