Great tour in Alexandria

Feby gave us a fantastic introduction into her hometown Alexandria. She is very knowledgeable and showed us even hidden gems, knows all the guards at the entrances (which gave us access without cueing) and organised a clean, new car including driver for a reasonable price. We had a great day, thanks Feby!!! Hint: She also gives tours in Cairo!

Amazing Experience with Friendly Knowledgeable Guide

Wonderful tour with a wonderful guide. We learned so much and Feby could answer all our questions and customize everything to see what we wanted. She was so kind and fun and took amazing photos so we had one less thing to think about while visiting the sites. Much of what we saw involved lots of steps, but she never made us feel rushed, accommodating my parties mobility needs. We had great time and I can think of no complaints. My only note to travelers is that those with serious mobility issues will have trouble going into the catacombs or climbing the fortress stairs. Don’t worry though, all the sites have things to see at ground level so she can customize the tour for anyone. Highly recommend.

Day trip from Alexandria to Cairo

Feby proved to be a knowledgeable and enthusiastic guide during our time in Egypt. Her grasp of Egyptian history is commendable, and she presents it in an engaging manner. For those of us who love the intricacies of the past, Feby was able to delve deeper when asked, making the experience both informative and enjoyable. Her positive energy added to the experience, ensuring our tour was lively. However, we did face some delays at the port, which unfortunately shortened our time at several sites. It's important to clarify that this wasn't Feby's fault, and she managed the situation as best as she could. We're looking forward to another trip to Egypt in the future. If our paths cross again, we'd be happy to have Feby guide us, hopefully with more time to explore. Overall, a solid choice for those keen on a well-rounded exploration of Egypt's rich history.

MY CAIRO CITY TOUR EXPERIENCE WITH FEBY

I had an exciting, stress free, hassle free and most comfortable city tour In Cairo with a group of interior designers who wanted to experience Cairo. Feby was not just a tour guide, she became our historian, a photographer, a security if I must use the word and Off course a friend. She listened to all of our needs during the tour and made it priority. We had a long day but it never felt that way because she made us love every bit of the experience. I WILL RECOMMEND HER SERVICES A MILLION TIMES. She is an asset to the Egyptian tourism.

The most amazing experience in Cairo!

I am giving the tour with Feby a 5/5!!! I would give it a 100/5 if I could! Not only was she the sweetest person ever, she was extremely knowledgeable. She was able to tell us, in detail, all the specifics and history of the pyramids. She made us feel at home here in Cairo and I would recommend her for all your tour and guide needs. She is also fluent in 4 languages!!! Thank you Feby! You made our experience here in Cairo one to remember!!! Ashley
