El "tour" empezó de forma completamente inesperada, yo era el único participante ! Hablando con el guía, me dijo que prefería grupos de 1-3 personas. Y esto es una diferencia brutal. Porque no era simplemente un tour con paradas programadas, sino un paseo por la ciudad ajustado a lo que YO quisiera ver y hacer. Se sentía mucho más como 2 personas simplemente andando por la ciudad que un "tour". Adel me enseñó tanto lugares "monumentales" como sitios muy locales y más bien privados, que no podría haber visitado de ninguna otra forma (ni con otro guía, ni hablar de solo, imposible!). Al hacer mi reserva y ver que eran 4h, pensé, sí claro 4... Serán 3 como mucho y adiós. Pues no, estuvimos 5h y media, básicamente el tour acabó porque ya no me daban las piernas ! No tenía una duración limitada, sino simplemente al terminar de visitar un lugar, Adel me preguntaba si quería visitar algo más y de qué tipo de cosa. Una maravilla, lo recomiendo 100% para los primeros días en Alejandría. (A pesar de que la ciudad no me está gustando nada, el tour sí me gustó y me hizo tener una idea muchísimo mejor de todo lo que tenga que ver con la ciudad !)

Adel is a character and great fun. He really wants you have a firsthand experience of Alexandria. His knowledge though encyclopaedic is always entertaining. Also, as a tourist he solved quite a few issues for me, which were nothing to do with the tour. Highly recommended.

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.

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. :)

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.

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 🤗
