Hassan is a terrific guide, very knowledgeable about Lebanon. I enjoyed Anjar and Baalbek a lot. Lunch was a nice sampling of local Lebanese food. The winery had a nice tour and tasting.
This tour is another must-do tour in Lebanon. The tour starts in Anjar, impressive story of a place with many different conquerors, invasions, destructions, reconstrutions.... Baalbek is full of history, 2000 years of pure mix of many cultures. And Ksara is the oldest vineyard in Lebanon, with exquisite wines at affordable prices. Albert is a great guide, known by everyone and super knowlegdeable. He tells the stories in a very easy way to undestand and his english is perfect!
I had expectations but really the experience of the trip with Albert was outstanding, everything was planned, timing was perfect and Albert didn’t leave any singles point with a comprehensive description, Ghofran did a great presentation of Baalbek with full details of every location It was great
