Visit of the Casbah - Very nice experience! Our guide was very serious ( Aissa PhD student in architecture ). He took the time to answer all our questions and explained to us the different construction methods of the houses of the Casbah. The tour lasts 2 hours and it is a tour I will not forget.

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.
