Nice trip in the South of Lebanon with a very helpful and professional guide. Given the situation, I was alone with him as most tourists avoid the area, which made it even better as we could tailor the tour towards what I was more interested in. The guide took the time to walk me through Tyre and Saida and on top of the sites to visit there.

A day trip I will never forget. Everything was perfect. Pick up from the hotel, then Sidon with the fascinating souk, followed by Tyros with the excavations and the harbour. It is said that this is the oldest city in the world, which has always been inhabited without interruption since its foundation. Then we went on to the historic Maghdouché. My guide was Susan, my driver Nasser, with both I had already completed the previous day the Beirut City Tour. Thank you both, you were great! The organization was first class. The price for the day tour was really okay. I will be back again and book some other tours with this company, thank you very much!
