Day tour to jeita Grotto, Harissa and Bybloso - This was a really enjoyable day out to jeita Grotto, Harissa and Byblos.
The wonderful guide Albert picked me up from the hotel and we travelled to the Grotto first. This is fantastic set of caves situated under the mountains. We finished with a great boat ride in the cave. We then headed for Harissa. The views of Beruit are magnificent! If you are lucky enough to get Albert as your your guide he will give you so much interesting information throughout the day. After coffee, we went to Byblos. This place was so interesting with a mixture of lots of civilisations in the same place. We had an archeologist who gave us a mist interesting tour.
Then it was lunchtime. This was absolutely delicious. I had the sea bass with delicious salads of the Lebanon.
Thanks Albert, it was a great day!!!!

Highly recommended - The Jeita caves are very interesting. It is important to go with a guide who knows how to explain everything, as is the case with Hassane.
Byblos a place with a lot of history. Important point to visit if you go to Lebanon.

Great tour out of Beirut - Jeita grotto is truly beautiful, Harissa offers some great views and Byblos is very charming. We had Albert as our guide and I was very happy with him: very informative, patient with our questions, flexible with the timing and easy going. The tour was well paced and I didn’t feel rushed - we took our time to enjoy all three places. Albert also showed us some other interesting places along the way. The lunch was delicious (not to mention plentiful, as typical of Lebanon :). Overall, I think this is a great tour out of Beirut and would very much recommend it and Albert as a guide.

Absolutely first rate tour experience - This was a superb small-group tour! Our guide—Albert—was incredibly polite, attentive, and responsive to our needs; knowledgeable; a safe—and skilled!—driver; and, last but not least, proficient in English. He made the tour the first rate experience that it was. The vehicle was new, clean and comfortable. I would say this was the highlight of my trip. My own favorite was the Grotto, but it was a nice mix of sites. And the lunch was surprisingly good!

Good value for money - After lots of online search, I went for this tour, because of its variety and not-to-miss attractions. The itinerary and all the details were as written on the website. Also, the guide and the driver were really nice and friendly. The lunch at Byblos was amazing (I had a grilled fish); the portions were big and they treated us with local apples and mandarins and Turkish coffee afterwards.
I prefer to discover places on my own but that's not really an option in Lebanon for remote places and I believe that tour was good value for money given the average prices I found.
