We visited the Casbah and walked around the city and ate lunch together. We had a wonderful experience Nehad was one of the best guides I think we have ever had. We had a wonderful time together walking talking laughing together around the city. She knew the right level of detail and helped us find postcards and buy stamps in a very busy post office.

Best Tour of Algeria an Absolute Must

Nehad our guide was absolutely wonderful! She was extremely informative and really knew her history. Our family unanimously stated she absolutely made our trip to Algeria. She was also extremely helpful in guiding us to places to eat which was difficult as we visited during Ramadan.

The Casbah Your Way

Pamm, Nov 2023
“The Casbah” evokes thoughts of exotic and ancient experiences that are hard to find in our fast paced world . So , when in Algiers , it is a must see , and the best way is with a local guide who can make the most out of this amazing opportunity. This tour touches on all the various aspects that make the “Casbah” an UNESCO heritage site. It was customized to my preferences , and the guide could not have been more accommodating and knowledgeable. I felt so fortunate to be able to share the time and space with someone so proud and passionate about this unique and historic slice of life . Allow the Casbah to come alive.. take this tour… the experience will stay with you.

Visiting The Casbah in Algiers

Jorge_P, Nov 2021
It was a great experience to go to The Casbah in Algiers. The tour was very well organised, the first contact was so easy to do and the explanation of expectations was very clear. The tour itself had a right balance among history, stories, visits to museums, artisans stores and food. Excellent guide with an excellent knowledge of the place and many contacts in the site to make the experience more realistic. Really happy with the service
