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!Elizabeth J

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.iansV2577VX

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.sarahnF5093RO

Without doubt one of the favourite city in Egypt Upon arrival we were warmly welcomed by feby Guide , our names were mentioned on the board and we felt welcomed and with such a friendly atmosphere we had a fantastic start! The guide and tour was extremely good, very flexible (appreciate this!) and for that she deserves a special thanks. We had two great days there, which obviously also added up to the experience. Feby is such a warm personality and highly motivated guide (recommendable!). I truly enjoyed walking the six of us through the area. The scenery was beautiful and it was a relieve to walk in such a quiet and peaceful environment. The atmosphere is so special that it really felt like home to all of us. All respect for Feby who does a great job there; a true sample of excellent tour guide! Many thanks again and I recommend feby Guide to everyone!
