Our day at Chouwen Lake was absolutely brilliant for both hiking and swimming. The drive was smooth, and communication from the booking process to the trip day was excellent. Robin was fantastic and very knowledgeable, bringing humor and high spirits during the challenging sections of the hike. We are grateful for the chance to visit such a beautiful place that we wouldn't have discovered otherwise. This tour comes highly recommended.
This was an incredible and stunning location that I truly enjoyed. I would undoubtedly repeat this experience. My guide, Ziad, was exceptional, ensuring everything went perfectly and making the drive enjoyable. I recommend anyone visiting Lebanon to take this hike and request Ziad as their guide. You would really miss out if you don't take part in this!
Having already had an incredible experience with Robin on my first trip, I eagerly booked another adventure with him, this time to the breathtaking Chouwen. Once again, everything was perfect. Chouwen truly is a paradise, featuring lush forests, clear waters, and wonderful hiking trails. We spent our day hiking through stunning nature, and when we reached the water, we were able to swim in its beauty. Robin, as always, was the highlight of the experience. He guided the hike at an ideal pace, ensured everyone was enjoying themselves, and enriched our journey with his engaging stories. His positive and uplifting energy makes it feel like you're exploring with a friend rather than just a guide. To make the day even better, we enjoyed some of the tastiest local food, among the best I've had in Lebanon. I can't emphasize enough how exceptional Robin is—friendly, professional, patient, and a sheer delight to be around. Every time I return to Lebanon, I will undoubtedly plan my trips with him.
A truly stunning location that everyone should experience. I had an enjoyable day with Robin, who made for an excellent tour guide as he showed us around. I highly recommend it.
This activity is essential when visiting Lebanon. The beauty of the mountains and flowing fresh water is something pictures can’t truly capture; it felt like a dream. Our guide, Ziad, was fantastic with his excellent English and deep historical knowledge, making it enjoyable and captivating for the family. Lebanon is safe, and this site is definitely worth experiencing.
We had a fantastic experience with our guide Mahdi. Make sure to book with him for an exceptional tour. This trip was truly remarkable, and it's definitely worth it. Thank you, Mahdi! Omar and Adam will remember you and plan to book again on our next visit to Lebanon.
The trip to Chouwan with Roben was incredible. He provided thorough explanations and was attentive, even advising on appropriate attire. I got to visit the best spots for photos early on, and I truly cherished this experience. I'll always remember it. Thank you once more.
I arranged this excursion with Zingy Ride and had an exceptional time. Robin was punctual at my pickup point, allowing me to enjoy the location early without large crowds. The hike was enjoyable, and Lake Chouwen looked exactly like the pictures, with its clear emerald waters surrounded by greenery. I wholeheartedly recommend exploring Lebanon with Zingy Ride, and I want to acknowledge Robin for his professionalism and smooth handling of the tour.
My experience in Lebanon was exceptional. Robin was fantastic and incredibly knowledgeable. I enjoyed my time with him and the other participants. I highly recommend this tour. It's a moderate hike, but swimming in the lake is a rewarding payoff. Thank you, Robin.
The tour featured an excellent guide, but I was surprised to find I was the only participant. The company did not communicate this in advance, which made me uncomfortable as a woman traveling alone with a male guide. Thankfully, my guide was kind, but overall, I rate the experience with 5 stars for him, and 1 star for the high price and the company's logistics.
