Adel is a wonderful guide and will take you to as much places as he can. He makes you feel safe and is a well qualified guide. He speaks a very good English and surely can speak some words in you native language as well ! Thanks a lot, merci beaucoup !
I did the tour with 2 other friends and we all loved it, it was our first time in Alexandria and we had a great time. We walked a lot and visited many interesting places, Adel is extremelly friendly and passionate about the history of his country. He is very knowledgeable and told us many stories about Egypt. He is trustworthy, friendly, kind and very professional. It was a pleasure to meet him, amazing tour guide.
Very complete tour, we had a lovely time. Great way to see and understand the city
We had a great tour with Adel in Alexandria in early May. We had booked a 4 hour tour and he spent most of his day with us. I had walked so much before we went to Alexandria and my knee started bothering me. I had not thought to bring my knee brace. However, Adel knew a pharmacy where I could get one. He went to the pharmacy and it was too big. So we all walked to the pharmacy and I got the right size. Adel went way beyond his responsibilities as a guide and really helped me with this knee issue. As soon as I got the brace on I was fine. Thank you so much. We went all over Alexandria. We went to their very large library with the world’s largest reading room. The architects had done a wonderful design job. Within the library there was an exhibition of Anwar Sadat. It was very interesting. Plus we saw an exhibition of student art which was very unique and beautiful. We also saw some great sculptures along a sidewalk near the university, I think. Again student art over the years. It looked pretty professional to me. I’m not sure of all the places we walked but during this time Adel gave us a lot of information about the culture, interesting stories about various buildings and mosques. I would highly recommend Adel and his tour. Thank you Adel!
A very in depth tour of Alexandria taking in all it has to offer. Adel really knows his city and its history. Very informative and entertaining. Adel's enthusiasm is contagious. He genuinely cared that we had an enjoyable day.
Adel liebt Alexandria wirklich sehr und das strahlt er aus mit jeder Pore seines Körpers! Er hat ein bemerkenswertes historisches Fachwissen und einen detailgenauigkeit. Die Tour geht 4 stunden und ist wirklich abwechslungsreich, Adel geht individuell auf deine Interessen ein. Und wenn du möchtest würde er die Tour noch länger machen, weil er längst noch nicht alles gezeigt und erzählt hat, was es über alexandria zu wissen gibt!
This was an absolutely outstanding tour. O-u-t-s-t-a-n-d-i-n-g. If you're going to Alexandria, don't bother looking at any other tours. I booked this the night before the tour date, late in the evening. Adel was immediately responsive and reached out. I had actually booked a different tour (a Roman historical walking tour) on another site, but that operator cancelled at the last minute. I was devasted because we specifically came to Alexandria to take a historical tour and see the city, and only had 1 day to do it. In the end, I am so glad they cancelled, otherwise I might never have met Adel. Within minutes my tour was confirmed. Communication was easy and clear. I explained about the other tour being cancelled and Adel immediately offered to cover the sites on that tour, as well as do his own tour, which explores the daily life of Alexandrians and history of the city. What an amazing experience. We started at 10:40am and finished at 7:10pm. We covered ALL of Alexandria. We walked, we took an Uber, we took a local mini bus. And we walked and walked. According to my step counter, we blew past our previous record part way through our day, and we've been on a lot of tours around the world. Adel is engaging, fun, has limitless energy, and an encyclopedic knowledge of everything Alexandria, Greco-Roman history, and Egyptian political history. It was really amazing to witness the display of his knowledge. This is not a regular tour guide, believe me. He's educated at a Professor level, and he's clearly passiontate about the subject matter, and it's infectious. His passion fuelled us through the walk, which covered every corner I could think of, and a bunch I never would have found. He is passionate about Alexandria and Egypt, and it shines through. We went to the main tourist sites, we went through the back streets where only locals can go, we saw important historical sites that a tourist would NEVER find on their own. We were always 100% safe, and never felt uncomfortable in any way, regardless of the area. The sheer volume of things we saw and learned was incredible. One thing my wife and I REALLY appreciated was that Adel engaged both me and my wife equally. We've been on plenty of tours where the guide either focuses on me or my wife, but not both. Adel was engaged with both equally. This shows the highest level of respect. Adel even bought us a Koshhary meal in one of his favorite local eateries, and a delicious local juice afterwards. And when I thought the tour was over at 5pm? No way, we still had another 2hrs of things to cover! Wow. We learned so much through the entire day, it was amazing. Not only did we see what we wanted to, but it was so much more. I honestly think it was one of the, if not THE, best walking tours I've ever been on, and I've been on a lot in over 60 countries. 5 stars is not enough. If you're going to Alexandria, book Adel. Period, end of story. You won't be disappointed. I guarantee it.
Adel Aziz es un guía culto y amable que ama su ciudad y te lo transmite en el tour. Es generoso, y no le importó hacer 5 horas de tour para que la visita fuera completa. Gracias a él, pude tener una visión rica de la ciudad en múltiples aspectos (arqueológica, histórica y humana) de su pasado, pero también de su presente. Pude visitar lugares que no están en los reorridos turísticos habituales. Le estoy muy agradecida.
Adel is a great guide! His style is to spend the day with you 'as a local', taking you to places that are off the beaten track. We took the tram and the minibus, had food and drinks at the local market and saw neighbourhoods and places we wouldn't have seen without him. He is passionate and knowledgeable about Egypt's history and especially Alexandria. The amount of information that he provides is impressive. He also gave us lots of information to help understand the modern culture, as well as historical information, all the way back to ancient Egypt. I thoroughly enjoyed this tour, especially the alternative angle that Adel takes from other similar tours. Thank you!
It was our best and most informative free walking tour we ever had. Adel is a great tourgide with knowledge like a Lexikon. He also organised typical local food and drinks for us when we asked him just for a recomendation. :)
Very informative. Visited places we would not have seen by ourselves.
This is a local Alexandrian , who is extremely interested in ensuring that you do understand the real Alexandria and not just the tourist spots. His local flavour and authenticity make this a very enjoyable walk.
Adel was fantastic. I am impressed with his deep knowledge.
We highly recommend Adel guided visit of Alexandria. We mostly walked off the beaten track and had a ride on both tram and mini van, which we would have been unlikely to have done on our own. We visited parts of Alexandria that only people in the know are aware, including one of the tradicional street market and its winding and maze like passages. Thank you Adel for showing us your home town and thank for the very comprehensive and entertaining tour loaded with so many historic facts, we really had a great time. And for the Brazilians reading this, Adel speaks pretty good Portuguese
Adel was very knowledgeable and kind. He showed us how to move around in public transport including the Centennial tram. Showed us a great place for the traditional kosher and local drinks. Hope he enjoyed walking and teaching us as much as we did.
Very thorough and friendly Great tour with Adel
Our tour with Adel was great! Adel shared a lot of history and went into depth on specific details related to Alexandria. Took us off the beaten path. Visited a traditional market. Rode in a mini van. Great experience!
Michel is amazingly interesting to listen to! He know so so much of all periods of the very variated and interesting Egyptian history. He loves his city and shows you hidden gems that your would easily miss without understand how important they are. So so grateful for those extremely interested 4 hours with so many variated experiences around Alexandria. Longing to do this again, next time I will bring a notebook 🤗
I had a great time with Adel. It was very informative and entertaining. You can sense how passionate he is about his city and the complex history as well as giving us a great experience. Fully recommended!
Todo lo que leí en los comentarios sobre Adel lo comprobé haciendo el tour con él. Excelente guía. Muy apasionado por su trabajo, profesional, con mucho contenido y tratando de que tengas el mejor tour posible, una experiencia local adaptada a tus intereses. Me encantó que me contactara el día antes del tour para aclarar dudas. Lo recomiendo 100%. Gracias Adel por tu tiempo fue una muy buena experiencia! Aprendí muchísimo!
Adel was very professional, informative and kind. He took us to ride a tram and minibus, he even paid for our fare. At the end of the tour he bought a traditional Egyptian food koshary !! Thank you!
Adel is a great tour guide, very knowlegable!
It's quite clear from all the previous reviews that this is a top class experience. Adel is a hugely passionate and knowledgeable Alexandrian who loves his city and adores to show it off. Despite being over 4 hours the time flew by due to Adel's engaging nature and enthusiasm. If you want to experience 'real' Alexandria this tour is a must. Thank you for your company Adel Andrew and Joe
Adel is a very passionate local guide who shows additional sites that others may not. He tests you with lots of history questions for you to learn and remember.
Adel is an amazing guide with extensive knowledge of the Alexandrian history and culture. He is warm and welcoming, making you feel like you're part of his family. I got to see some amazing places with the history behind each place being explained before we reached, and in great detail too. Don't hesitate to book Adel for your walking tour of Alexandria, he is an excellent guide. Thanks Adel 🙂
