Beirut & Mount Lebanon done well. The itinerary had room to breathe. Dorms were tidy and the common areas were where the group actually gelled. Guides answered every question, including the daft ones. No hesitation recommending them.
Good mix of the obvious things and a few places we'd never have found.
Thank you. We've taken the point about the transfer and are reviewing it.
Everything was arranged properly — transfers, entries, all of it. Hostel nights are basic but clean, and that's what the price says. Plenty to eat and they were happy to work around a gluten allergy. Would book with them again.
Well paced over 5 days with enough free time to not feel herded. Hostel nights are basic but clean, and that's what the price says. Meals were good throughout and the vegetarian options weren't an afterthought. Would send friends their way.

It depends where and when, and honestly so. Beirut, the coast, the Qadisha and Baalbek have received visitors continuously, but Lebanon has periodic instability and the southern border region carries firm advisories. Both operators monitor and will cancel; check your government's advice before booking.
