Lebanon tours and trips I had a wonderful trip to the south of Lebanon with Albert as our guide. The pick-up and drop-off were very easy and convenient, and the ride was comfortable throughout the trip.

We were able to see many of the main attractions, ruins, and hidden gems throughout the cities of southern Lebanon. Despite the ongoing aggression in the south, I felt that the tour company and our guide handled everything professionally, safely, and in a very timely manner.

Albert and the team were extremely knowledgeable and were able to answer all of my questions about the history, culture, and sites we visited. I really appreciated being able to experience and learn about this beautiful part of Lebanon, especially places that I may not have been able to discover on my own.

The tour was also excellent value for the money and made for the perfect day trip. It was a great way to see so much of southern Lebanon in one day without having to worry about transportation, planning the route, or navigating between the different sites yourself.

Overall, it was an excellent experience, and I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone who wants to explore the incredible history, culture, and beauty of southern Lebanon.

Byblos & jeitta grotto with Legendary guide Hassane Jeita Grotto, Harissa & Byblos: Small Group Tour with Hotel Pickup Review
Rating: 5/5 ⭐
Tour Guide: Hassane
Highlights: Exceptional local guiding, smooth door-to-door transport, rich Phoenician & medieval history
If you want to hit Lebanon’s top day-trip sights outside of Beirut without the stress of navigating traffic or coordinating transport, this small group tour is as good as it gets. Packing natural caves, mountain views, and ancient coastal history into an 8-hour loop, the pacing is spot on—and having Hassane as our tour guide made the whole experience unforgettable. Hassane brought immense energy, deep historical knowledge, and flawless timing, ensuring everyone felt taken care of from start to finish.
* Jeita Grotto: Getting an early start at the caves is key before the afternoon crowds arrive. Hassane shared great context on the limestone formations before we headed inside. Walking through the massive upper cavern filled with stalactites and taking the boat through the lower subterranean lake was a incredible way to kick off the day.
* Harissa (Our Lady of Lebanon): Next was the scenic cable car (Téléférique) ride up to the shrine overlooking Jounieh Bay. Standing below the iconic white statue of Our Lady of Lebanon offers sweeping coastal views. Hassane managed our stop time perfectly so no one felt rushed taking photos or exploring the site.
* Byblos (Jbeil): The tour finishes in one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities on earth. Hassane guided us through the archaeological ruins overlooking the sea, detailing the Phoenician roots, Roman columns, Crusader Castle, and ancient artifacts (like the famous bronze figurines and storage amphorae). We wrapped up with free time to stroll through the stone-paved souks and the historic fishing harbor.
Practical Details
* Pickup & Logistics: Direct hotel pickup and drop-off in an air-conditioned vehicle took away all transportation headaches.
* Group Dynamic: Small group sizing allowed Hassane to keep things engaging and answer everyone’s individual questions effortlessly.
* Tips: Wear comfortable walking shoes for the uneven cobblestones and ruins in Byblos. Carry a bit of cash for local souvenirs or snacks in the souk.

Incredible Day at the Cedars & Qadisha Valley We did another private tour with Hassane, this time to the Cedars and Qadisha Valley, and it was an incredible experience!

The scenery throughout the day was absolutely beautiful. The Cedars were amazing to see in person, and Qadisha Valley was easily one of the most impressive places we visited during our time in Lebanon.

Once again, Hassane was fantastic. He’s very knowledgeable, professional, and just an easy person to spend the day with. Everything was well organized, but the tour still felt relaxed and flexible. We never felt rushed and had plenty of time to enjoy the views, walk around, take photos, and experience each stop.

After doing multiple tours with Hassane, I can confidently say he made a huge difference in our trip to Lebanon. Great guide and genuinely great guy. Highly recommend!
