My friend and I ended up going on 4 tours with Luka and each day was excellent. We managed to see most of the country and I absolutely recommend seeing Lebanon with him! He is incredibly knowledgeable and will tell you all kinds of stories, facts and history. He's reliable, communicative, professional, accommodating and also super fun to be around. He goes out of his way to make you feel welcome and I honestly cannot recommend him enough.

I am happy to have found this tour and I appreciate their flexibility, as they confirmed us the night before-- at 23:00! Our guide was informative and a good driver. My friend and I felt that we got in some good views and it was worth every penny. You must take this tour to really experience Lebanon! Although, I was not a big fan of lunch at their chosen restaurant. It's one of those overly priced tourist spots that try to guilt you into paying cash by saying the CC machine is down. I know all the tricks, I'm from the 3rd world baby! ;-)

I thoroughly enjoyed the cooking classes I had with Robin. They were a lockdown birthday present from my Husband. Fantastic gift idea! Robin was very kind, pleasant, and extremely flexible! I am pregnant and cannot stay on my feet for very long. Robin was kind enough to split the cooking class in two separate lessons. The food was excellent and my husband and I had a lot of fun learning about Lebanon and the country's culinary delights! I highly recommend this experience!
