Qadisha valley is one of the most important settlement sites of the first Christian monasteries in the world, and its monasteries, many of which of great age, are set in an extraordinarily rugged landscape. The Qadisha Valley comprises all the caves, monasteries and cultivated terraces that are associated with the activities from a very early phase of Christianity.

I traveled to Cedars of God with Lebanon Tours in may 2025. Our group was small which made things easier. The Museum of Khalil Gibran is interesting and the Cedars Forest is impressive as so are the views of the Valley. Our tour guide Albert is very kind and respectful. Just one thing I have to add and that is that they should advise everyone to bring a sweater or a jacket since your are traveling to a place above 2000 meters above sea level
Fantastic!

Due to the situation with Israel, Lebanon has very few tourists. I was alone on the trip and it was wonderful.
Beautiful monastery, Gibran museum, and the unmisserable Cedars of God

I’ve taken five tours with Lebanon tours and travel, and all of them were fantastic. Our guide for this tour was Hassan, and we enjoyed a lot the visits, restaurant and all his explanations. He even dropped us in the Mineral museum as requested in our way back to the hotel!. Don’t have any doubt, Lebanon tours & travel is a serious and reliable company.
Calm beautiful day in mountains and nature

This tour was fabulous with Rita as our guide. She was friendly knowledgeable and took great care of everyone. Khalil Gebran home was filled with an incredible amount of his works, paintings and books. Seizing the cedar grove was breathtaking. During our lunch, I was abl e to see the cooking of the bread on a Saj. The Qadisha valley was just inspiring
Excellent tour!

Excellent tour! Rita was an excellent guide, answered all our questions knowledgeably, she really knows everything about Lebanon! She helped us with tips and advice and to organise some details for other trips. Lunch was delicious with a great view (just too much food! Ask them to half the order, it will still be plenty;). Abu Majed was an excellent confident driver. Highly recommended, without hesitation! Thank you Rita and Abu Majed!

I had a great trip to Qadisha, Bsharri and Cedars. The landmarks were visited were all very interesting and beautiful. Our guide Rita was very friendly, helpful and made sure everyone was comfortable. She also gave us a lot of interesting information about the places we went to. Our driver Abdelnasser was also very friendly and drove very safely through the mountains. We also had a delicious lunch at a restaurant in the mountains. The overall experience was amazing and I surely recommend this trip.
