My first day in Lebanon began with a tour heading south, guided by Hassane, who made me feel safe, friendly, and welcomed. As someone who has been learning Arabic, I was immediately comfortable practicing with him, and he was supportive of my efforts. The journey was enjoyable, with brief stops at local shops and stalls. I appreciated the chance to meet the locals, and Hassane helped me engage with them and understand their way of life. The archaeological sites were stunning, complemented by knowledgeable guides who were passionate about their work and eager to answer questions. Learning about both the modern and ancient aspects of Lebanon was enriching. I highly recommend this tour for anyone considering exploring Lebanon, especially if you can have the same hospitality from Hassane. As a busy project manager from the UK looking for a break, this trip was a perfectly smooth experience, with accommodating people and memorable interactions throughout. It was truly a great pleasure.
I had a wonderful experience thanks to the professionalism and attitude of the guides from Lebanon tours. My tour was with Albert, and it was a true pleasure to have him by my side throughout the journey. He provided detailed explanations and ensured our satisfaction. He even helped us find a great place to buy fruits. The tour was engaging, and I recommend visiting Byblos and Harissa if you're short on time. Although traveling to southern Lebanon may seem daunting, we managed perfectly well.
Lucie served as our guide, and she was outstanding, leading us through the ruins and the streets of Sidon and Tyre. Exploring the markets, churches, and trying a variety of foods made for a wonderful experience. I highly recommend this fantastic trip.

This was my second experience with Lebanese Travel Agency, and it was another wonderful tour. Albert took us through Sidon and Tyre, including the old market, sharing invaluable insights. His knowledge, kindness, and presence made the tour exceptional. Mateo accompanied us as well, providing clear and thorough explanations at each site, demonstrating both preparation and passion. Lunch was included, and we enjoyed plentiful and tasty food at a local restaurant. Their dedication to their work truly shines through, making Lebanon an unforgettable memory for me.
Thanks to my driver Albert, I was able to visit numerous sites in the South, including Sidon's sea castle, the soap factory museum, and Tyre Necropolis. He even assisted me in reaching the Saint Nicholas church in Sidon. Our discussions in the car were enjoyable, and he was very informative about my trip to Lebanon. The company's staff is well-versed in the historical and cultural attractions, allowing you to see them all in just one day. I appreciated returning to Beirut by evening, which was really convenient. I highly recommend this experience.
