Tripoli is the second largest city in Lebanon. The Beautiful city combines the ancient and the modern. Our objective is the old souks in the heart of the city. Small shops of all kind. Craftsmen, traditional pastries, fishermen, dressmakers, carpenters, painters and a number of artificial artistes gathering in a 500 years old open air market trying to sell their products. Uptown is the Crusades fortress . All civilizations and armies seized this strategic spot to control the city and its surroundings. The sweets palace dates back to 1881 when a family of talented Chefs decided to start a big sweet factory in the city. It is not only Baklava but a wide variety of tastes and pastry arts displayed in front of you for your savor and your personal palate… the Chef is there and happy to explain about every single flavor. An average ride to this small lovely Phoenician city of Batroun; the tourist’s street is such a lovely place as well as the old Phoenician wall defenses and port.

It was an excellent experience and a very fun time with the knowledgeable driver. He knew the places and roads as we all know the ABCs. The vehicle was extra clean and comfortable, and the tours extremely smooth. We highly recommend this chauffeur service.

I thoroughly enjoyed the cooking classes I had with Robin. They were a lockdown birthday present from my Husband. Fantastic gift idea! Robin was very kind, pleasant, and extremely flexible! I am pregnant and cannot stay on my feet for very long. Robin was kind enough to split the cooking class in two separate lessons. The food was excellent and my husband and I had a lot of fun learning about Lebanon and the country's culinary delights! I highly recommend this experience!

With only 48 hours in Lebanon and a list as long as my arm I couldn’t find anything from the larger companies so I turned to Mohamed. Mohamed answered queries quickly and promptly before I arrived, himself and his team went above and beyond and they know all the best places to eat avoiding the tourist traps. In a short time I felt that I saw a lot of Lebanon and was kept entertained throughout as a solo traveller Best of all is the price: The cheapest airport transfer Beirut to Balbeck private tour and transfer Harissa and Byblos Mohamed was helpful in dropping me off wherever I wanted after the tours had ended. His team are excellent and I look forward to returning to Lebanon with my family
