Excellent Egyptian Guide for Alexandria

This private 1/2 day trip of Alexandria with Feby was excellent. Feby was passionate about showing us around her city of birth. She was extremely knowledgeable about Egyptian history through the centuries, telling a story that brought it all to life. Our trip included a visit to the Catacombs and the Citadel with drive by of the amphitheater and other ancient sites. We toured the old town, which you don’t get to see on a large bus tour as the roads are too narrow and crowded. We would definitely recommend Feby and her courteous driver and will definitely book again with her when we visit Cairo as Feby also does small private tours of Cairo.

Amazing Tour and Guide in Alexandria

We took the Half—Day Guided Tour in Alexandria with the outstanding and knowledgeable guide Feby! We were with one other couple from our cruise as Feby showed us her favorite sights in the city: St. Catherine’s Cathedral, Catacombs of Kom el Shogafa, The Citadel of Qaitbay among other interesting places and neighborhoods. Her passion about her job and the city are obvious throughout the tour. She contacted us right after our booking to welcome us and made us feel like we were special guests, making sure the choices on the tour accommodated us. The car was comfortable and the driver experienced, appreciated in the city traffic. Feby provided us with water, snacks and gifts! Overall, it was an amazing day in a complex and ancient city, made even special by the best tour guide we have ever had.
