“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.

Nehad was an outstanding guide, taking us to the most interesting places in the Casbah. She was knowledgeable, prompt and highly informative. She altered the tour to cater to our specific interests and nothing was too much trouble. I can’t imagine a better guide to the Casbah, especially if you are interested in the film ‘The Battle of Algiers’. The tour was even better than we hoped for. I can recommend Nehad, her brother Ahmed, and her tour company Algerian Maze, unconditionally - the highlight of our visit to Algeria.

Nehad was responsive on WhatsApp and met us at the exact spot at place des martyrs. Nehad offered a free walking tour or an option that included entrance fees to museums and lunch at a traditional house. We chose this package for convenience and it did not disappoint. She was knowledgeable about Algerian and world history and guided us purposefully through the narrow streets of the Algiers Casbah. We stopped at several little artisan shops along the way and chatted with the artists. Nehad seems quite well known in the Casbah and she chatted with children and adults who came upon us during the tour. Everyone was quite friendly and wanted to engage with us. We felt warmly welcome and Nehad provided translation. She was full of nice surprises including a stop for tea and a visit to a local artisan with a rooftop patio for stunning city views! We eventually reached a private house with a tiled courtyard for a nice salad lunch, chicken with Rechta noodles, and miscellaneous honeyed sweets. When she realized we didn’t have afternoon plans she offered to extend our tour at no extra charge. We continued for the next few hours through the streets accompanied by her brother Ahmed. We learned more about Algeria from Ahmed and visited several places tourists do not typically visit. It was delightful. We had a great day with plenty of history, cultural education, and exercise!

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

I embarked on a journey to Algeria in the winter of February 2020, something I’d been thinking about for over 2 years. It was a remarkable visit, and it was all made possible thanks to the expert tourist guidance I received from Algerian Maze. They stood out as a unique company because they offered a customised tour to suit my particular interests. They assisted with the tourist invitation, organised all the locations I wished to visit, arranged the hotel accommodation and met me at the airport when I arrived in Algiers. I will never forget the first moment of meeting them (Nehad and Abdelbasset). Very trustworthy, friendly and amazing people. They made everything positive and it was a pleasure to be with them each day. They took care of all the arrangements for food, daily travelling, meeting friends and exploring the wonders of their beautiful country. I was impressed by Nehad’s cultural, architectural and historic knowledge, especially when we visited the Roman Ruins of Tipaza, Tiddis, (and also in the Casbah of Algiers where there are many incredible sights to behold). Nehad is a very experienced and intelligent guide, so you’ll be sure to learn a lot about Algeria with her. Our journey continued to Kabylia, which is a very special place to me for musical reasons and the natural environment is also magnificent in this region. I play a musical instrument called a mandole (YouTube: Project Coast Mandole) and my supporting travel guide named Abdelbasset, made special arrangements in helping me find a particular mandole for sale when we returned to Algiers. He also arranged a special meal for us at a traditional home in Constantine, prepared by a local family, which was a truly authentic experience. The friendliness and generosity of Algerians is wonderful. I should also mention that the natural views from Constantine are breathtaking. It’s the perfect place to watch the sun go down in the west behind the verdant and mountainous landscape. Our journey ended back in Algiers, overlooking the Mediterranean Sea from Sablette D’Alger while I played some music on my newly acquired mandole. In all, Algerian Maze made my dreams a reality. I certainly look forward to future travels with them, and I recommend them to others who are interested in visiting Algeria. Best wishes.

We had a wonderful 5 - 6 hours together on this historical and cultural trip in central Algiers / Kasbah/palaces . Very well informed tour guide and totally validated in information - I know the history of Algeria - nicely paced in tempo, not heavily burdened with info. and wonderful luncheon at 1/2 time in a Kasbah olde private residence, so beautiful and 5 star*****. I can recommend without reservation or reservation this tour presentation. They are veryyyy charming and friendly people and it was sad to say bye bye at the end. Don't panic or worry - go for this tour and I insist you will not be disappointed. It is so well presented that I hope for another with them asap.
