5.00A great tour , the palace of Beiteddin is a spectacular piece of architecture & the village of Deir el Qamar has a lovely atmosphere. I was lucky enough to sit down with some locals in Deir el Qamar and have a refreshing Lemonade. The tour finished with a visit to Matyr Square Beirut & visiting the historical Mosque & St Georges Cathedral. To the guide Paula she is what the country is about, warm, caring with a wonderful sense of humour and her knowledge is incredible. Do this tour !

5.00Highly recommended trip to discover both cities in one day. Starting in Beirut, the vibrant capital, we immersed ourselves in its bustling streets, discovering a blend of modernity and ancient charm. Moving to Beiteddin, the journey took us to the splendid Beiteddin Palace, a masterpiece of Lebanese architecture nestled in the picturesque Chouf Mountains. The intricate mosaics, elegant courtyards, and lush gardens reflected the opulence of Lebanon's Ottoman era rulers, making it a highlight of the trip. Deir el Qamar enchanted with its well-preserved medieval architecture and tranquil atmosphere. Wandering through its narrow stone alleys, we explored ancient churches, traditional Lebanese houses. Throughout the tour, our guide Albert was patient, polite and shared insightful narratives, adding depth to each site's significance. this guided tour provided an unforgettable glimpse into Lebanon's past and present. Highly recommended for history enthusiasts and those seeking a deeper understanding of Lebanese culture.

5.00ThisI ended up being a solo tour with Rita. Seein Beirut, the history behind pigeon rock, the cathedral and the Beirut museum. How artifacts were found protected. In Beitteddine She explained the history in such a way I was able to piece together something I learned in another country and to find it began and ended in Lebanon. It was incredible.
Great

5.00Rita is a great guide! She knows a lot and takes care of everything. If you go on a trip with this company you are lucky if she is on it! The other trips they offer are in my opinion more interesting and impressive, compared to the others this one is a little bit boring.
Last day of excursions before return.

5.00Excursion to Beiruth History Museum. Visit the Beit El Deen Mountains, Mount Beirut, food and return to downtown Beirut to visit Down Town. Our guide Georgette, very professional and knowledgeable about the history of your country. Choffer Mounaff, very correct. We'd already made a move with him. Everything great!! The visit is very interesting, especially the first and last part of the tour. It helps to understand the current situation in this country. Get better, today's food joint. The food is not bad, but it is a roadside bar neither attractive nor especially recommended.
