Overview

Mobile ticket
Jeita Grotto, Harissa, and Byblos are the three destinations that appear on almost every Lebanon first-timer's list — and for good reason. This private day trip gets you to all three exclusively at your own pace, with a knowledgeable English-speaking driver who covers the key facts and stories at each stop. No group to keep up with. No fixed schedule beyond the pickup time. Just three of Lebanon's most iconic destinations, a private vehicle, and eight hours.
Jeita Grotto: a UNESCO tentative World Heritage Site and New 7 Wonders of Nature finalist — 9 kilometres of limestone caves 30 minutes from Beirut. Harissa: the cable car ride to 650 metres above the Mediterranean and the iconic shrine of Our Lady of Lebanon. Byblos: one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities on earth — 7,000 years of Phoenician, Roman, and Crusader history in a single coastal site. Entrance tickets and lunch payable on site — you control the budget on the day.

5.00We were two days with Fadi. I would like to thank you at the first because of tours and inform you Fadi is a nice real man, kind, flexible, professional, honest, polite, conversationalist. We wish we could visit whole the world with Fadi as a tour guide. The passengers enjoy the time with him.
Very good driver, a bit pricy

4.00Mr. Kassem was a very good driver, helpful, knowledgeable and a happy person, that makes you feel comfortable 2 minutes after meeting him. The tour was pricey though. With less money, travelers can have lunch too.

4.00Pick up was slightly late due to our hotel location and traffic but Hussein was very apologetic. He provided great service throughout the tour without being over pushy. I booked this tour as we could choose what we wanted and did not want to do- much better than an all inclusive! Hussein was excellent, knowledgeable and very polite. See my separate review of Manuella restaurant- a fantastic choice
Thank you Kassem!
