John was a brilliant guide and driver, I asked him questions non-stop and he answered every one with patience, grace and good humour, never once making me feel I was overdoing it. I wanted to spend more time having sweets at Hallam than at the castle in Tripoli and he simply reworked the day around that, so it felt like it was built for me rather than a standard tour. Smooth driving, good company and a love of where he's from. This was my second trip and would not hesitate to recommend this guide and this company to anyone visiting Lebanon!

Amazing Day Exploring Tripoli & Batroun
We had an amazing private tour of Tripoli and Batroun with Hassane!
From the beginning, Hassane was extremely friendly, professional, and very easy to communicate with. He made the entire day easy for us and took care of everything, so we could just relax and enjoy the experience.
Tripoli and Batroun were both absolutely beautiful. Having Hassane with us made all the difference. He knows the areas very well, showed us places we probably would have never found on our own, and gave us a much better understanding of what we were seeing along the way.
What I really appreciated was how personal and relaxed the tour felt. Nothing felt rushed or overly touristy. We were able to take our time, ask questions, take photos, and really enjoy both cities.
Hassane is a great guy and an excellent guide. This was easily one of the highlights of our trip to Lebanon. I highly recommend booking with him if you're visiting. We would absolutely tour with him again!

An unforgettable day trip north of Beirut
What can I say—I had an unforgettable day trip on July 1, 2026, full of wonderful surprises. Albert (the best tour guide ever) picked me up from my lodging and tailored the day’s itinerary to my preferences. Tripoli and Batroun are very different, but that’s exactly what made this tour unique. I’d already enjoyed Byblos, the Jeita Grotto, and the beautiful town of Harissa with Lebanon Tours back in December, and I’d also been to Anjar and Baalbek—all the tours were with Albert. He’s so knowledgeable and always made me feel safe! Lebanon is definitely worth a visit—I got home yesterday and I’m already feeling wanderlust for the Middle East again 🫶

The place to be for tours in Libanon !!
Today I took this tour with a small group .
Albert was our tour guide and I was completely surprised by his knowledge.
He made our trip into a trip never to forget .

He is also a excellent driver, traffic around the cities is chaotic
I can highly recommend this company .
They are reliable, and price-quality excellent.

Tripoli and Batroun
The tour goes to Tripoli and Batroun I. Northern Lebanon, two very different coastal towns. It is a great experience and Alain our guide with his vast knowledge and the skillful driver Mustafa navigating through, at times, heavy traffic, contribute to the enjoyment of the tour.

Excellent tour to the North
The tour to Tripoli and Batroun is a great experience with two contrasting locations, each with their own attraction.

Cultural
Everyone needs to experience Tripoli which is nothing like Beirut. The castle , mosque & souk were wonderful to visit. Lunch at the famous 1881 was a real highlight. Batroun was nice, a very coastal feel.

Fascinating places, very competent guide
I visited Lebanon for one week in June 2025 and stayed in Beirut. I spent two days in Beirut alone and took four day tours outside of Beirut with this company. The Jeita Gotto, another site that I had signed up to visit, was closed during that time, but the company made up for it by taking me to a couple of extra sites in Tripoli and sending me to Batroun on a different day.
Hassane was my guide for both cities. He did a wonderful job. He was extremely competent, knowledgeable, and courteous. I had an excellent experience here and everywhere else that I visited.
Tripoli is the northernmost major city in Lebanon. It is one of the country’s poorest places and the center of a large number of camps for Palestinian and Syrian migrants. The city is overwhelmingly Sunni Muslim. In Tripoli, we visited the Tripoli Citadel, a massive Crusader-era castle built in the early 12th century overlooking the city. We walked through the city souk and visited two Mamluk-era mosques from the late 13th and early 14th centuries: the Mansouri Grand Mosque and the Taynal Mosque. I forget the name of the restaurant where we ate, but it was very good. We then went to Rabbits Island. As someone who studies the Crusades, I knew it as a place with a church to which many people fled as Tripoli was retaken by Muslim forces in 1289, only to be massacred. There were a few ruined buildings there which Hassane said dated from the 19th century, but not much else to see. The standard tour includes just the Tripoli Citadel, the souk, the Grand Mosque, and lunch at a restaurant. The Taynal Mosque and the island were added in to compensate for the loss of Jeita, which was fine by me.
Because I could not visit Jeita, I did Batroun with Hassane on a different day in combination with Harissa and Byblos. Batroun is a mostly Christian city, but it is more diverse than Tripoli and has a substantial Muslim minority. The city provides a beautiful view of the Mediterranean with a Phoenician-era wall. We entered Our Lady of the Sea Church, a little Greek Orthodox church on the coastline built in the 19th century. We walked through the town a little before going back to the area where we parked, stopping first at Saint Stephen’s Cathedral, a 20th century Maronite church built on the remains of what is believed to have been a smaller Crusader church. We only stayed in Batroun for about an hour, which is less than what we spent in some other places, but I feel as though I saw the most important sites that the city had to offer.
Tripoli is an excellent place to learn about the history of the Crusades and medieval Muslim history, and provides a great opportunity to experience Sunni Muslim culture. I highly recommend it. Batroun was definitely worth the one-hour visit. Hassane was excellent and substantially added to my understanding and appreciation of the past and present history of both cities.
