This was a fun, ... - This was a fun, memorable and fact-filled day visiting Saida (the sea castle, wandering around the labyrinthine souk, and checking out the Soap Museum), Sour (visiting the 2 main archaeological sites) and Magdouche (a Christian pilgrimage site on a hill overlooking the sea). The guide Hassan was fantastic - always flexible, helpful, informative and easy to chat with about anything. The local guide I had at Sour, Mohammad, was an expert in the area and could easily write a book with all his knowledge of the sites. An amazing day with a highly recommended company.

Fascinating history, great sights, beautiful tour - Out tour guide Hassan is an archeologist and full of enthusiasm and knowledge which he is happy to share. Enjoyed learning about both the ancient and recent history of the area. The Sidon fortress, ancient Orthodox churches and Tyre made for an interesting day.

Lebanon Travel - I traveled alone with my 10 year old son and booked a private tour with Beirut Daily Tours.The driver picked us up on time. He was friendly and very welcoming. The car was comfortable and the tour was amazing. We were taken to the sights and had guided information all the time. I had to pay the entry fees and for our lunch as this was not included in the private tour but overall my experience was amazing. Thanks Beirut Daily Tours

Great private tour to the most interesting places - we enjoyed the private tour to Sidon Tyre Maghdouche. our tour guide Raihl is great. he is very knowledgeable and accommodating. The company is very reliable and the tour is on time with flexibility to our interests. If we had chance to come back to Beirut again, we'll definitely use Raihl as our tour guide again to see some more places.

You Must See Tyre! - Raiba (sp?) was a great guide and the expert at Tyre was very knowledgeable. Eat a shwarma (again, sp?) in Sidon and climb the tower at Maghdouche for the view.
