    · June 8th, 2025
    I realize that Algeria is little traveled by tourists compared to Morocco and Egypt and it really shows. The government does not really care about convenience for visitors judging by the onerous security requirements and visa requirements. This being the case, tour companies must be on their best game to compensate. This sadly is not case based on my 10 days. Golea Tours 8 days focuses exclusively on central Algeria, a beautiful if remote area requiring long drives and two domestic flights. I chose this particular tour because a day in Algiers would seeing that beautiful city with some great sites. Unfortunately I did have this opportunity because most of my time in Algiers was spent at the airport waiting for rides. I probably should get a partial refund for not having any real time in the capital which should be a PRIORITY. My connecting flight from Paris was also delayed causing me to miss my connecting domestic flight and having a generally miserable experience. I had to purchase my own ticket again with limited cash, making the trip more difficult because credit cards can't be used and local banks don't allow ATM withdrawals. The tour company probably should have bought the ticket because I paid them to do so. The four or so sites like Golea, Ghardaia, etc nice and had much history. The guides were nice as a whole but often had difficulty with English. I was able to use German during one stop. The most glaring shortcoming was a lack of general professionalism. I don't believe the managers are properly trained in facilitating tourism and I had the impression that they were "doing me a favor" when we repeatedly had to ask for daily plans, dinner plans and so on. The staff seemed distracted at times, focusing on other jobs, chatting with friends etc. I really that some of this is cultural but improvement can and must be made. Just having a driver at a spot rather than having to wait an hour, would really make this a tour rather than a haphazard collection of activities carried out by random people. I probably should give this tour a 2 star review but I dont believe the company acted with malice. It really needs to improve planning and basic tourist service practices however.

    Travelled late March 2025, inadvertently in late Ramadan which caused Azzedine, the tour company owner, some trouble to ensure that I was fed during the day, but it worked and the hospitality shown by the guides and their families after sunset was great. Sukran. The itinerary was excellent and we / I after Day 4 when the other 3 members of the party departed for Algiers saw mud forts, oases, wadis, prehistoric carvings / paintings and an insight into the way of life in the very isolated Saharan towns, Due to Ramadan, I was on more than one occasion the only hotel guests. The accommodation varied from near 4 star hotels to VERY basic room in guest house, the latter being all that was available in remote towns. Not everything worked out quite as planned but all was sorted in the end without too much anxiety. Following our armed police across the Sahara at 150kph in a 80kph speed zone was entertaining - no camels in the way! Alone in Bechar airport for 5 hours with my non-English speaking guide having departed and no airline ticket, but action by Azzedine and the wonders of Whatsapp (do buy a cheap data SIM card on arrival in Algiers - 12 euro for 70Gb!) and all was OK. Another guest advised that the hotel in Algiers left something to be desired in terms of location and cleanliness, but a call to Azzedine and another hotel was booked. I can commend the guides Yahei, Ahmed and Omar who were simply great - friendly, honourable and well informed. So at times, an exciting trip but much to my liking - the total lack of tourists during Ramadan may freak some out but I loved the solitude in the desert. As we say in Wales, diolch yn fawr. I will return for the N Algerian tour of Roman sites next Spring with my wife this time. Cheers Azzedine and your team

    The trip was very varied, the different sites are very interesting to discover. The guides and drivers very nice and making the most to support us. We were only 3 on the tourist group, which facilitated the organisation. I definitively recommend this trip and the agency El Golea Tourism Group. All went very well and the introduction to some of the assets Algeria offers was an truly amazing experience. Do not hesitate..

    I was a solo traveler and wanted to safely explore Algeria! But how best to do this? Fortunately, I found the Tour Radar app - it was easy to navigate. I selected El-Golea Tourism and Travel. It was a stroke of luck! Azzedine and his El-Golea team were phenomenal. All aspects of the tour were well organized with every detail carefully thought through. Itineraries, logistics, transportation, hotels and safety were well coordinated. He and his guides / drivers provided spectacular service. Everyone was so knowledgable, helpful and caring. What a diverse country of people and geography. I saw archeological ruins, UNESCO protected sites, 1000 year old habitated villages, sand dunes 70 meters high. On a personal note, I had an issue arriving in Algeria at Algiers Customs. Azzedine graciously jumped in, and through many calls, successfully resolved the issue. He did not need to do this, but his compassion and generosity demonstrated his character and belief in his company.

    Rose

    Asked on March 16th, 2025

    A "single supplement" is the extra cost for one traveler to join the tour and not have a roommate. I'm surprised I have to explain this term. Every other tour company lists theirs clearly. I hadn't mentioned extra days and not sure how you got that out of my question.

    Price / Availability
    Single supplement
    • EL-GOLEA Tourism TravelOperatorWritten March 2025

      If the traveller chooses a Single room, S/he adds a supplement of 20 euro for 3 starts hotels and 25 euro for 4 stars hotels per night. For this trip, the extra costs are to be 195 Euro.

    Asked on February 22nd, 2025

    I think we would like to move forward with booking the trip for the end of April, I do have one question though there is a possibility I could be pregnant on this trip and I'm just a little bit worried about food and possibly getting sick from food. Has that been an issue for travelers and how do you ensure that the food we are eating will not make us sick since we're not used to food in this context. And then what are the steps for moving forward with booking for the end of April? Thank you !
