It was beautiful exploring it with Albert! He was so kind and patient and answered all questions and also gave such interesting insights and perspectives on Lebanon, not only pertaining to the places we visit but also everything else. I had such a great time and i highly recommend this tour! Worth it really!

Very good, the driver Ruben was nice, he explained to us each place we were going to, explained the history of Lebanon… The excursions were nice. It was excellent. Small minus because it’s still quite expensive.

Excellent day tour. The rain did not dampen our spirits. John, driver and guide is very gracious, kind, calm and professional. He’s also a very safe driver.

Very good tour, it's a shame that because of the war in the south we couldn't do so many things

The guide is very fun. In addition to explaining everything to us
