Une expérience inoubliable

L’un des plus beaux tours que j’ai faits! On a visité des endroits culturels, religieux, touristiques et des réserves naturelles, guidés par des personnes autochtones. L’équipe est très professionnelle et l’ambiance est très amicale et authentique. Merci pour cette belle journée que je recommande vivement à tous ceux qui désirent avoir une expérience authentique et différente avec View Lebanon!

Que dire quand tout est parfait ?

Pour ceux qui recherchent la chaleur humaine, la connaissance fine des villageois sur leur patrimoine, leur émotion à partager un moment d’authenticité avec vous. Loin du business des tours operators que l’on peut trouver à Beyrouth, View Lebanon se démarque par son projet à la fois écologique, culturel et humain. L’expérience que nous a fait vivre Denise autoure de Bcharré en est un bel exemple. Je ne connaissais pas Gibran et après qu’elle m’en ait parlé, je n’ai eu de cesse de terminer le livre que j’avais acheté au musée qui porte son nom. Le moment de partage à l’auberge qu’elle tien avec sa maman fut un des meilleurs souvenirs gastronomiques de mon séjour de 2 mois au Liban. Je pourrais continuer ainsi à vanter ce que j’ai vécu avec View Lebanon, mais surtout ne me croyez pas sur parole, tentez l’expérience !!
