No es solo Baklava, sino una amplia variedad de sabores y artes de pastelería que se muestran frente a usted para su gusto y su paladar personal... el chef está allí y feliz de explicarle cada sabor.

Itinerario
Batroun es una encantadora ciudad costera fenicia en el norte del Líbano. Las calles antiguas, B&B, playas, cervecerías, bodegas y murallas fenicias lo convierten en un auténtico destino hermoso.
Elevada sobre Trípoli y el río, esta fortaleza cruzada fue construida originalmente durante el período comprendido entre 1103 y 1104. Quemada en 1297, fue parcialmente reconstruida en el siglo siguiente por un emir mameluco y todavía es utilizada por los militares libaneses. Hoy en día, es una estructura impresionante cuyo elemento más impresionante es la imponente entrada con su foso y tres puertas de acceso (un otomano, un mameluco, un cruzado). En el interior, hay paneles de información decente, así como un pequeño museo.
El palacio de los dulces se remonta a 1881, cuando una familia de talentosos chefs decidió comenzar una gran fábrica de dulces en la ciudad. Los dulces locales son famosos en Trípoli. Tal vez los mejores dulces orientales que has probado? No solo se trata de Baklava, sino de una gran variedad de sabores y artes de pastelería que se muestran frente a usted para su sabor y su paladar personal ... el chef está allí y feliz de explicarle cada sabor.

This tour with Dave was completed worth it! It gave a glimpse into two very different worlds that exist in Lebanon with the more conservative side in Tripoli and more liberal side in Batroun. You also get some sweets along the way! I absolutely loved Batroun and hope to be back to spend more time!
Thank you, Nicholas, for your kind words and thoughtful review. My team and I are delighted that you enjoyed the contrast and richness of Lebanon’s diverse regions. It’s always a pleasure to share these experiences, and we would be glad to welcome you again for future adventures.
This was by far the best one day tour I spent while in Lebanon. You get to see such diversity ing one day. You get to see such a drastic difference in Lebanese society in single day. You get to see conservative Tripoli and the old Souks. Then in less than a 20 minute drive, you see liberal Batroun and people on the beach. What’s unique about this experience that you will not find anywhere else in the world, is that that both Tripoli and Batroun are both Labenese. Dave did a great job explaining and entertaining. I got a real sense of what it’s really like and not just the generic touristy experience. I highly recommend that you include this as part of your visit.
Thank you.
David was a great tour guide, showed us around in Tripoli and Batroun. He was so friendly that it felt like a day around with a friend, rather than a tour. He was still very knowledgeable and helped us understand all the sights we were seeing in their context. Highly recommended, thanks again David!
Likewise, indeed! Thank you for sharing your comments.
This tour exceeded my expectations, first of all Dave is an amazing person and he will take care of you and make you feel welcome! Detailed tour with lots of history, you'll walk around Tripoli and experience the whole vibe of the city. Then Batroun is a walkable town, filled with history, beautiful scenery and plenty of restaurants. Do not miss this tour! Thank you Dave!!!
Thank you, Natalia. We appreciate your comments. Sharing your experience is valuable indeed.
This tour was incredible! I’ve been on several tours around the world (70+ countries) and Dave is probably one of the best tour guides I have ever had! He is so knowledgeable and passionate about Lebanon! I would highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to learn about the rich history of Lebanon and see how different and diverse each region/city/town is!
Thank you, Jeremy. We appreciate your comments. Sharing your experience is valuable indeed.
David is a great tour guide! He is very knowledgeable about the history of Tripoli and Lebanon, he’s outgoing, and funny. I had so much fun on the tour and I learned a lot. I was very lucky to go on a Friday when the streets aren’t as busy in Tripoli and I was the only one on the tour that day. He took me around the old madrassa and souk of Tripoli and then to the castle ruins. Afterwards, we had traditional Lebanese sweets and coffee before heading to the party sea side village of Batroun, where we got to see all the beautiful churches and the old phoenician wall. Absolutely recommended!
Thank you, Fernando, a wonderful day indeed!
Great trip. Dave is a fantastic tour guide. Will be back for more tours in the future for sure. Highly recommended.
Thank you for recommending us. More tours, more fun! See you again soon.
I loved every minute of the tour. More than that though, I really enjoyed the drive to and from Tripoli as Dave the tour guide talked me through the history of his beloved country. From the food (the sweets are world class), history, buildings, and the people, it was a fantastic trip. I would highly recommend it to anyone. I will certainly be taking more tours with Dave on my next visit to Lebanon.
Thank you, Tommy, it was indeed an awesome trip. Please come again and I will be delighted to assist you. We will try all different sweets next time!
Your first stop in Tripoli should be the old souks. Head into the souk, a frenetic maze of jewelry shops, kaake vendors, and juice stands. Scattered throughout its tight alleyways are various Mamluk, Crusader, and Ottoman relics., like the Mansouri Mosque, the Khan Al Saboun, a beautiful courtyard where soap is still made by hand and Hammam El Jadid, a hammam with stunning mosaics and a glass dome ceiling.
Thank you.
The guide is an interesting person, and has been through a lot in his life in Lebanon, but a couple things left a bad taste in my mouth. At one point during the tour he acted like he was taking me to some special place that he was doing me some special favor by taking me to, and it ended up just being him dumping me off with the sales people of some boring soap shop where he obviously gets commissions. I had zero interest and it was an very awkward and annoying situation obviously designed to manipulate me to just cave into the pressure and buy something. It was a slimy and unprofessional move. Also he walks so fast and never even bothers check to see if you’re still with him. Id stop for half a second to take a picture of something and he’d be way off in the distance and Id almost lose him multiple times. And it was just me and him, its not like i was being slow or holding up a group. Like I said, he’s an interesting guy, if he stops the slimy soap shop con and actually lets people take a photo or look at something for half a second every once in a while without having to stress and go running after him the tour would be much improved.
I am sorry James, I should have been closer to you during the city walking tour. The traditional organic soap factory shop located in the Caravan Serail is part of the tour, I should have known that you are not interested. Oh and I am the owner of the agency, I don't get commissions! Thank you for your fruitful comments I will take them into consideration. Kind regards
