- rxxxu0 contributionsGreat day trip from BeirutGreat and informative tour! Geita Grotto was closed so we couldn’t go there, but we were able to explore Harissa and Byblos very well. The guide Hassane is knowledgeable and friendly. I had a professional archeologist showing me the crusaders castle in Byblos and telling me about the history and architecture. Recommend for anyone who wants to learn more about the history of Lebanon!Written 16 March 2025

- Venture8190680 contributionsA pleasant day sightseeingBeiteddine is a wonderful place to visit. The mosaics are beautiful. Albert was a great guide at the sight as well as informative with the history of Lebanon. Unfortunately the Chouf Cedars was closed due to snow, but Albert stopped at a wonderful cafe and bakery for a nice rest. Deir al Qamar and Moussa castle were nice as well. Thank you Albert for making the day nice and welcoming as I was traveling alone.Written 24 February 2025
- O258GAjustinp0 contributionsUnforgettable Baalbek Tour with Amazing Guides – A Must-Do in Lebanon!I had the absolute pleasure of being guided to Baalbek by two incredible individuals who made my experience in Lebanon unforgettable. Starting from my hotel at the Royal Tulip in Beirut, Albert, the driver and guide, went above and beyond in every possible way. He was the kindest gentleman I’ve ever met—so knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely invested in ensuring I had an enriching experience. Albert spent the entire day answering all my questions, no matter how small, with remarkable depth and insight about Lebanon’s history, culture, and landmarks. His guidance and advice were invaluable, and I cannot imagine experiencing the beauty of Lebanon without his expert and sage knowledge. Not only did Albert and the team make sure I felt completely safe and cared for throughout the journey, but they also went the extra mile to show me unique souvenir shops, ensuring I got the best deals and didn’t miss a single highlight along the road. Their attention to detail and commitment to creating a perfect experience were unparalleled. Beyond being incredible guides, these two were genuinely good-hearted people with whom I felt an instant connection. I walked away not just with amazing memories but with friends for life. I cannot recommend this tour and these exceptional individuals highly enough. If you’re visiting Lebanon, this is an experience you absolutely must have.Written 10 January 2025
- Sandaru0010 contributionsBaalbek and Anjar VisitI had the pleasure of touring with Albert, and I must say he is an exceptional guide! His professionalism, combined with a warm and friendly attitude, made the experience truly memorable. Albert's explanations were clear and thorough, adding depth to every sight we visited. Highly recommend him for anyone looking. I highly recommend this tripWritten 18 December 2024
- SaeedAli9140 contributionsTour was amazing and worth every penny! Albert was great!My wife and I visited Lebanon in APRIL 2024. Due to the illegal bom**ng of the Bequaa Valley region from the country south of Lebanon, almost no travel agency were offering guided tours of the region except for Lebanon Tours. Our tour guide Albert was a gem. He was extremely welcoming and friendly. He was able to answer any questions we had about almost anything! We were running short on time because its was a pretty extensive tour, but he made sure to squeeze in a few stops I really wanted to see even though we were tight on time. Next time we have a family trip to Lebanon I will definitely reach out to them and ask for him specifically. The cedar forests we went to were stunning. The hike itself wasn't that rigorous and actually pretty easy. Baalbek was magical, our local guide who showed us around the temple was very knowledgeable and did a thorough tour. The next stop was Chateau Ksara which we did a delicious wine tastings and tour of the vineyard. We finished the tour with dinner in the cute town of Zahle, very quaint. I would recommend this company for any tours while in LebanonWritten 14 November 2024

Baalbek was very large and cool to see! My guide Albert was also very knowledgeable and helpful along the way! I recommend this trip to anyone visiting Lebanon.Written 17 September 2024
- mohammedaO7453LU0 contributionsWholesome day-trip with a knowledgable guide!The trip encompassed everything I wanted to experience: learning about Lebanon’s history from Fadi, who is a wealth of knowledge, to visiting multiple sites within the same trip and taking in the beauty and depth of Lebanon. Fadi is a really well-versed tour guide who went the extra mile to make sure I was comfortable, and he even stopped at a sweets shop on our way back just because I talked about trying ka'ke knafe! It is a really great tour with a knowledgeable tour guide, I highly recommend it!Written 13 September 2024
