Lebanon's Ancient Treasures: Baalbek, Ksara & Anjar Day Tour

Enjoyed this Tour to Baalbak, Anjar and Ksara. Dave is an expert and pointed out lots of details about the history of these sites, their historical significance, and added value and knowledge that only a professional like him can! I was traveling solo and ended up with another solo traveler and we both had a great experience!! Dave of Dave Lebanon D.M.C. is great and I highly recommend his services! He is a lifelong resident of Beirut and I had two full days with him. He can navigate expertly the mosaic of different languages, cultures, religions, etc -- always great to have a Professional guiding you !! TCH New Jersey, USA

very an organized and very enjoyable trip The team was well-educated on the history of the country and they were able to guide me to the right spot to well discover each of the three places I visited in a short time without losing my power in wrong spots.

The sites we visited were great; but i/we (2 couples) can't over emphasize the significance of guides knowledge of history (past, present, future), culture, and peoples of Lebanon. It was an excellent experience and well worth the cost to not have to drive !

During our 9 day stay in Lebanon, my friend and I booked two tours with Dave. Both the Baalbak tour and the Tyre tour did not disappoint. Dave is extremely professional and knowledge in the history of the sites and Lebanon in general. In addition, the tour was extremely low maintenance for the guests allowing us to simply enjoy the rich history and diversity of Lebanon. Most of all, Dave made our two days very comfortable - not rushed or scripted like other ‘big box’ group tours. Overall, we could not have been happier with our experience.

This was a Great Day in Lebanon. The tour started well - Dave was waiting for me in my hotel lobby, and joked with me that, as the only customer that day, I was on the "VIP Tour". Before driving away (in a comfortable, air-conditioned car) he gave me a summary of the various civilisations of the region. First stop was Baalbek. After a brief look at what is probably the largest stone ever cut, Dave parked the car near the main entrance and I had over an hour to explore at my own pace - ensure your camera and/or phone are adequaltely charged. Next was the wine tasting at Ksara; the tour includes the "superior" tasting (actually, it was closer to a gulping...). There followed a short video documentary, and a tour of the cellars. Last stop was the 8th-century ruins at Anja - again, I had plenty of time to wander at my own pace. Take plenty of water (this was late August) and maybe some snacks (there may be a late lunch, plus the wine tasting beforehand!). All considered, a five-star review - thanks, Dave!

The visit of complex of Baalbak temples, Ksara and Anjar in a full day was very beautifull. The guide show us the awsome ruins temple of Bachus, Venus, Jupiter, ruins of Anjar in the Umayyad period. Ksara cellar war a nice place to make taste of wines. Congratulations!!!

My son and I were fortunate enough to get a tour with Dave to Balbek. He is very knowledgable, and we quizzed him incessantly about the history and culture of Lebanon (being a native he knew everything).

Baalbak is a must see. The history surrounding it is incredible. Our tour guide Dave explained to us the history of Lebanon along the drive and more on site. He is extremely knowledgeable as well as very professional. He was also entertaining for the kids. Spoke in English, French and Arabic so everyone can understand. It is also great to be picked up and brought back and not have to worry about driving or getting lost. We did 2 tours with him and his colleague. He also recommended what to purchase and what not to purchase. Very important when you are a tourist! Very happy both times.

The beautiful mountains of Lebanon and the Bekaa Valley - and especially the ruins of Baalbeck were impressive!!! Thank you!

We had a great day in the company of Dave Dave introduced us to Baalbek and its region while explaining all facets of Lebanon without taboo Minivan at the top, driving at the top, perfect timing and all in impeccable English or French
