Just wow! - I totally enjoyed myself in this trip. As a Kenyan visiting Beirut for the first time, I was blown away by the beautiful scenery and the historic sites. My guide Ali was exceptional. He is such a knowledgeable and friendly person. He picked me on time as scheduled. As I was a solo tourist and he made sure to show me around, provide info on do's and don'ts in Lebanon and gave a general overview of how I can navigate the city. I plan on booking with them again and would highly recommend.

Excellent!! I totally recommend it. - Me and my husband we visited Jeita, Harissa and Byblos! It was a private tour with mr. Ziad who was fluent in English and he knew all the historical background and the small details in order to properly inform us. Thank you for the experience!!!

Two small group day tours with Lebanon Local Tour - I did two small group day tours with the company. On one of the tours I was the only one booked, but they did not cancel it. I would highly recommend Lebanon Local Tour - good value and high quality service. My driver on both tours was Harake, and I would also highly recommend him.
