Exploring Lebanon’s Gems: Harissa, Byblos & Batroun – Highly Recommended Tour!

5.00We had an amazing experience visiting Harissa, Byblos, and Batroun in Lebanon. The whole trip was well-organized, smooth, and absolutely worth it! In Harissa, the view overlooking Jounieh Bay was breathtaking. The atmosphere was peaceful and spiritual, and it was the perfect start to our day. Then we continued to Byblos, one of the oldest cities in the world. Walking through the old souk and exploring the historic sites felt like stepping back in time. The combination of ancient history and seaside scenery was truly special. Finally, we visited Batroun, which was vibrant and charming. The old town, the sea wall, and the relaxing coastal vibe made it a perfect ending to the tour. A special shoutout to our tour guide, Albert. He was absolutely fantastic! His explanations were very clear, detailed, and engaging. He didn’t just give basic information — he shared historical context, cultural insights, and interesting stories that made every location come alive. You can really feel his passion and deep knowledge about Lebanon. He was also friendly, patient, and very accommodating with our group. Honestly, Albert made the whole experience even more meaningful and enjoyable. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to truly understand and appreciate Lebanon’s history and beauty. 10/10 experience — would definitely recommend this tour to other travelers! 🌟

5.00We had an amazing tour trough the north of Lebanon! We were picked up directly from our hotel in Beirut and taken to three beautiful places: Harissa (with the stunning statue), Batroun, and Byblos, where we enjoyed a delicious meal. Everything was perfectly organized from start to finish. Our guide and driver, Albert, was excellent, he spoke very good English and explained everything clearly, sharing lots of interesting information about each location. He made the whole experience even better. Highly recommended, 5 stars from me!

5.00We had an absolutely fantastic day with Hassan! He kindly picked us up from the hotel, which made everything so easy from the start. We explored several incredible places, beginning with the breathtaking Jeita Upper Cave, followed by the stunning views at Harissa, and finishing with a wonderful stop in Byblos. Hassan is incredibly knowledgeable and shared so much interesting information throughout the day. We also really enjoyed chatting with him and the other lovely people on the tour, great company all round! It was a truly memorable experience and a highlight of our trip.
