Great historic site!
The historic site of Baalbeck is one of the greatest one in size and preservation! This is a must go tour when coming to Lebanon! The tour guide and bus driver were excellent! The sight seeing and food were great! There was a lot of smoking inside the restaurant but that is the way here. Anjar was a nice surprise! Great local tour guide there! Excellent over all!
Response from the operator: Glad you enjoyed the day tour and thank you for the review much appreciated. Hope to see you again!

Must do
Baalbek left us in awe, scale, history, architecture and engineering is beyond description. It is a must see. And for a bus tour lunch in Zahle, we were caught by surprise by the outstanding selection of authentic Lebanese cuisine . The Ksara winery tour was a splendid way to finish a great day.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your review ! Glad you enjoyed the tour and hope to see you again!

A classical climax to a wonderful trip
This trip took us to the absolutely magical Baalbek Roman temple site, to the best Lebanese meal we had in our whole trip (at Casino Nmeir) and topped it off with a tasting trip to one of the country's finest wineries. As if this was not enough the ever wonderful City Sightseeing team picked up our luggage from the hotel along with us and time the trip so they could drop us off at the airport in time for our late afternoon flight. Our driver Naseem was punctual, well informed and super courteous. Our guide at Baalbek was amazing (and handy with my phones panorama setting). I picked up several Ksara wines at the airport after being impressed at the tasting (and I am not a winę drinker usually). Of course I also bought some (Ks)Arak to remind me of the fantastic time I and my family had in Lebanon - made so much fuller thanks to Viviane and the City Sightseeing team! THANK YOU ;-)
Response from the operator: Glad you enjoyed the trip and thank you for the lovely review! Hope to see you again.

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Lebanon tour Baalbek Temples & Ksara Caves Winery, pick-up+Guide: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Beirut.
How much does Lebanon tour Baalbek Temples & Ksara Caves Winery, pick-up+Guide cost?
+
Prices start at $140 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 Lebanon tour Baalbek Temples & Ksara Caves Winery, pick-up+Guide 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 Lebanon tour Baalbek Temples & Ksara Caves Winery, pick-up+Guide worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 76 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 35 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Beirut, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Lebanon tour Baalbek Temples & Ksara Caves Winery, pick-up+Guide?
+
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 Lebanon tour Baalbek Temples & Ksara Caves Winery, pick-up+Guide 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 Lebanon tour Baalbek Temples & Ksara Caves Winery, pick-up+Guide?
+
Around 12 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 Lebanon tour Baalbek Temples & Ksara Caves Winery, pick-up+Guide start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Beirut within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Beirut?
+
On Outty we rank every Beirut experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Guided Small-Group Tour to Baalbek, Anjar and Ksara with Lunch, Guided Small-Group Tour to Jeita, Harissa, Byblos with Lunch, Jeita Grotto, Harisa & Byblos: Small Group Tour with Hotel pickup. 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.
