Sacred Cedars & Qadisha Valley: Private Lebanon Journey

I had a great trip to Bcharri, Wadi Qadisha, and the Cedars of God with my guide Mike. He provided great insights into the history of the sites, showed me great local foods, answered all my questions, and gave great advice for other places to visit throughout the country. I especially enjoyed the Cedars of God, which is a must-see when in Lebanon.

Objective: to leave the coast and see the mountains and the communities there. Also, to visit Bcharre, the Arz Al Rab protected area and its Cedar trees. Outcome: my guide for the day, Mike, not only knew the route well, he explained the history of area and his further explanation of the cultural significance of the Cedar, as we walked among ancient and majestic trees. We then had a delicious snack as well as a honey-tasting, from the hives, among the trees; all this at 2000+ metres- unforgettable!

The sceneries of the Qashadi valley were spectacular. Some of the cedar trees were more than 3000 years old which were tall and huge. It’s easy to walk for all Ages. I also had a very nice lunch at a famous place for shawarma. The guide Nehme is so helpful and friendly. He gives me good explanation of the places. I had a very nice day for this tour. Lebanon tours is the best tour agency. P.S. It’s ok to only wear shorts and a tee shirt for the excursion.

Mike was very knowledgeable and took the time to explain what we were seeing. The Cedars o God were amazing. I saw lots of beautiful views. The monastery and museums were really interesting. I had a good day.

The tour was excellent! The sites were very good, mr hussane was an excellent tour guide with a lot of knowledge. Would recommend to everyone

The tour was very well organised and our guide Hassane was very knowledgable. The experience was outstanding and we enjoyed it very much. Highly recommended.

This was the second tour with Lebanon Tours and Travels in 2 days. Luckily, we got Albert again as our tour guide. The tour itself was fantastic with beautiful scenery and landscapes all around. It was hard to choose a favorite because all the places visited stood out for different reasons. As said in my previous review, Albert was informative and knowledgeable. He is very attentive and easy to be around. He is highly recommended.

A top notch tour from our guide Albert who was immensely knowledgeable about all of the places we visited. The lunch we had was one of the best meals of my life! Cannot recommend this tour enough.

Albert, our guide and driver was very courteous and knowledgeable. He was on time, drove well, and had a good sense of humour. He also showed care and attention especially when the food was late. I wish we had more time to explore and linger because there was so much to see and witness, but given the busy schedule, I would still highly recommend this adventure with Albert and Lebanon tours.

The ceders is a trip with Albert is a MUST when visiting Lebanon!! Seeing the monasteries carved into the side of the mountains on the way up was great. The ceders were beautiful 😍 snow was still on the ground. Albert gave us so much history about the ceders. The whole day was filled with fun, beautiful sights and great conversation!!
