Just had the most incredible day on this guided tour, the sights, the places, the people were all incredible. We started the day at the 'Shrine of our Lady of Lebanon', a beautiful peaceful place for reflection with amazing views stretching far across Lebanon.
This was followed by a 'whistle top' tour of Batroun, Albert took us to the world famous Lemonade shop and then to every part of the old town. Albert shared all his expert knowledge of the town giving our visit depth and context.
Then we went to Byblos, we visited the citadel with an archaeologist guide taking us around the whole site explaining in depth the 8,000 years of history and people who had lived in this beautiful place.
Lunch was at a beautiful restaurant overlooking the harbour, I ate the best sea bass with traditional Lebanese meze.
Then we had time to look around the streets/markets where the people were friending and the shops sold the most beautiful items.
Then back to Beirut, after a lovely day with lovely people all made perfect with our driver and guide Albert
