Guide Didn’t Show Up

1.00The tour guide did not show up and did not contact me. I sent a message to the tour operator asking when the guide would arrive. They did not respond to my message. I contacted Viator and told them that I had been waiting for the tour guide for 30 minutes and the guide didn’t contact me or show up. I requested a refund from Viator. Viator said they would contact the tour operator and get back to me after they responded. Now 6 hours have gone by since Viator contacted them and they still haven’t responded. This tour agency is not reliable.
Fantastic experience - a must!

5.00This was such a fantastic experience and I’m so grateful I booked it!! The tour felt comprehensive and was really fascinating. We spent about 5 hours weaving through the area, learning the history of the Casbah and Algiers, seeing all the important spots, and having a fantastic lunch ( which was in a family’s beautiful home). Our guide, Yousra, was so great. She is full of knowledge, expertly navigated the streets, seamlessly switched in multiple languages in a group of 7 of us that included small children (who did really well for the whole tour!). She’s wonderful with kids and made the experience excellent for everyone! Also, since I don’t speak French that well, having someone who could help me on my journey afterwards was really nice too (she even took my hand and guided me through the crowds and directly to the metro - haha). :) Highly recommend!!!

5.00Best City Tour i did in Africa💙 Yousra, my guide, is a superstar! Her energy was contagious, her stories were fascinating, and I was impressed about how much she knows about Algerian history. It was very cool how she connected the past with modern-day life in Algiers. I was traveling alone and ended up in this tour with a small very enjoyable international group of three. We toured the Casbah in English and ate really good traditional Algerian food. The whole 4-hour trip was a blast. 100% recommended! Thank you Yousra for sharing your knowledge, experiences and love for your country! Thanks also for teaching me a lot of Spanish history from the other side of the Mediterranean, it was fresh and enlighting ;)

5.00Very interesting tour of the Casbah with Yousra. She's a fantastic guide with a wealth of information and speaks with such passion and enthusiasm. Fascinating details and stories about the Casbah and it's people and of course all the people that live there today, the conditions are tough, I can only imagine. We enjoyed a delicious Casbah lunch with chicken, white onion sauce and rachta which was beautifully prepared and a lovely thé à la menthe and homemade gateaux. I would highly recommend this tour, you'll learn alot! Saha 💫xx

5.00I was pleasantly surprised by this visit because like many people I had heard of the casbah but I had never set foot there, I had no idea that this place had such a rich and charged history, moreover I thank the Guide in passing who brought us many details and historical facts about it. The homestay meal was very good, we had the pleasure of enjoying the rechta and we were very well received, I even had the opportunity to get to know a couple of very friendly visitors during the meal, it was very appreciable. At the end of the visit I had my first name printed in Arabic letters and to wait the Guide offered me tea, which she offered me. I recommend
