جولة عنجر وبعلبك - I spent one of the most beautiful days of my trip to Lebanon with Lebanon Tours and Travels, and the driver Fadi truly brought good fortune to the experience. From the very first moment, I felt at ease with his warm and respectful attitude — a genuinely kind and authentic Lebanese man who made the journey feel like I was traveling with a close friend. Throughout the drive from Beirut to Anjar and Baalbek, not a single moment passed without Fadi sharing an insightful story or background about the villages and landmarks along the way. In Anjar Castle especially, he stopped and explained its Umayyad history in a simple, engaging way that made me feel like I was living the experience, not just visiting a site. The car — a Toyota Corolla — was very clean, extremely comfortable, and had excellent air conditioning, which made a huge difference on a long day. Fadi was punctual and professional, sticking to the schedule but with a relaxed, thoughtful approach that made the journey feel easy and enjoyable. The itinerary included Baalbek, Anjar, and the Stone of the Pregnant Woman, and we ended the day with delicious Ba’albek-style sfiha and refreshing laban. It truly felt like more than just a tour — it was a chance to experience a deeper, more soulful side of Lebanon. I honestly have no complaints. If you're planning a trip within Lebanon, I wholeheartedly recommend Fadi. His service is outstanding, his manners are exceptional, and he makes you fall in love with the country even more. قضيت يومًا من أجمل أيام رحلتي في لبنان مع شركة Lebanon Tours and Travels، وكان السائق فادي فعلاً وجهه خير على الرحلة. من أول لحظة شعرت بالراحة في تعامله – إنسان خلوق، لبناني أصيل، ويشرح لك الطريق كأنك مع صديق من أهل الديرة. طوال الطريق من بيروت إلى عنجر وبعلبك، لم تمر لحظة دون أن يشاركني قصة أو معلومة عن قرية أو معلم. وخصوصًا في قلعة عنجر، توقف وشرح لي تاريخها بأسلوب بسيط وممتع، حتى شعرت أنني أعيش المكان لا أزوره فقط. السيارة كانت تويوتا كورولا، نظيفة جدًا، مريحة، والتكييف ممتاز – مثالية ليوم طويل. وفادي كان دقيقًا في الوقت، وملتزم بالبرنامج بروح خفيفة من دون استعجال. شمل البرنامج زيارة بعلبك، عنجر، حجر الحبلى، واختتمنا الجولة بصفيحة بعلبكية ولبن لذيذ جدًا. شعرت بأن هذه الرحلة لم تكن مجرد سياحة، بل فرصة لاكتشاف جانب دافئ وعميق من لبنان. لا ملاحظات لدي، وأنصح بصدق بهذه الخدمة، خصوصًا مع فادي – شخص محترم، خدمته راقية، وتعامل يخلّيك تحب البلد أكثر.

A pleasant journey. - The Baalbek ruins are impressive, with huge stone columns and ancient temples that make it seem like a trip back to Roman times. The presentations by park staff were clear and informative. Lunch was delicious and authentic Lebanese, and Mr. Hassan, the guide, was also interesting and funny, and the whole trip was full and relaxing. The Anjar ruins are slightly less landscaped and Ksara can taste wine.

A must do tour in Lebanon! - This was a must do tour! It was incredibly informative, fun, and hit some truly amazing sights. The guide brought every place we visited to life and was very kind and knowledgeable. I suggest bringing cash (USD is fine) to buy souvenirs and miscellaneous items.
