Great and intimate tour of the Casbah - Since I was the only person on the tour I essentially got a private tour for the price of a group tour! The guide was very friendly and informative. He also helped me out with information about how to withdraw cash from ATMs in Algiers as many arent Visa friendly.

It was an experience. - It was an enriching experience not only for the historical and architectural aspects related to the Casbah - a World Heritage Site - but also for the focus on the most recent history: the struggle for independence, of which the Casbah preserves the wounds and memories.

Interesting and friendly tour, even with children - Sam was a very friendly and professional guide. We were luckily just a small group of 6 persons. We got also a good restaurant recommendation in the end.

Worthwhile interesting tour of the Kasbah - We really enjoyed our tour with Sam. The Casbah can be a little confusing so it's nice to have a guide being you around and saves you a lot of time. He gave lots of interesting facts about the history of Algeria and knew loads about the architecture of the city.

Excellent tour of the historic Casbah - Excellent morning tour of the Casbah. Very knowledgeable guide who gave an overview of the history of Algiers that put things in context. Doing the tour without a guide we would have missed so much. Just the right amount of information and explanation to make it interesting without being overloaded. It was a small group of five which was perfect. Would highly recommended this tour.

Such a pleasant and rewarding visit - My husband and I visited the Casbah of Algiers with the guide Ismael (Smain) and we really wanted to make a return on the visit because it was amazing! It is a wealth of information, anecdotes, photographs. Thanks to him, we really discovered the history of Algiers and our country. We are very grateful to him, it was a rich experience. And the icing on the cake is that he shows you all these places with his smile and sympathy. He's passionate and you can feel it. Thanks again!

La Casbah, a jewel - I loved it! A place rich in history and authentic alleys with crazy charm. Our guide was just great. Delicious lunch in the Casbah at the homestay magnificent view of the Bay of Algiers, the moving home of the martyrs. The craftsmen are warm. My 6 year old daughter learned a lot and loved the experience. Best of Algiers.
