Excellent Tour

We had a wonderful experience with our guided tour, and a very special thanks to our guide, Albert, who truly made the day memorable. It was immediately clear that Albert is genuinely passionate about his job. He was extremely professional, both in terms of his knowledge and his excellent level of English, and he was able to explain everything in a very engaging and understandable way. What we appreciated most, however, was how caring and attentive he was throughout the entire experience. He was not simply following a fixed itinerary or ticking off the planned stops; instead, he paid attention to our interests and expectations and tailored the experience to make sure we got the most out of our day. A great example was our visit to the Crusaders’ temple. Albert went out of his way to arrange a guided tour on the spot, specifically because he felt it would better meet our expectations and give us a deeper experience. This kind of initiative and attention to detail really stood out to us. The car was also very clean and comfortable, with excellent air conditioning, which made the journey very pleasant. We also had a delicious meal at the restaurant, with really tasty food and a beautiful view. Overall, we couldn’t have asked for a better guide or experience. Albert’s knowledge, professionalism, passion, and genuine care for his customers made a real difference.

A very nice experience!

Tour focused on history, tradition, authentic Lebanese things with enough time spent for all objectives and a tasty lunch having generous portions! Albert, the tour guide, was helpful, informed and a very good driver! The only drawback was the fact that photos are not allowed inside Jeita Grotto, but it's not tour's fault. All in all, a good choice for exploring Lebanon attractions outside Beirut!

A great mix of experiences!

This was an excellent tour and a great mix of different things, natural wonders, historical site and religious monuments and views. Albert was excellent in timeliness, knowledge and he was so personable. I was torn between the mountains or this tour, and one of my Lebanese friends said that I had to do the grotto, so I did. One other thing I loved was that Albert would give us some historical and cultural background and would the. Give us, time on our own. Highly recommend!

A breathtaking journey through Lebanon’s history and nature!

This tour was absolutely fantastic! The contrast between the vibrant energy of Beirut, the stunning natural beauty of the Jeita Grotto caves, and the ancient charm of Byblos was incredible. I was blown away by the views and the history at every stop. The food along the way was 'wow'—truly authentic and delicious. It’s an experience that is worth every second. If you visit Lebanon, this tour is a must!
