I am happy that me and my friends went to this tour. We sow the amazing Baalbek and the ruins from Anjar. If you can, ask for Natasha the tour guide she explained us everything about Lebanese history and culture. She was great!. The lunch was incredible and also the 5 stars restaurant. We are very pleased that we took this tour._br/_ P.S. the wine testing was nice also

I really enjoyed it, but i thought the pacing was a little fast, I would have loved it more if I could leave the group and just wander around on my own more and meet up with the group later

Brilliant tour! Informative and especially loved the wine tasting at the end! Will now look out for Lebanese Ksara wines in the future!

The tour was well organized and informative. My driver picked me up on time at the hotel I was staying at, and we were dropped off at the main offices and the tour began promptly. Our guide spoke excellent English, and was very informative about what we saw. The sites were extraordinary, and the meal served was outstanding. Our guide even handled one member of the group who was, to be charitable, very challenging! I felt this was an excellent value for the money. I also found the website to be accessible and easy to manuever around. I will definately look to Viater to see what is available on future trips.

Good guide, nice bus, good lunch. I wasn't a big fan of the wine but others were.

This is a well worked out trip and it would be difficult to get to Anjar and Baalbek from Beirut on public transport. Both are well worth visiting - and Baalbek is truly spectacular. The lunch was really delicious - delicious Lebanese specialities - and the Ksara wine-tasting a good pay-off. It seemed a bit rushed at Baalbek and I would have appreciated another 30 minutes to look around. We got back quite early too._br/_ But a trip that's strongly recommended and well worth taking._br/_ Simon B

I've take Viator tours around the world. This was a good trip. A very wise and safe way to see the sites. I loved being in Lebanon. The people were nice and there were many tourists.

This tour was excellent - we saw so many wonderful sites and our guide Louise, was outstanding - very knowledgeable and engaging and also very considerate of all the needs and interests of tour participants. Lunch was great and the visit to the Ksara winery was an enjoyable finish to an unforgettable day. We should also complement the driver who was highly skilled and safely negotiated some challenging road conditions.

It was a wonderful tour that covered a lot of Southern Lebanon. My only complaint was that it was a bit rushed towards the end and we didn't really get to enjoy the wine tasting as we were short on time and only had a few minutes at the winery.

Be prepared for a long day. Baalbek is approximately 60 miles west of Beirut over mountains. It was interesting to see 4000 year old Roman ruins, and the venue is used today for an annual concert in July. Anjar is less interesting, and Ksara is a fast trip to a 150 year old winery. Our representative at the winery was a charming young lady who loves her work and loves good wines. She made the trip to Ksara enjoyable. Lunch was late :2:30. I would suggest that the tour operator adjust the schedule a bit and arrange lunch closer to 1 pm. The restaurant had strong incense burning, which some people might like but it spoiled my appetite.

What a wonderful day spent in Lebanon through this tour! Our tour guide Natasha was excellent! I learned so much about Anjar, Baalbeck and Ksara. Nakhal the tour company was very organized and efficient. In fact, I signed up the next day to a tour to Byblos.

Our tour leader was knowledgeable but not as friendly and welcoming as it was expected
Review by: VANESSA N, December 2017
This approximately nine hour tour was absolutely phenomenal. It was very educational and filled with lots of historical information. The tour guide was very thorough in explaining the pertinent facts about the sights. The tour company picked us up from our hotel and dropped us off at our hotel once the tour was completed. I have booked several tours through Viator when I travel and this one in Beirut was by far the best of the best. We not only saw Beirut, but others areas and towns in Lebanon. I learned more about Lebanon on this tour than I have learned in school and/or church. I highly recommend this tour, especially if you want to learn more about the country of Lebanon.

Everything was more than expected. Amazing places . Safety . Amazing tour escort. The only think is that you cannot take as a souvenir the entrance tickets from the sites!!!!!!!!!!!

Notre guide était fantastique! Étant archéologue de formation, elle était en mesure de nous transmettre des informations très pertinentes sur les sites, en plus de pouvoir répondre à nos nombreuses questions en français et en anglais. De plus, nous avons particulièrement apprécié le repas du midi mets libanais traditionnels qui était délicieux et de très bonne qualité. Cette expédition nous a donc permis dexplorer certains des sites les plus grandioses du Liban, de façon tout à fait sécuritaire et confortable, en plus de découvrir la cuisine locale et de pouvoir discuter avec une guide chevronnée.

Fantastic value and a safe,convenient way to visit two of the most impressive archaeological sites in the country. Ksara looks an interesting town - wish we had had a little more time there - but the lunch in Ksara was delicious and in a scenic location.

A really enjoyable day trip from Beirut where you will see very old Lebanon at Baalbek, and pass the refugee camps of very new Lebanon. Our guide Madeleine was very good - she did the whole tour in English and French. Baalbek is just stunning - if you like your classical ruins this must be one of the best. Great lunch too.
