A great day out with Harake!
We had a wonderful time with Harake on our tour of the Jeita Grotto, Byblos, Harrissa and Batroun. He was very knowledgeable and kind. Everything was really interesting to see and we had lots of fun thank-you.

Great experience
Mr. Harake was the guide and driver of the day, and it was terrific; all the communication, services, and guides were perfect. The downside is that you cannot take pics at Jeita.

Just get a taxi yourself….
We were not contacted re pick up. Original time was 8.30. At 8.50 the hotel contacted them man’s they said couldn’t contact us. Every other company did plus the pick up was from our hotel so they could have got a message to us via them. Plus we had only paid 48 hours earlier so obvious we were going. Eventually turned up at 9.50 clapped out old car with a man who spoke very little English- it was meant to be a guided tour. We could have just got a taxi at substantially less cost.
Response from the operator: Hello Miss Sally, We really apologize about what happened which was a popup block at the highway of Khaldi area by some protest people's so the minibus was stuck in the middle of the road and the operator was in this minibus too trying to talk with the poeple to let them pass but with no response, thats why the operator delay in calling you and we were trying to shift all the customer in this day to a private cars, sorry again for this issue, trust that we learned too much from this popup operation issue and we manage to have an internal process for such cases and sure we will serve you in a better way next time. Thank you so much for your kind positive understanding! Best wishes

Why this scores 81
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
New Small-Group Tour Semi-Private to Jeita,Harissa&Byblos: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Beirut.
How much does New Small-Group Tour Semi-Private to Jeita,Harissa&Byblos cost?
+
Prices start at $40 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 New Small-Group Tour Semi-Private to Jeita,Harissa&Byblos 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 New Small-Group Tour Semi-Private to Jeita,Harissa&Byblos worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 81 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 34 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 New Small-Group Tour Semi-Private to Jeita,Harissa&Byblos?
+
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 New Small-Group Tour Semi-Private to Jeita,Harissa&Byblos 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 New Small-Group Tour Semi-Private to Jeita,Harissa&Byblos?
+
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 New Small-Group Tour Semi-Private to Jeita,Harissa&Byblos 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,Harissa&Byblos Full-Day PRIVATE-CAR Trip from Beirut. 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.
