A MUST DO. The trip was beautiful and Robin was awesome, friendly, informative and very helpful. Definitely cannot wait for the next trip with him for sure.

Don’t miss this trip

Natasha_M, Apr 2025

We learnt so much on this excursion. Our tour guide was knowledgeable and she guided us through all the ruins and attractions with history imbedded in her dialogue. Amazing to see the best preserved ancient temple.

unorganised

Harry_J, Jan 2025

not sure what went wrong with this tour as i had used the same agency the day before and everything was fine. my guide seemed to be in a rush and that’s probably why we never visited anjar. And i am not sure if the guide knew what his job was. at the start of the day he asked me “where are we going today?” i thought he was joking, but he was, in hindsight, not joking.

Response from Host, Jan 2025

Thank you for your review, by checking your tour, and investigating the matter, based on the tracker in our vehicles, you went to Anjar. It was the 1st place you visited, the headed to baalbek and then stopped at a restaurant and ended the day at Ksara, you also paid for the ticket at anjar yourself, so please check and you will see the ticket with you. There was no guide included in this option that you booked, if you check what is included, it doesn't say there was a guide included. Not sure why you left a review like this, while everything went exactly as was stated.

Totally Recommended

The tour was organized well. We could visit many sites in one day. We really enjoyed talking to our guide and he knew many interesting things about the sites. He was also very flexible and helped us with visiting Syrian refugee camp to donate some good. We really enjoyed our day! Thank you!!!

Typical tourist tour

Jan_S, Jun 2023

Driver could barely speak English. In Baalbek a friend of the driver forced to buy souvenirs. Actually wanted to choose the restaurant but he drove to one where he obviously got commission.

Response from Host, Jun 2023

Nobody can force you to buy a souvenir. in every country you find people selling and trying to make you buy stuff, you can always say no! as for the restaurant, we stop at 1 restaurant on the way to ksara, there is no much options in baalbek, also you did not book private! you can't decide where to eat, everyone must stop at 1 place, if you wanted to decide how your day goes, you could have booked a private trip! in the includes it's written "English or Arabic Speaking Driver" you did not pay for private ride and did not ask for English driver.

Excellent chauffeur

Henriette_S, Jun 2023

Everything! Nice guide patient and willing to go the extra miles🙏 Ali is super driver and very careful. Felt safe. Thanks, Ali Until we meet again.

Clue in the title Guided tour- no guide

Sallyanne_R, May 2023

Baalbek is super, well worth the visit. Anjar ok. Additional fees for both sites beat to pay in local currency

Response from Host, May 2023

I don't understand your review to be honest! where in the title was it written guided tour? and where in the includes does it state that guide is included? if at all you did book with us, then please also check where in your ticket was written guide included. if your review is only to damage my business then this is very wrong of you. Have a nice life ahead of you.

Very nice experience! We had an amazing time with Wassin as he was a very calm and friendly driver. Also the visit itself was amazing and Wassin left us with enough time to visit whatever we wanted to see.

I and my wife very enjoyed this tour.

Everything was great. The driver was kind and willing to help and inform us about the trip. Baalbek and ksara were the highlights of our trip in Lebanon

Wonderful !

Farah_H, Jul 2021

Overall a wonderful trip and experience. The guide and driver were so skilled and knowledgeable, the scenery and history was incredible. Highly recommended trip

Great experience! High recommendations!

BULAT_B, Nov 2020

All were fine. Car was comfy and Robin is extra professional driver and knowing guide. As I have tour in period of semi-suspense of tourism I was alone and can change destinations and make additions for the tour on my needs. And I can order another tours not listed in Viator. I highly recommend Zingyride operator for all who want tours in Lebanon.

Excellent Trip to Baalbek

DAVID_S, Mar 2020

Great tour - Great Price! Really enjoyed - Great driver, we were the only two on the tour, were free to take as much time as we liked, all three destinations were amazing, and choice of lunch was not a tourist trap, very affordable and great food! Excellent day trip!!

Very very satisfied

startcevia, Feb 2020

It was a nice trip and the guide was really helpful. Many thanks to him. As result I was only one traveler so it was like a private tour. I spend a full of emotions day. Baalbek is a amazing.

ツアーではない！

HIROAKI_U, Aug 2023

エアコンがついてると書いてあったのにつけられておらず…こちらが言ったらつけてくれたが、言わなかったらエアコンなしの車内だった…前半はエアコンなしで過ごして地獄でした。ガイドとあったのに、ドライバーからの説明は全くなく、ツアーではなくてただのタクシードライバーだった…ほぼ話しかけられることもなくとても残念だった！

Super excursion !

Rose_G, Aug 2023

Ali notre guide a été super ! Très serviable et nous a accompagné avec prudence et anticipation dans cette journée. L’excursion vaut vraiment le coup !

Olga_F, Jan 2023

Baalbek es la joya de la corona, imprescindible la visita. En esta época, enero, no hay turismo, lo disfrutas plenamente. La entrada es de las más caras en Líbano 300 000, pero lo vale. Comimos un guía libanés 20$ para dos, pero no merecía la pena. Muchas bromas y poca información válida, además de muchas prisas. Baalbek es para saborearlo.
