It was amazing everything. Guide Albert is one of the better guides I have had in my life. He gave me a lot of knowledge, taught me a lot of things, and most importantly, how to be a human being in life. And for that, I thank him. 🩷
Thank you for your heartfelt words! We're truly touched by your experience with Albert—he’ll be honored to know he made such a meaningful impact.
What an amazing time! Lebanon is a beautiful country with delicious food, great people, and a fascinating history. I'm so grateful I came. My tour guide Hassan was awesome. He was knowledgeable and helpful. My phone was giving me some problems charging when I arrived, and he kindly went out of his way to help me get what I needed to fix it. Our group sizes were small and allowed for a great experience all around. 10 out of 10! Highly recommended!
Thank you so much for your kind words! We're thrilled you had an amazing time and that Hassan made your experience even better. Hope to welcome you back to Lebanon soon! 😊🇱🇧
In beautiful spring weather, I visited Junieh today with the Marienstraße and the Basilica of Harissa, the beautifully restored Batoum and the historically impressive city of Byblos. The cave was unfortunately not to be visited, as it is currently closed. I was travelling in a small group of two women with a car. Our guide Albert maneuvered us safely through the streets of the city. He shone with his knowledge of history and was also able to tell us a lot about the daily life of the Lebanese. It was a wonderful trip that I will remember fondly. And if I should come back, I'm sure I'll book another tour: Perfectly organized, professional and super friendly!

He was polite, with excellent manners and an amazing sense of humor. The group size was four people which made it possible to become friends with each other and laugh throughout the trip. Overall, everything was meticulously planned. Thank you
