We had an amazing time with Maik! Not only is he a very good driver, he also showed us all we needed to see in Beirut and had a lot of background knowledge without overwhelming us with information. He was very patient and stopped whenever we wanted to take pictures or do some shopping. Maik is a great guide and we highly recommend him!
