Tyre, Sidon and Maghdouche Day Trip from Beirut

My wife and I did this as an easy introduction to important historical cities on the south coast of Lebanon. Our guide Waleed was very knowledgeable and friendly, and gave a good commentary as we moved from sight to sight. My only minor complaint was that the bus got very hot on some legs of the trip. Other than that I would have given 5 stars for the trip.

The tour was well organised and the guide quite knowledgeable. Lunch was satisfying and in a great location. I'm only not much impressed by Sidon, but Tyre was worth it.

The only one of the tours I did in southern Lebanon that satisfied my curiosity. Saida and the cruzader Castle of the Sea is lovely, walking through the Souks is most than interesting. Each merchant showed kind even you will not buy his merchandise. The basilica divided between Orthodox and Catholic attracts my attention and is a reason to return. Already in Sour, the archaeological site of Tire impresses with its arch and the amount of sarcophagi of the necropolis. Already in the part that was the island that was conquered by Alexander the Great, impress me to imagine how before it was separated from mainland. The columns remind us how wonderful it was in the Roman era, with the Phoenicians should be equally impressive. A delicious lunch was offered, the Mezze was plentiful and good service. The Sanctuary of Our Lady of Mantara and its peace, a good ending to a day full of history and emotions.

Fantastic day! Great guide and drIver! Informative. Great food at restaurant. Comfortable coach and lovely fellow travellers!

This was a magnificent trip and thanks to Madeleine, our guide, I learned so much I was moved to go the the museum next day where I ran into....Madeleine! Really wonderful guide, fabulous trip. She speaks at least three languages and the tour was simply brilliant. Well thought out, smooth running, all around great experience. The driver Hassan also deserves pats on the back! He drive us through a short cut through a Palestinian camp and I have to say although fast, it was an enlightening experience. Five stars for this trip! Make sure you do it, and ask for Madeleine and Hassan!

Memories for a life time! I love Viator tours! I ALWAYS know I can depend on them. There were many tourists and it was a safe good trip. Several rest room breaks. Would do it again! Guide told us all the history non stop. A good tour!

A very professionally organised tour with a knowledgeable and friendly guide. The visits to the two sites in Tyre were outstanding and the souk visit and soap museum visit in Sidon were also very good. It was unfortunate that it rained heavily most of the day but the guide ensured we made the most of the visits. The lunch was also excellent

A very enjoyable and informative trip. We thoroughly enjoyed it even the lunch was very good with lots of tasty different dishes. Guide was very clever and looked after the group very well.

Make sure to not book anything with this tour company online. It's cheaper to do it with them directly, I was overcharged 10 per tour due to the fact I booked online and not in person or with them directly. This was a nice tour, Madelone was the tour guide. She was wonderful. The lunch included was huge and served by the sea and castle. Incredible. Really amazing experience. Loved seeing the old castles, ruins and Statues!

Great day-trip... Tyre's Roman cemetery, hippodrome and marble road amazing, view over Sidon from Maghdouche hill really good, and nice walk around Sidon's castle, souq and soap museum.
