Very good tour - I arrived in Beirut in the morning, and after collecting me at the airport and dropping my bag off at the hotel, Fadil took me on a half day tour of Beirut. We walked to some interesting places and Fadil shared some information for each of them as well as history and current situation in Lebanon. Fadil was very flexible in arranging the half day tour on the same day as my arrival to Beirut and this allowed me to squeeze in a city tour in my packed itinerary. Much appreciated and I do recommend using Fadil's services as he is also easy to talk to and discuss customised tours.
