I had a really great day on this tour. As a solo female traveler without a driving licence, I loved having the chance to visit places like Bcharre, the Qadisha Valley, the Cedars Forest, the Gibran Khalil Gibran Museum, and the Maronite Monastery of St. Anthony the Great. These are all places that would have been difficult to get to on my own, so I really appreciated having everything organized. There were only two of us on the tour, so it didn’t feel like a tour at all—it felt like a road trip with friends. The guide was super friendly, easygoing, and in a great mood all day. He answered every question, helped with everything, and made the whole experience really enjoyable. I also loved the funny AI songs he created—they were such a random but fun touch. The scenery was absolutely beautiful, and the whole day was relaxed and well-paced. If you’re traveling solo or just want an easy way to see some of the most beautiful places in Lebanon, I definitely recommend this tour.
My tour to Bcharre with Robin exceeded expectations - It was just for two guests, the ride was safe and comfortable, and Robin shared a lot of interesting facts and stories about the places we visited. The tour was well-paced and accommodating. I didn't feel rushed and got all of my questions answered. The location is majestic, as it includes two of UNESCO World Heritage Sites - definitely a must. Robin even went beyond the itinerary and included a visit to the mountain top to cater to our interests. Overall a great experience and a day well spent! Will definitely book another tour with Zingy Ride.
Highly recommended trip with Wissam - very well organized with beautiful views and an insightful and courteous tour guide.
Very friendly and flexible drivers. Very nice route, definitelly should do this trip if you enjoy mountains and nature views.
It was a very pleasant experience, the journey up to Qadisha Valley was scenic, and we returned at a reasonable hour. Especially worth it to get a break from the hustle of Beirut.
Robin was a fantastic guide, and I thoroughly enjoyed my day with him! I learned so much about Lebanon, and he was great conversation. He's super funny and knowledgeable. I am a solo traveler who booked this as a group tour, but it is a slow season for him, so it ended up being a private tour, which I was so excited about! I've seen people write negative feedback about something advertised as a group tour ending up as a private tour, and I want to say a few things about this: 1. How many people book a tour on a given day is out of your guide's control. 2. If you're looking for group activities to make friends, it's Lebanon. There are plenty of opportunities for that. Don't let all your hope of meeting people rest on a single tour where, again, the number of people booking on a given day is out of your guide's control. 3. You're getting the PERSONAL ATTENTION of a PRIVATE TOUR for the price of a GROUP TOUR, not to mention no hassle of waiting for a group of people to finish using the bathroom, eating, etc. I had the most amazing day and saw the most incredible sights. I highly recommend Robin as a guide while you're in Lebanon.
Our guide Ali was very kind and flexible. We had stops for breakfast, and photos! We enjoyed the monastery, museum, our lunch and the cedar forest.
A lovely experience overall, the driver is a chill guy who is nice to be around. We discussed Arabic poetry and politics a bit. The road is beautiful, we also managed to come at a time when there was a service at the Maronite church, which was the highlight of the trip.
Amazing day. Very professional guide and driver. Would be happy to recommend and travel with them again. 😎👍. The best way to know something new about the country.
The tour is really fun. No dull moments with the tour guide Robin and explaining everything to us. I was laughing and enjoying the whole trip and that was epic! highly recommended tour guide 💯
