Venture to the southern regions of Lebanon on this history-packed sightseeing tour. Two seaside ancient sites, including Saida home to a traditional soap factory and centuries, old sea castle and Tyre, where you’ll have time to explore a Roman-era hippodrome and quaint fishermen’s port.

Great experience

David is very professional, knows a lot about the country in general and the places we visited. He was a great compagnon as well. The day we spend together visiting Sidon and Tyre didn’t just bring me to those cities but also gave me much more understanding of Lebanon as a whole and its long, interesting and turbulent history. No question or point of discussion was off limits. Would certainly recommend or book again!

You just can't get any better than Dave!

What a great company and adventure with none other than Dave himself. The tour was amazing! From the utmost professionalism to no teachable moment being lost, Dave brings with him various tools that aid in the learning process, from visual aids to audio presentations, of the destinations being visited. He ensures that all your questions are asked and points out other historic or fun facts about the country along the way to the destination. I would definitely recommend Dave Lebanon!
