Breathtaking History: Private Byblos & Baalbek UNESCO Tour

It was a small group tour but I was solo. I will never forget this day. It wa wonderful. Thanks to our guide Hassane. He is the best.

This was an excellent tour and I highly recommend everyone in Beirut to do this! We had the most comprehensive explanation and Rita tailored the entire experience to our preference. We had a fabulous time with Rita & Naser. Our Lebanon experience wouldn’t have been the same without them!

What an amazing and enjoyable day with my guide Rita. She was a wealth of knowledge and ensured that all of my questions were answered. She and our excellent driver made the day so comfortable. The archeological sites at Byblos and Baalbek are simply stunning.

Hassan was our amazing tour guide, who took us to Byblos and Baalbek. We had a different to a guide that took us around Baalbek. He was so full of knowledge. And he was hilarious. Great guy. Lebanon and its culture and heritage is a must see. Such a fantastic country. I when we went, there was no banking and no power. You would think this would stop the country. But not at all. Everybody uses generators. Be thoughtful about what times the generators are on in the apartment building where you’re staying. With the banking, take cash with you. Exchange your US dollars to Lebanese pounds while you were there. And make sure you don’t leave the country with any Lebanese pounds. The food in Lebanon is amazing. The Lebanese bread, the hummus and the goats cheese were the best. I think it’s my favourite country for eating local food.

I did several tours with this agency. They were mostly great ! My guide (Georgette) was excellent, as well as the driver.

I can highly recommend Lebanon Tours and Travels. Our driver Hassane was amazing. He was extremely professional, friendly, knowledgeable, flexible and it was lovely to spend 2 days with him. The guides he organised at both Baalbek and Byblos were very knowledgeable and passionate. He's also a great driver which helps :) And he finds the best places for lunch, snacks and fruit.

Group of 8, we decided to hire a van and a driver to take us around Lebenon for 7 days. Our lovely English speaking driver Albert was very friendly and accommodating. We all had different needs, changed plans and he was super flexible. On departures needed Covid test, he took us to drive through, get everything arranged and next day he picked up the results before dropping us to Airport. Best experience made a trip seamless. Thank you.
