Then we will go to Bsharre to visit the Gibran Museum, a former monastery that is the final resting place of the Lebanese poet, philosopher and artist Kahlil Gibran, and now houses his artwork and other belongings. Our last stop for the day is the convent of St Anthony of Kozhaya, one of the many monasteries built in the valley. It is built partly inside the mountain and partly outside, and is surrounded by a very beautiful panorama of forest, rocky cliffs and valley

My friend and I ended up going on 4 tours with Luka and each day was excellent. We managed to see most of the country and I absolutely recommend seeing Lebanon with him! He is incredibly knowledgeable and will tell you all kinds of stories, facts and history. He's reliable, communicative, professional, accommodating and also super fun to be around. He goes out of his way to make you feel welcome and I honestly cannot recommend him enough.

I am happy to have found this tour and I appreciate their flexibility, as they confirmed us the night before-- at 23:00! Our guide was informative and a good driver. My friend and I felt that we got in some good views and it was worth every penny. You must take this tour to really experience Lebanon! Although, I was not a big fan of lunch at their chosen restaurant. It's one of those overly priced tourist spots that try to guilt you into paying cash by saying the CC machine is down. I know all the tricks, I'm from the 3rd world baby! ;-)

I recently visited Baalbek, Qadisha Valley, Sidon, Tyre, Chouf Mountains, Byblos, Batroun, Tripoli and enjoyed the tours organized by Lebanon Tours and Travels. The day tours are well designed to include essential sites, lunch with local flavors, and some with local guides. My driver/guide Albert is professional and friendly who has made the trip a memorable experience. The tour company is also helpful on many requests including taking you to a PCR test if needed. Lebanon is a beautiful country with amazing history and culture, and this tour company is highly recommended if you get to visit.
