          Anjar Baalbek & Ksara is a must-do tour!
          This tour is another must-do tour in Lebanon. The tour starts in Anjar, impressive story of a place with many different conquerors, invasions, destructions, reconstrutions.... Baalbek is full of history, 2000 years of pure mix of many cultures. And Ksara is the oldest vineyard in Lebanon, with exquisite wines at affordable prices. Albert is a great guide, known by everyone and super knowlegdeable. He tells the stories in a very easy way to undestand and his english is perfect!

          A great trip with Albert
          I had expectations but really the experience of the trip with Albert was outstanding, everything was planned, timing was perfect and Albert didn’t leave any singles point with a comprehensive description, Ghofran did a great presentation of Baalbek with full details of every location It was great

          Beirut Airport Pickup/Drop-Off to Hotel
          Had the pleasure of meeting Mike today who picked us up from Beirut Airport and drove us to our hotel. The service provided by Mike was very insightful for a first timer in Lebanon as he speaks fluent English and offered some very useful tips and recommendations based on the nature of our visit. Would definitely book this service again and recommend Mike to anyone travelling to 🇱🇧. Thank you :)

          Excellent tour
          We had an excellent daytrip from Beirut, with our driver/guide, Mr Hassan, who was always informative, helpful, flexible and very good at communicating. Both Sidon and Tyre are unique sites and the tour visits and lunch were exactly as described and very enjoyable. Thank you!

          Super helpful, super friendly. Couldn't ask for a better way to disocver this amazing country!
          Went exploring sights outside of Beirut with Mike in mid May 2024. We had an idea of some things we wanted to see, but were clueless about itinerary, timing, feasibility. Mike suggested an itinerary and on top of it arranged private guides for us at each site (100% worth it, the visits are a different experience entirely withe guides). Super friendly, flexible, and gave tons of great info about the region and the places we saw. No chance we could've seen so many amazing places without his help.

          Perfect day trip from Beirut
          Hassan was an amazing guide. My wife and I had the perfect day trip from Beirut. If you’re looking for THE one day trip you can’t miss from Beirut, look no further. We covered a lot of places in one day. Hassan was friendly and knowledgeable. He even recommended the perfect spot for lunch and drinks. Thank you so much for an amazing experience!

          Half-day trip to Baalbek from Beirut - perfect!
          Pressed for time, I took the half-day tour to Baalbek from Beirut, and Hassane was a great driver and guide. Baalbek is a beautiful place! I was back at my hotel in Beirut by mid-afternoon.

          Great trip, Great driver, Outstanding value!
          Beirut Airport Transfers were great! The service was prompt, professional and with the upmost courteousness. They make you feel as if your visit is important. Our driver, Mike, was tremendously knowledgeable about all of the places we went and the sights we saw. He was great conversation as well and also a great driver, no matter the road. Two days in a row we were picked up at our hotel, and we had approximately 8 hours before we needed to be back. We drove to Batroun one day and Baalbek & Zahle the next. You really can see all of Lebanon this way! 10 out of 10, would recommend and use again!

          Despite our late arrival due to airline delays, the driver waited for us with a friendly attitude. Highly recommended for reliable and pleasant transportation!

          Day trip to Ain Arab with English speaking driver
          I planned a private tour to Ain Arab. The village my grandparents left yo come to America. Kassem was my driver. It was an incredible drive thru many of the small villages, thru the mountains, meeting the muhktar (the record keeper). He showed me the family home. I was overwhelmed. The second part of the trip was a stop at the Kefraya winery. I would like to acknowledge Kassem, who stepped up when my translator did not show up. Kassem made this trip outstanding. Thank you

        Wonderful experience not only for the locations itself but also for the guide mr Hassane. This guy is so hilarious ( he told me that pizza in Lebanon is better than pizza in italy can you imagine 🤡?); jokes aside his knowledge of lebanon is very deep so you'll learn all you need to know by having a lot a fun: a perfect combo I would say! Regarding the locations, if you are a fanatic of nature like me you'll be fascinated by Jeita Grottos and you'll enjoy having a walk on the coast of Byblos embellished by the ancient ruins. In Harissa you can enjoy the view of Beyrut and you can try the teleferique (better if Hassane is with you so you can laugh at his jokes and forget that you are stuck inside a cabin hanging in the void because of a sudden lack of electricity 💀). The weather on this location is warm, at least till the first weeks of October but be careful inside jeita because it's very humid so don't forget to bring a jacket. Amazing experience, don't forget to follow hassane on insta! Little downside for people who are obsessed with pictures: inside jeita you are not allowed to take pictures and you'll be asked to leave your phone inside some lockers.

        Fantastic experience!

        I was travelling solo in Lebanon for a few weeks and had an incredible experience with Hassan! Very punctual, perfect English, easy going and safe driver! We started the day departing from Beirut, stopping in Grotto, followed by a tour in Harissa and finally Byblos (my favorite place). Everything was arranged (including lunch at an amazing place). I highly recommend this itinerary to anyone staying in Lebanon for a few days

        This was a great daytrip from Beirut with Hassan, who is a knowledgeable and very engaging guide. It's well worth leaving at 8:30am to beat the traffic and get to Jeita at opening time - going in the low season, we almost had the spectacular grottos to ourselves. Harissa is a lovely peaceful shrine with great views over the coast and back to Beirut, and it was also great to see the old town and harbour of Byblos/Jbeil. I would recommend checking the weather forecast before you book, because having good weather made it that much better - Harissa and Byblos in particular.

        Be aware that entrance fees, water, snacks, aren't included, so you will need some cash and might want to bring some refreshments or have a big breakfast before you go. (Or just stop and get something during the day.)

        Hassane took really good care of us and Jeita Grotto, Harisa and Bablos are absolute must see in Lebanon. We thoroughly enjoyed this tour after picked up from tne airport. This is a private tour and so worth your time. We were guided by professor of Archaeology on very detailed and thorough visit to Byblos. We highly recommend everyone to visit Lebanon now much less crowded and pleasant. We saw so much during the day. Our guide Hassane is very professional and knowledgeable. We have learned so much and highly recomeend this tour operator.

        I had a fantastic day. Our group came from all 4 corners of the world and we were very friendly to each other. The day could have been good, but it was great thanks to our guide Albert and his passion for showing us and telling us about his country. His explanations and his good humor, his humor and his kindness united our group and made this day an unforgettable moment. I loved the citadel of Byblos and the meal we ate together.
        Thank you Albert for this incredible day, it’s thanks to you 🙏❤️
        And long live Lebanon 😍🇱🇧

        Deep knowledge of Lebanese history and the cities we visited - Byblos was the high point - along with the Cave of Jeisa. Besides knowing a lot, it is known and recognized by all of us locals. Fluent English, chat more qua pleasant, I gained a friend.
