Dave is such a nice guide who showed me the beauty of Lebanese landscape and the country's culture. The walk path is accessible for anyone and the scenery is amazing ! For anyone who travels to Beirut/Lebanon I would advise to book an activity with Dave Lebanon DMC and its wonderful team ! Definitely worth it !
Thank you very much. Looking forward to serving you again soon.
What a great experience to walk at Mount Lebanon in the Cedars forest. All the way from booking, communication, hotel pick up, arrival to the national park, guide, hike, return back to the hotel was great and with a high quality. Answers to some of my few questions came immediately and I felt in good hands. It was really great to arrive to the national park and to have a chat with the staff. I felt so welcome and got coffee waiting for my guide. Easy hike of 3 hours with a lot of information from my guide. Got a lot of information about the forest and mountains. A good dialogue with my guide. I can strongly recommend to take this hike from DaveLebanon. I look forward to come back to Lebanon to see more of this beautiful country. And book more trips together with Dave.
Thank you so much! We look forward to seeing and assisting you again in Lebanon.
Dave and Caroline were fantastic tourguides, so helpful and with a vast knowledge of all of Lebanon, I really enjoyed the trip and the following hike in the cedars forest, with astonishing views of the beautiful landscape and down to the Mediterranean.
Great to read your comments and glad that you enjoyed the day. Thank you so much! Dave & Caroline
This was a great hiking experience we had a 3 hour walk in the Cedars Forest , everything was well organised and professional. It felt sensational bonding with nature and David and his team added this feel of being around lifetime friends and family. Super experience where all expectations are meet topped with genuine humain interaction. Highly recommend and many thanks to David, Caroline and Wessam - to more excursions when next in town
Many thanks from all our team. We are glad that you had an excellent experience. Looking forward to serving you again. The Team.
The symbol of Lebanon. A large forest, free entrance, ask only one donation in any amount, so there is no stipulated amount. Enjoy to go to the convent/monastery of Santo Antonio on the same day
The symbol of all Lebanese! An optional donation to the committee of the Besharre cedars forest is indeed a good support to protect and maintain the forest. You may also plant a baby tree, give it a name, and the committee will babysit for the first 10 years until it grows... For a small amount! You may ask for photos every year to follow the procedure and watch your baby grow in the majestic mountains of Lebanon! Best regards
