Hassane was amazing. Super friendly and knowledgeable as well as very reasonably priced. Lebanon is too beautiful for everyone not to see at least once! There is so much to do and having a great tour guide such as Hassane was the perfect way to introduce myself to Beirut.
Excellent Tour of Beirut

We had a fantastic half-day tour of Beirut with our guide, Hassane. From the start, his communication was excellent, and he arrived right on time to pick us up. We explored key parts of the city including the bustling souks, impressive Roman historical sites, and the stunning Pigeon Rock. Hassane was incredibly knowledgeable about the city’s history and culture, spoke excellent English, and was warm and friendly throughout the tour. It was the perfect introduction to Beirut, and we left with a much deeper appreciation for the city. Highly recommended!

Had a wonderful time doing this trip in Beirut. It gives great insight into the history of Beirut, and you also see lots of parts of the city (great for giving you some ideas for areas that you may want to explore further in your trip). It's a great way to see all the landmarks in one day, such as the Museum, Pigeon Rocks, Martyr's Square, Beirut Souks and lots more. You will spend lots of time walking (so bring some good shoes), but it really is the only way to get an in depth look at Beirut and it's different Districts. My guide and Driver were both funny, welcoming, informative and spoke perfect English. You will also get tips on where to change currency, where the best restaurants and bars are and so much more. I did this trip on my first day in the city and I would recommend anybody else to do the same, as it's a half day trip too and its not too exhausting.
Excellent experience

The Beirut historical tour was a fantastic experience. At the end of the day, I really felt I had a very good overview and had seen all the important sites of the city. Pierre, who guided the tour, did a tremendous job and is truly an excellent ambassador for his beautiful country, very friendly, courteous, open-minded and pleasant to talk to. Next to this he is very knowledgeable and shares a lot of information which made the tour a most enriching and valuable experience. I can most warmly recommend the tour to anybody.

We did a last minute private tour with them. Appreciate the last minute flexibility. Driver was suuuper careful and lovely. Very flexible with itinerary. Bummer they charged us too much (10USD per person) and could improve a bit the detailed communication (like payment with card is available but not without stop at the office). overall good though.
Amazing city
