Jeita Grotto,Harissa&Byblos Full-Day PRIVATE-CAR Trip from Beirut

Harake the man!

I had the pleasure of touring Lebanon with Harake, and it was an unforgettable experience! Harake guided me through the breathtaking Jeita Grotto, the serene Harissa, the historic Byblos, and vibrant Beirut. His excellent English, combined with his hilarious sense of humor and deep knowledge, made the tour both fun and informative. Lebanon is truly a treasure trove of hidden gems and stunning landscapes. The food is incredibly delicious, offering a culinary adventure in every meal. Despite what some may think, the country feels very safe, and Harake ensured that every aspect of the tour was smooth and enjoyable. I highly recommend exploring Lebanon with Harake as your guide!

PRIVATE Beirut Historical Walking Half Day Tour

Fun, interesting, and very informative - I highly recommend

I cannot recommend Dave enough. We were given his name by another traveller and were told how good he was. We were not disappointed. Dave told us the history of Lebanon, from ancient, through recent occupations and civil war to current times with port explosions, demonstrations in 2019, the banking crisis, and more. Good fun, very interesting and very flexible. We explored the old town (hit hard by the port explosion in 2020), the parliament, and finally saw why Beirut was once described as the Paris of the Middle East. Dave amended his tour at our request and we skipped the museum and headed up to the Jeita Grotto, and across to Byblos. We also negotiated another trip with him up the Cedars of God, and then across to Tripoli. Always informative and interesting - Dave also found us some great spots to stop for food, coffee and treats.
