PRIVATE Beirut Historical Walking Half Day Tour

Dave is not just an amazing tour guide but an overall amazing human. His love for Lebanon and Beirut shines clearly in this tour as he takes you through the history of this country spanning centuries and still going through tremendous changes. I fell in love with Beirut during this tour. Please contact Dave personally if you would like to request changes to the booking or for more tours around Lebanon. Don't skip this tour. Highly recommend!

I cannot recommend Dave enough. We were given his name by another traveller and were told how good he was. We were not disappointed. Dave told us the history of Lebanon, from ancient, through recent occupations and civil war to current times with port explosions, demonstrations in 2019, the banking crisis, and more. Good fun, very interesting and very flexible. We explored the old town (hit hard by the port explosion in 2020), the parliament, and finally saw why Beirut was once described as the Paris of the Middle East. Dave amended his tour at our request and we skipped the museum and headed up to the Jeita Grotto, and across to Byblos. We also negotiated another trip with him up the Cedars of God, and then across to Tripoli. Always informative and interesting - Dave also found us some great spots to stop for food, coffee and treats.

If you want firstly a superb guide with incredible knowledge and information, and value for money tour than this is the one for you. I had a fantastic half day tour of more then 6 hours, what I saw and experienced was beyond my expectations, Dave is a brilliant guide and I would recommend him very highly for anyone that wants to experience the past and present in Beirut. Do yourself a favour and contact him for a great Historical experience.

Good tour of Beirut, nice reliable guide and flexible with plans. Learned a lot about history and the locals. Recommend it!

I only had two days in Beirut / Lebanon so wanted to maximize my time here! Dave of Dave Lebanon D.M.C. picked me up at Beirut Rafic Hariri airport as I arrived from the States and we immediately began this half-day tour!! Dave is a life-long resident of Beirut so can add value and insight that others might not be able to. We moved at my pace, and Dave gave me insight into the current state of Lebanese affairs, the struggling economy, historical background, and so much more!! Dave knows Beirut and Lebanon very well and speaks all the languages and has many contacts throughout the various religious, political, and cultural groups. During the tour Dave eventually got me to my Hotel to check-in, and then we continued on our tour of Beirut. Highly recommend Dave and any tour he provides ( I also did his Baalbeck, Anjar, and Ksara tour the next day, 8/19/2023 -- see separate review.) Thanks Dave for two days of great experiences!!

We had a wonderful and very informative tour in Beirut with David. He gave us a lot of background information about the city and about Lebanon. Thanks a lot and highly recommended!

Wow! What an excellent tour provided by Dave! He was truly exceptional! His knowledge and passion for Lebanon is so admirable and I truly learned so much. Would highly recommend a tour with him if you are visiting. We were able to see all the sights. Cannot wait to return.

It was amazing trip - tour guide shared with me beautiful history of Lebanon and Beirut - I strongly recommend it. //Regards Piotr

Great tour of a fascinating city .....our guide David was extremely knowledgable and gave us the insights we would have missed on our own

The Beirut Historical half day tour was an outstanding experience. With his well-founded knowledge of Lebanese history, Dave (from Davelebanon) made many connections clear to me and gave me a lot of background information. I can heartily recommend this tour.
