A noter que nous n'avons pas visité l'interieur de la citadelle et du palais (en travaux). Visite adaptée meme aux enfants (11 et 14 ans).

I highly recommend this tour. Islam is a very affable guide and speaks very good English. He’s knowledgable about the history of Algiers and was able to communicate a lot of information in a way that kept me interested. Once he found out a little about my background and interests, Islam tailored parts of the tour to cover things that were of particular interest to me. I’m very glad that I did the tour- I got a lot more out of my remaining time in Algiers because of it.We went one Friday afternoon. Really good tour. We ate great food and learnt about the history of the area. Worth a visit when you come here

I had a great tour of the Kasbah with Islem. He is a wealth of knowledge about Algiers, and gives you the historical background of the area. The Kasbah could maybe visited without a guide but I would have worried about getting lost and also American tourists stand out a lot because there are so few. We visited an amazing palace from the 17th century and Islem is very knowledgeable about the architecture and water management, which was fascinating! He will customize the tour to the length and activities you personally want. If you want a private tour with just yourself or your family, make this clear.
