Best guide in Alexandria

We had a great time in Alexandria with a great guide. Feaby guided us around the city and gave us all the important information. Because of 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!

Fantastic tour with Feby

It was a fantastic tour with Feby through Alexandria. Feby knows everything about the history of Egypt and can convey it in a great and convincing way. We had booked a private tour and Feby got another car with driver, so we were totally flexible and could adapt our tour so to the traffic and the crowd of visitors, we didn't have to wait anywhere! Had I known that Feby also offers tours in Cairo, I would have hired her there too!

Eeby: Best tour guide

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.

Best tour guide ever!

From the time Febe picked us up from the hotel, her enthusiasm, knowledge and passion was infectious! We had visited Alexandria before and she was keen to show us things we hadn’t seen before. The Bibliotec is extraordinary and definitely worth visiting, she showed us her favourite parts and told us stories that made her feel like an old friend. I also enjoyed driving round with her, as her home it was clear how much she loved it. I would not hesitate in recommending her and intend on getting in touch next time I find myself in Egypt!

Incredible day and best tour ever

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! ❤️❤️❤️

Alexandria Tour - Feby makes it amazing!!

Feby gave us the tour of a lifetime. You can tell she really loves what she does and is so informative. She seemed to know everyone and was so sweet. The information she gave about the history of Alexandria really added to the experience. We did the bridge, Catacombs, Library of Alexandria, Fish Market, and Saint Catherine Cathedral, and drove all around getting a lot of historical information from Feby. Would heavily recommend her and can't wait to come back and tour with her again ❤️
