Great tour value for money
I really enjoy my tour.. the your guy.. albert was very friendly and helpful. Vrry knowledgeable n he has made the tour very interesting n memorable
via Tripadvisor
Alberto was awesome! Leaned a lot about Lebanon.
Alberto came to pick me up on time. He is very knowledgeable about the country, and bits and pieces of Lebanese history, culture etc. Since it was just myself , there was so much flexibility on the tour itself. Too bad we couldn’t take pics of the caves which was magnificently spectacular! I decided to skip 1 or 2 in the tour as they weren’t my thing. I learned so much about Lebanon after this trip. Hopefully you get Alberto too on your next tour.

Solo Day Trip
Went on a solo day trip and it was honestly one of the best decisicions I’ve made. Mr. Hassaan was extremely friendly, very well-informed, and very hospitable. I had a great time and would highly highly recommend this trip.

Excellent Tour
We had a wonderful experience with our guided tour, and a very special thanks to our guide, Albert, who truly made the day memorable. It was immediately clear that Albert is genuinely passionate about his job. He was extremely professional, both in terms of his knowledge and his excellent level of English, and he was able to explain everything in a very engaging and understandable way. What we appreciated most, however, was how caring and attentive he was throughout the entire experience. He was not simply following a fixed itinerary or ticking off the planned stops; instead, he paid attention to our interests and expectations and tailored the experience to make sure we got the most out of our day. A great example was our visit to the Crusaders’ temple. Albert went out of his way to arrange a guided tour on the spot, specifically because he felt it would better meet our expectations and give us a deeper experience. This kind of initiative and attention to detail really stood out to us. The car was also very clean and comfortable, with excellent air conditioning, which made the journey very pleasant. We also had a delicious meal at the restaurant, with really tasty food and a beautiful view. Overall, we couldn’t have asked for a better guide or experience. Albert’s knowledge, professionalism, passion, and genuine care for his customers made a real difference.

Guided Small-Group Tour to Jeita, Harissa, Byblos with Lunch: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Beirut.
How much does Guided Small-Group Tour to Jeita, Harissa, Byblos with Lunch cost?
+
Prices start at $45 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Beirut usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Guided Small-Group Tour to Jeita, Harissa, Byblos with Lunch take?
+
Plan for about 8 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Beirut is not rushed.
Is Guided Small-Group Tour to Jeita, Harissa, Byblos with Lunch worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 94 out of 100, which we label "90+ Club". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 420 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most highly reviewed in Beirut, and how flexible the cancellation terms are. Scoring 90 or above puts it in the Outty 90+ Club, the top tier of everything we rank.
Can I cancel or reschedule Guided Small-Group Tour to Jeita, Harissa, Byblos with Lunch?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Guided Small-Group Tour to Jeita, Harissa, Byblos with Lunch suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Guided Small-Group Tour to Jeita, Harissa, Byblos with Lunch?
+
Around 147 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Beirut can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Beirut and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Guided Small-Group Tour to Jeita, Harissa, Byblos with Lunch start and how do I get there?
+

The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Beirut?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Beirut?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
