Great historic site! - The historic site of Baalbeck is one of the greatest one in size and preservation! This is a must go tour when coming to Lebanon! The tour guide and bus driver were excellent! The sight seeing and food were great! There was a lot of smoking inside the restaurant but that is the way here. Anjar was a nice surprise! Great local tour guide there! Excellent over all!

Beautiful tour, very well cared for and organised. - Super fun and well organized full day tour. Depart exactly on time. Breakfast in a small local restaurant (coffee for free, cheese sandwich barely 2 euros). Clear explanation along the way. We visited Baalbeck under the guidance of a local guide (guide was too fast and headstrong), but the temples are beautiful and immense, although of course partly destroyed. The included lunch was very tasty and extensive and preferences were taken into account. A visit to the winery is a nice ending, although a bit short and not much wine to taste. But if you have enough time, my tip is to order a bottle or two on the beautiful outdoor terrace. In short: a very good tour, recommended.

100% recommended - I loved the tour! Baalbek is impressive and has a lot of history. Lunch was delicious and with a great atmosphere and ending the day with a wine tasting was perfect. Our guide and driver were always very kind, patient and understanding. A thousand thanks to both of you for making our trip a trustworthy experience.
I traveled alone, as did 2 other people, and the rest of the group were families or friends. At no point did I feel insecure and I loved that. I did the tour in the month of August and the heat in Baalbek was very strong. Don't forget to wear cool, comfortable clothes and stay hydrated. Trip 100% recommended.

Must do - Baalbek left us in awe, scale, history, architecture and engineering is beyond description. It is a must see. And for a bus tour lunch in Zahle, we were caught by surprise by the outstanding selection of authentic Lebanese cuisine . The Ksara winery tour was a splendid way to finish a great day.

Excellent experience with the Citysigthseeing agency - We recommend the Citysightseeing agency for private tours with guide (Bassam Merhi) and drivers. Reliable, competent, passionate about their work and very helpful. The tour is well organised.

A classical climax to a wonderful trip - This trip took us to the absolutely magical Baalbek Roman temple site, to the best Lebanese meal we had in our whole trip (at Casino Nmeir) and topped it off with a tasting trip to one of the country's finest wineries. As if this was not enough the ever wonderful City Sightseeing team picked up our luggage from the hotel along with us and time the trip so they could drop us off at the airport in time for our late afternoon flight.
Our driver Naseem was punctual, well informed and super courteous. Our guide at Baalbek was amazing (and handy with my phones panorama setting). I picked up several Ksara wines at the airport after being impressed at the tasting (and I am not a winę drinker usually). Of course I also bought some (Ks)Arak to remind me of the fantastic time I and my family had in Lebanon - made so much fuller thanks to Viviane and the City Sightseeing team! THANK YOU ;-)

Impressive Ballbek Tour - As i am travellimg solo I enjoyed sharing this experience with a family of three. It was very well organized and our driver Nassim could answer EBERY question. The ruins of Baalbek and the landscape are fascinating, dinner was delicious at a very special place and the winery made me tipsy...
I can only recommend City-Sightseeing Lebanon, because they are reliable and try to custom-fit their tours.
