Tour was amazing and worth every penny! Albert was great! - My wife and I visited Lebanon in APRIL 2024. Due to the illegal bom**ng of the Bequaa Valley region from the country south of Lebanon, almost no travel agency were offering guided tours of the region except for Lebanon Tours. Our tour guide Albert was a gem. He was extremely welcoming and friendly. He was able to answer any questions we had about almost anything! We were running short on time because its was a pretty extensive tour, but he made sure to squeeze in a few stops I really wanted to see even though we were tight on time. Next time we have a family trip to Lebanon I will definitely reach out to them and ask for him specifically. The cedar forests we went to were stunning. The hike itself wasn't that rigorous and actually pretty easy. Baalbek was magical, our local guide who showed us around the temple was very knowledgeable and did a thorough tour. The next stop was Chateau Ksara which we did a delicious wine tastings and tour of the vineyard. We finished the tour with dinner in the cute town of Zahle, very quaint. I would recommend this company for any tours while in Lebanon

Best Tour Guide EVER!!! - Where do I even start? Amazing. Fun. Entertaining. Memorable. The Best in Lebanon. And no, I’m not talking about our stops on this tour, I’m talking about our tour guide Albert. This tour and our entire trip to Lebanon was made so much more special because we were with Albert. He is so incredibly kind, knowledgeable, honest and goes above and beyond to make sure you see, and taste, the best that Lebanon has to offer! Can’t wait to get back! Thanks for everything, Albert!

The Best Of The Best In Lebanon - I had the absolute BEST time in Lebanon with Albert as my guide. My friends and I were looking to explore as much of the country as we could during our long weekend, and Albert knew just how to help us. He was so knowledgeable about the history and culture, he was so much fun to be around, he treated us like family, and he went out of his way to ensure that we were taken good care of. I would HIGHLY recommend his tours, and I’m already thinking of when I can come back to Lebanon to visit again.

So much fun! - Hassan was a lovely tour guide and made our trip so much fun! We spent two days with him, firstly, travelling to Cedars of God and Kadisha Valley, on that trip, we asked him where else we should go and he recommend the ancient city of Baalbeck to us which we were very pleased with. It's one of the most amazing small cities i've ever seen. Hassan also recommended us some great food on both days. We're really satisfied with the tour and the price was very good, (the more people on the tour, the cheaper per person, too) Booking with them was very easy, you just need to Whatsapp or email them, we used Whatsapp and gave them a call, and texted further details. Thank you to Lebanon Tours! Two of the best days of our trip! :)

3 Private Tours in 5 days - I can recommend Lebanon Tours wholeheartedly. We had booked 3 tours and as luck would have it arrived in the middle of a peaceful revolution. Mr Hussein and our first driver Rabih were totally flexible and mixed and matched the elements of each tour with the roads that were open on the day. So we ended up at the Jeita Grotto and Baalbeck on the same day. Both should not be missed. Rabih was courteous, very knowledgeable on all places visited and was willing to discuss every element of Lebanese life, history, faith and politics in a balanced and well considered way - just what we wanted. He was an amazing driver coped with every eventuality without ever causing us concern in some driving environments which certainly would have let the hairs on my neck stand up if I had been driving. Baalbek was one of the highlights of our trip and Rabih knew exactly which guide to find to take us around this most impressive of ruins. The drive through the Bekka valley to get to Baalbeck was also incredible with amazing and varied landscapes throughout the whole. If you do one trip then this is the one to do.

Fabulous trip - I visited these locations with my family, the trip was fantastic. Baalbeck is magnificent as are the cedars. I used Lebanon Tours and Travel who are a really good tour operator. The driver was really friendly and extremely informative and we always felt completely safe with him. Lebanon Tours and Travel were also very professional they always answered our queries promptly and gave accurate information, I can't recommend them highly enough.

3 Day trips - Me and two friends did book three days with private tours during our trip too Beirut. We went to see cedars, Baalbek and Ksara day one. Day two we went to Sidon, tyre and Magdouche. Day three Byblos, Harissa and Jeita grotto. All tours were great and would highly recomended them all. We were lucky to have mr Kamel G as our guide and driver all three days. He was very friendly, relaxed and always seemed to do his best to make our trips as good as they could be. Each day he also brought us some nice treat and stopped to let us pick some ripe fruit on our way. Very nice gesture. Highly recommended.

Great service, excellent company ! - I just used Lebanon Tours and travel during my entire 5 day stay in the country . From the transfers from the airport to my hotel and back to the 4 daily tours I took with them their performance was excellent. Lebanon Tours & travels was accommodating to my interests and needs, customized my daily tours around Lebanon, and was reliable, It provided the necessary organization and logistic support, a great courteous driver, and the cultural knowledge through experienced local guides to make our visits in Lebanon enjoyable, and beyond my expectations. I strongly recommend LTT to fellow travellers going to Lebanon.
