The best of Casbah with an excellent guide! - Issam is a punctual guide, very friendly and enthusiastic on every subject, an expert from Algiers (and Algeria) history, culture and traditions.
It was a real pleasure to spend the day with him, to see beautiful places with amazing views (and great food à la Casbah!) and to learn a lot about Algiers and its history!
Thank you for listening, your professionalism and your kindness!
Definitely highly recommended.

Beautiful visit - We visited the casbah of Algiers and the ruins of Tipaza and Cherchell with Issam.
The visits were very informative and fascinating.
Also, our Guide was very nice and friendly.
The agency is very serious and we can only recommend it for future visits.
Many thanks again for the professionalism and discoveries.

Must do ! - Sam is an excellent tour guide ! He has an extensive knowledge of Algeria including its ancient or more recent history, architecture and religion. He made the visit of the casbah very insightful by selecting the perfect viewpoints and sites while providing fascinating historical and architectural background. Most productive afternoon in Algiers. Highly recommend !

I fell in love with this city and its history moved my heart. - What a great experience! The tour host was completely knowledgeable about even the smallest details no matter what question we asked along the way. Most impressive and contagious was his love of his country and its history!
He went the extra mile in assisting us to purchase some needed items long after the official tour was over! He was so friendly and accommodating! I could have asked for anything more. I will certainly recommend this tour group to anyone I hear coming to this part of the world!!

Educational and Fun! - Sam and his associate were the BEST! I was grateful for his excellent English, his clear descriptions of history, the explanations of architecture, and the perfect combo of personableness and professionalism. It was a delight to learn from him and to laugh together. He took his time, not rushing us in any way. He helped us find the shops we wanted and called a taxi for us at the end of the tour. I highly recommend Sam and Vizitina Tours.

Knowledgeable, professional, and hospitable tour guides - We had the fortune of booking a guided tour of the Casbah with Vizitina, which included a meal in the home of a family who lives in the Casbah. Everything about the tour was excellent. Aissam is extremely knowledgeable, professional, and hospitable. We enjoyed our tour so much that we decided to book again with the company that same week for a guided tour of Tipasa. Despite having visited this site several times previously, I learned so much more about the history. I cannot overstate the excellence and quality of the service provided by Aissam and his team. Thank you, and we look forward to booking again on our next trip to Algeria inchallah!

Visits to perfection...Thank you VIZITINA - Thank youiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
A very good surprise for these 2 days of visit between Tipaza, Cherchel and the Casbah of Algiers...a very enriching discovery both in terms of history and culture that our super Guide made us experience from a different perspective." Issam"...He understood our expectations and adapted to our small family group with our children. Everyone enjoyed the walks, the remains, the palaces...the meals and the ice cream or "Crépone" breaks. Issam knew how to capture our attention and taught us a lot about Algerian history. So it’s a 6/5 that we would give if it were possible. We therefore very strongly recommend the adapted VIZITINA courses which will save you a lot of time in understanding the historical construction of Algeria. And above all you will have fun and laugh with Issam. +++++++

Great tour to understand the history and extension of the Kasbah area of Algiers - It is a great tour to get to know the whole extension and history of the Kasbah area (Ottoman citadel and old Medina area combined) of Algiers. The route was diverse in sights and experiences. Sadly, at the time of my visit, the Citadel was closed for visits due to a foreign state minister visit in Algeria, but the guide was kind enough to suggest an extra site to compensate the situation. I enjoyed the tour, for sure. Thanks to Romaissa for showing me around !!
