Hassan the tour guide was very professional, on-time, and knowledgeable too. Bookings through Hussein was prompt, informative, and also accommodating to changes in my schedule. Baaalbek was truly a spectacular place and worth the long drive from Beirut. Would love to go on tours with Lebanon Tours and Travels again next time I visit the country!
