Our driver Mounaf was amazing, he made sure we felt safe and saw all the important sights.
Mounaf spoke very good English and had a lot of knowledge on the area. He spent the whole day with us and we appreciated his safe driving and the amount of care he took with us all day.
He's really well informed on the history of places, he joined in the fun with us and also helped us get good prices on things. He recommended a good restaurant for a sea front dinner at the end of the day too.
Thankyou Mounaf!

A memorable trip.
We have visited Byblos, harissa and grotto. Our driver is very friendly and very professional. However, the restaurant did not present us the bill, which makes us feel a bit sneaky and weird. The rest was perfect.
We recommend this trip to everyone visiting Beirut.

During our long weekend in Beirut we had airport transfers and the day tour from this company. Before, during and after the trip the communication was fast and clear. All drivers were where they needed to be and when they needed to be. They also sent whatsapps when they arrived.
The tour was in an good quality car and with nice driver. Our driver made sure we are comfortable and gave us a bit of knowledge of the areas and the culture. The sights are nice, but all companies have the same tours so the timely and good service is the key here. Would happily recommend this tour company for all Beirut needs.

A great day in a country where the UK foreign Office advise against travel . Likely to be because of the high inflation situation. It is safe, the people friendly, like anywhere it needs tourists to progress.
I have been in many grotto's. In Slovenia, UK, my youngest daughter swam in the one in Bermuda, Croatia, Italy, but this one at Jeita is the first time I have boated on a lake in one. It blew me away because I didn't expect to do that. The lake is in the lower chamber. There is an upper chamber to explore. Travel between the two is on a toy train.
Harissa for the Our Lady of Lebanon area is a dominating place as it overlooks the Lebanese coastline. It can be reached by cable car. I was driven up and descended by cable car. The real beauty aside from the spectacular architecture and well kept trees and gardens is the tranquility because it is a holy place.
Byblos has Greek, Roman ruins to see dominated by a well preserved, solid Arabic fort. It has a new town adjoining it beautifully constructed, geared to tourism.
My thanks go to a beautiful lady named Georgina for hosting me. She is well organised, calm, speaks perfect English, and tour guide Leila. Speaks English well and is very knowledgeable.
Give Lebanon a look over a long weekend, it is inexpensive and you won't be disappointed.

During our time in Lebanon. We had tour with this company twice. Everything was amazing but most especially the driver. Ziad was an exceptional driver, very informative and always ready to help. Very good and safe driver considering how is the driving situation in Lebanon. He was more like a friend rather than a driver. He will recommend you placed to visit. Go with this company and ask for Ziad. You will remember me. Your rasta friend from Cyprus
