Private Panoramic Beirut City Tour | Half Day
Overview

Mobile ticket
Beirut is a city that surprises everyone who visits it — more layered, more contradictory, more alive than any description prepares you for. In four private hours, this tour takes you through its most iconic landmarks — from the Mediterranean seafront to the ancient downtown, from a bullet-scarred Civil War hotel to Roman baths buried in the heart of a modern city.
Your expert guide unlocks the stories behind what you see — why a grand mosque and an Orthodox cathedral stand metres apart on the same square, what the unrepaired Holiday Inn facade says about Lebanon's history, and how a city that has been destroyed and rebuilt so many times still manages to feel so completely, defiantly itself. Perfect for first-time visitors, cruise passengers, and anyone who wants to understand Beirut before exploring Lebanon further.

5.00The tour’s highlights are definitely the national museum, the souks as well as the city centre. Georgette (sorry if i didn’t spelled her name correctly) has so much knowledge, she is very friendly and we feel we learned so much about the past culture and present daily life. Nothing more to add, the tour was great with a bit of everything. Highly recommended!
