PROBABLY THE BEST TOUR I HAVE EVER BEEN ON-DON'T MISS THIS!!! I visited Beirut for the first time in May and found out about this tour online. I was traveling by myself but I was so fascinated by the idea of a walking tour that tells the story of Beirut and I knew I had to go. I had a flight later that night but I had a feeling that I would not want to miss this experience and decided to go and then leave early-I'm so glad that I did what I could of the tour. This was one of the best tours I have ever been on, if not the best and I've traveled quite a bit. Rani is so informative, helpful, funny, sweet and has such pride in his country. His passion and storytelling are so captivating. He brings history to life. Walking down the streets with him, he will point out buildings that you might never notice and he can tell you why that is there, who put it there, how long ago it was put there, who wanted to tear it down, why they couldn't tear it down, and what will happen to it 50 years from now :) Then that building is not just a building, but maybe one of the most interesting buildings you have ever seen and you will never forget it:) He is the kind of person you can easily make friends with because he is so genuine and he wants to make sure that you enjoy your time. I returned to Beirut this month. Again, I had a flight that prevented me from completing the tour and there actually was not one scheduled for the day that I wanted to do it. His tour is so incredible, that I bought the 7 ticket minimum for only two people knowing that I could not even complete the tour. I am so fascinated by the history and enjoy his tour so much that I plan to take it everytime I go back to Beirut. I could not even imagine or want to go on a trip there without going on Rani's tour. I just wish there was a Rani in every city I visited :)

I was in Beruit in the fall of 1956 and it was very beautiful then.

A fantastic tour. We wish we had taken it earlier on our stay, helps a fascinating (but confusing) place start to make sense :-) Many thanks, Ronnie.

The most in depth historical tour I have ever been on. I wish more tours in different places I visit(ed) had tours like this. Ronnie was not only extremely knowledgeable about Beirut's history, but he makes the 4.5 hours go by so quickly and he does it in a fun and enjoyable way. He also truly cares about his guests (customers) as he makes sure we enjoy ourselves and helps us at the end if need to. A+++++

Unbelievable experience, very informative and fun. Ronnie is an amazing storyteller and talks about all the important parts of the city's past. Highly recommended whether this is your first visit to Beirut, or if you're a Lebanese and don't know your capital's secrets. Thanks again Ronnie.
