    This was by far the best one day tour I spent while in Lebanon. You get to see such diversity ing one day. You get to see such a drastic difference in Lebanese society in single day. You get to see conservative Tripoli and the old Souks. Then in less than a 20 minute drive, you see liberal Batroun and people on the beach. What’s unique about this experience that you will not find anywhere else in the world, is that that both Tripoli and Batroun are both Labenese. Dave did a great job explaining and entertaining. I got a real sense of what it’s really like and not just the generic touristy experience. I highly recommend that you include this as part of your visit.

    David was a great tour guide, showed us around in Tripoli and Batroun. He was so friendly that it felt like a day around with a friend, rather than a tour. He was still very knowledgeable and helped us understand all the sights we were seeing in their context. Highly recommended, thanks again David!

He is so knowledgeable and passionate about Lebanon! I would highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to learn about the rich history of Lebanon and see how different and diverse each region/city/town is!

    David is a great tour guide! He is very knowledgeable about the history of Tripoli and Lebanon, he’s outgoing, and funny. I had so much fun on the tour and I learned a lot. I was very lucky to go on a Friday when the streets aren’t as busy in Tripoli and I was the only one on the tour that day. He took me around the old madrassa and souk of Tripoli and then to the castle ruins. Afterwards, we had traditional Lebanese sweets and coffee before heading to the party sea side village of Batroun, where we got to see all the beautiful churches and the old phoenician wall. Absolutely recommended!

    Citadel Saint Gilles (Qal'at Sinjil)

    Citadel Saint Gilles (Qal'at Sinjil)

    Towering above Tripoli and the river, this Crusader fortress was originally built during the period from 1103 to 1104. Burned down in 1297, it was partly rebuilt the following century by a Mamluk emir and is still used by the Lebanese military. Today, it's an impressive structure whose most impressive element is the imposing entrance with its moat and three gateways (one Ottoman, one Mamluk, one Crusader). Inside, there are decent information panels as well as a small museum.
