Free walking tours in Alexandria

If you only have time for one tour while in Alexandria, make it this one! Adel is not only knowledgeable but extremely professional and friendly. I was sincerely taken aback with the length and quality of this tour as well as Adel's generosity and passion for his city. On a scale of 10 I'd rate this tour a 15! Thank you Adel!

He was a very friendly and professional guide, and he provided very interesting and in-depth information about the tour. He inspired confidence and hospitality 💕

Highly recommended.

We booked this walking tour after seeing all the amazing reviews — and every single one of them was true! Adel Michel was absolutely wonderful: knowledgeable, engaging, and genuinely passionate about Alexandria’s history. What really made the experience special was how flexible he was — he adapted the tour so we could stay longer and explore at our own pace. He shared fascinating stories and local insights that we never would’ve found on our own, and even surprised us with some delicious local drinks along the way. It felt less like a tour and more like spending the day with a friend who truly loves his city. If you’re coming to Alexandria, don’t think twice — book this tour. It’s the best way to truly experience the city’s soul.

Adel did a really great job. He adapted the tour to the interests of the group (basically, just the 2 of us) and was a lively font of information about Alexandria, past and present. Oh, and the advertised 4 hour tour actually was 4 hours. Highly recommend his tour to anyone visiting the city who wants a personalized experience .

Excelente recorrido de una tarde para conocer Alejandría, una ciudad tan preciosa como grande. Se nota mucho el conocimiento histórico del guía que demuestra en forma apasionada y entretenida su saber. Visitamos más lugares de los que se muestran en el recorrido detallado, teniendo la posibilidad de conocer rincones no tan turísticos y más locales de Alejandría. Realmente fue una experiencia enriquecedora y 100% recomendada. No duden en hacerlo!

Super!

Adel was excellent. Very informative and passionate about the history of Alexandria. Visited places that showed history and sights, outside of the main tourist traps. Be prepared to do abit of walking. Thoughly enjoyable tour. Thank you Adel

This is the tour to take if you want to know the deep history of Alexandria, and not just take in a few touristy photo-op locations. You'll see the real Alexandria, and our guide was so full of facts and information that the time went quickly. We had a great time. Definitely recommended.

Adel was an excellent tour guide! He was enthusiastic, knowledgeable and enjoyed giving us the history of Alexandria. Our tour was about 4 hours long and we enjoyed every minute! I can't remember a guide that was as entertaining in sharing his city with us.

It was fun to walk and talk around the main points of the city with someone that knows the place and can show the most important spots of the city.

If you are looking for a truly authentic tour of the real Alexandria, you must go on this walking tour with Adel Michel. Adel Michel has an encyclopedic knowledge of a historian with the “street cred” of a native born Alexandrian. He is a kind and friendly gentleman. He is also a great asset for negotiating the somewhat chaotic traffic and environment of Alexandria. You can feel safe that Adel Michel will show you the parts of Alexandria that only a true local can. Lots of walking but of course that’s what you’d expect in a walking tour. I highly recommend Adel Michel.

VERY GOOD TOUR

Great tour guide who goes out of his way to make things work for you

It was fantastic. Adel is the best guide we've ever had. He took us on a true Alexandria experience. We visited local and historical sites and tried local drinks and food (very delicious, by the way). Adel explained everything with great knowledge and, best of all, with great passion. You can tell he loves his job, and that makes the experience even better. I highly recommend this tour if you want to spend a fantastic day and learn about the history of this beautiful city.

Adel is a wonderful guide, he showed us the secrets of his city with much interest and generosity! Would definitely recommend taking this tour

Eriny es muy comprometida, tiene un gran conocimiento y nos ayudó, incluso, con otros temas después de finalizar el tour. Pasamos un día muy agradable conociendo Alexandría con ella.

Our tour of Alexandria with Adel was amazing. He escorted us through many parts of the city, providing much interesting information of the history, religions, and current life in the areas. He knows the city very well, and we visited areas that a casual visitor would not find. He was a perfect guide for us and made us feel very welcome and safe in his city.

Although I was the only person of the tour, Adel Michel, showed high professionalism in a long but extremely interesting tour. Throughout the tour he tried to shed light on the history of Alexandria by providing useful and detailed infornation. He constantly sent me information via messages to help me solve personal problems. A very kind and polite man who always kept his smile. Thank you very much Adel Michel. 👏👏👏

Alexandria is a less touristy spot, for this authentic. I was the only guest and Adel still showed up for the tour. He customised it for my preferences and extended, showing me the hidden gems.. Thank you for the welcome, as it was the first day for me in Egypt!

This is a MUST DO tour when you are in Alexandria! I learned so much and had a wonderful day exploring “hidden gems”. Adele is very knowledgeable and it is obvious that he loves sharing his knowledge and beautiful city with travelers!

Adel es un excelente guía. Se preocupa mucho para que lo entendamos, nos explicó muchas cosas, sabe mucho, le gusta compartir su conocimiento y su cultura. Fue un excelente guía. Lo recomiendo ampliamente

She was very informative and answered all my questions with complete clarity! We were able to spend as long as we wanted at each stop and gave some great food recommendations at the end of the tour!

Eriny was an amazing tour Guide She's nice, flexible and explains very well. She explained everything in details and her program for Alexandria is perfect ! She knows very well the city and country History! We recommend Eriny !

Adel Michel had incredibly detailed knowledge of Egypt and, more specifically, Alexandria. It was just the two of us and he was very accommodating along the way. We got to see (and understand) the insights and hidden gems. Riding a local mini van, a local meal in the market and detailed explanations of culture, architecture, history and the people of Alexandria. Truly fascinating and left us with a sense of understanding and feeling the city through local eyes.
