Free walking tours in Alexandria

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 🙂

Very enthusiastic tour guide with a lot of unique knowledge. He showed us places I never would've went and he had great knowledge and storytelling skills.

He was excellent! We are very satisfied, because we learnt so many different info about Alexandria, from history to architecture and culture. He showed hidden gems of the city and we walked all around the city centre! It was one of the best tour of my life! Worth it for sure

We took a walking tour with Adel Aziz in Alexandria and were truly surprised by the number of hidden gems and the depth of history the city holds. Adel went above and beyond to educate us and ensure we were well taken care of throughout the tour. He is clearly an expert, offering an authentic local experience while maintaining strong historical accuracy. Thank you, and we hope to see you again soon.

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 .
