Highlights
  • Baalbek - Baalbek, is home to the Baalbek temple complex which includes two of the largest and grandest Roman temple ruins: the Temple of Bacchus and the Temple of Jupiter. It was inscribed in 1984 as an UNESCO World Heritage site.
    This Phoenician city, where a triad of deities was worshipped, was known as Heliopolis during the Hellenistic period. It retained its religious function during Roman times, when the sanctuary of the Heliopolitan Jupiter attracted thousands of pilgrims. Baalbek, with its colossal structures, is one of the finest examples of Imperial Roman architecture at its apogee.

Worth all 5 stars. - The whole trip exceeded my expectations.. I was collected in time, very friendly guide, and the very informative. Both main visits with a professional archeologist. On top the lunch was excellent. Although hesitant about Ksara, it turned out to be a nice end of the visit to the Beeka valley.

Great tour of Lebanon - This was a superb tour. Natasha is an archaeologist and brought many insights from her expertise. She always had something interesting to say as we went along, and the meal was superb too.

Breathtaking heritage sites and amazing tour guides - I had an amazing day, the tour was perfect! The heritage sites were breathtaking (especially Baalbek, an absolute must-see since the temple is in so great condition) and the guides were so kind and helpful and could explain so much about the sites in particular and the whole country in general. I would definitely recommend to book this tour, also perfect for solo-travelers. Although I booked the tour only three days in advance, everything went perfectly fine. I was a bit worried the tour might get cancelled because I was the only guest, but it took place anyways and was absolutely worth it.

Very Insightful tour,... - Very Insightful tour, delicious lunch and wine tasting and a friendly tour guide. A visit to Lebanon without a tour to Baalbek is incomplete.

Amazing tour and Awesome guides!!! - Wonderful tour, very nice and knowledgeable tour guides! I really enjoyed seeing Baalbek as it was on my bucket list of places to visit. Albert is very kind and he made our tour become a great experience as he spoke both English and French to accommodate everyone in the group. Charbel also was very knowledgeable and funny. He told us all about the construction of the temples, made our tour so easy and took some pictures for us despite the hot temperatures. I would definitely go back to Lebanon and join Lebanon Tours and Travels again in the future!!! Aliaa

Absolutely perfect day! - Everything about this tour was perfect! The sites were breathtaking, and the guides were very well informed. It was the perfect balance between being led around, and being free to explore myself. The tour of Ksara winery was a lovely way to end the day, with a tour of the caves followed by a wine tasting. The lunch was authentic Lebanese cuisine, and was absolutely delicious. My driver and main tour guide, Fadi, was amazing, going above and beyond to ensure the day was perfect.
