LEBANON IS NOT A COUNTRY - IT IS A MESSAGE!

Had an AMAZING day visiting the beautiful Cedar forest reserve, tasting the DELICIOUS honey and sampling the PRISTINE environment, getting under the skin of Lebanon diverse and multicultural past at the Palace and topping it off with FABULOUS food at the Auberge des Emirs. A very warm welcome indeed from the tour team who were clearly passionate about this BEAUTIFUL country! Very highly recommended. Lebanon is not just a country - it is a warm happy feeling :-)

Lovely experience

Another wonderful day with CitySeightSeeing tour! We had the pleasure to discover the snowy part of Lebannon, and the beautiful Beiteddine palace. The crew was really kind and interesting, special thanks to our guide Carla 🥰 We had the pleasure to eat in a lovely restaurant with a large view over the valley. No hesitations if you also want to discover that part of the country 👌

Day tour to Al Chouf Cedars Nature Reserve & Beiteddine Palace is the best escape from reality

Whether you are feeling stressed, anxious or simply need a change, do not worry! City Sightseeing tours are here to comfort you during the whole ride period. Please be confident that you will surely enjoy the trip. Everything is planned with high attention to details. The ambiance is great, the team is very friendly and professional, starting by the hostess Carla who welcomes you with her warm smile and positive energy, dancing with the music rythm in the bus, and ready to assist you anytime. The other hostess Patricia is an asset to the team as well. After 12 trips with City Sightseeing tours, I can definitely say that these two ladies are really dedicated to their job. Furthermore, I would like to thank the drivers Amine and Michel for their outstanding transportation service. The first stop was at Cedars Reserve. This is the second time I do this tour, and I can never get bored. The smell of the nature and the magnificient Cedars trees surrounding you, make you feel as if you were in another world. It is the best therapy to relax. The second stop was at Beiteddine Palace, one of Lebanon's gems, well preserved, with marvellous views, and its several rooms, walls and ceilings beautifully decorated along with colourful windows. The tour ended with a delicious Buffet lunch at the Auberge des Emirs hotel in Deir El Qamar, known for its breathtaking location on the top of the hill, and its friendly staff. Once again, thank you City Sightseeing tours for everything that you do, and please keep on making us believing in our country and its charm, despite the current unbearable times. Yours sincerely, Joanna Tabet

Always a great day!

I have been on several tours with Sightseeing Lebanon over the past 9 months and it’s always a great joy. The team is great but especially Carla is amazing! She keeps the group in great spirits, is knowledgeable and is always laughing and even dancing! On these day trips you see amazing sights which normally most probably you would miss on a visit to Lebanon. They also pick the best restaurants for great food and ambience. Big thanks also to the bus drivers! Amazing how they navigate that giant through the tiny and loaded roads! Keep it up guys!
