We enjoyed a wonderful 6-hour Alexandria tour with Feby. Feby met us early with a car and driver (a timesaver for few extra $) at Port Gate 10, an easy and safe walk from the Alexandria Cruise terminal. Feby was brimming with knowledge and enthusiastically shared stories in a friendly and informative way. The ancient Catacombs of Kom El Shoqafa tombs, cut from solid stone were unforgettable.. Feby has mastered the details of thousands of years of Egyptian history memorialized at St Catherine's Cathedral where she explained the dynasties that ruled Alexandria since 300 BC (a lot of heads cut off in the process). The Alexandria library, one of the biggest in the world, was full of surprises, history, knowledge and art. A few brief stops included the lighthouse and marketplace. Feby had great hugs for her many guide friends along the way. What a rich day in a city that would be difficult to navigate without a great guide. Thanks Feby.

There is something particularly special about learning about a place from someone who grew up there. Not only did Febe grow up in Alexandria she lives and breaths it, Febe and Alexandria love each other! Everywhere we went she knew all the little pieces of history you wouldn’t even think to ask about and all the best food you wouldn’t think to try! Febe is a story teller and has a way of connecting the centuries of history here in a way that is clear, interesting and humanizing to the people that lived it. On top of all that when a member of our party wasn’t feeling well, Febe went well out of her way to insure he got the medicine he needed and refused to leave us until we were perfectly taken care of and happy. Honestly I usually don’t even leave reviews but I need you to know that no matter who you are Febe will make this the best tour of your trip! I cannot recommend her enough!

Feby is truly THE BEST tour guide I have ever had. She was so warm, helpful, incredibly knowledgeable, answered any and all questions we had, made me feel so excited about every stop and made me fall in love with the city. Plus I feel like I left the tour with a new best friend. I will absolutely be booking another tour with her the next time I’m back! IN FEBY WE TRUST! ❤️❤️❤️

Feby was fantastic and made the experience in Alexandria unforgettable. Very careful with the details, she planned everything with great care so that we could make the most of it! I highly recommend it and I want to go back to Egypt to do a new tour with her! Super friendly and made the experience VIP! We didn’t queue for anything!!

We had a great time in Alexandria with a great guide. Feaby guided us around the city and gave us all the important information. Due to her knowledge and connections we were able to avoid the crowds of tourists. Feaby is one of the best tourist guides we have ever met!
