Free walking tours in Beirut

I discovered the Free Walk concept last year in Beirut with Mira. This was my second walk with her. Mira is truly very professional, passionate about her work, and deeply in love with her city and its culture. She is knowledgeable about history, culture, politics, economics; really every topic you can think of. While talking and listening to her, I didn’t even notice how time flew by! Every time I come to Beirut, I choose this walk, and I highly recommend it to everyone who visits this wonderful city.

Super wycieczka i super przewodnik. Finalnie zajęło nam wszystko 6 godzin. Zaher pokazał nam o wiele więcej niż się spodziewaliśmy. Na początku zapytał nas co nas interesuje i wycieczka była dostosowana do nas. Dużo opowiadał o historii, konfliktach i życiu codziennym, co bardzo doceniamy. Dzięki Zaherowi poczuliśmy się częścią Bejrutu. Bardzo polecamy!

We had an incredible experience exploring Beirut with Zaher as our tour guide. From the very beginning, he was warm, professional, and clearly passionate about his city. His deep knowledge of Beirut’s history, culture, and architecture truly brought every location to life. What made the tour exceptional was Zaher’s ability to connect the past and present in such an engaging way. As we walked through Beirut, he shared fascinating stories and insights. Zaher was also incredibly attentive and flexible, making sure the tour matched our interests and pace. He answered all our questions thoughtfully. If you’re visiting Beirut and want a meaningful, informative, and enjoyable experience, we highly recommend Zaher. He truly made our time in the city unforgettable!

Our guide, Mira, was absolutely amazing, incredibly well prepared, knowledgeable, and genuinely sympathetic. She brought the history of Beirut to life with fascinating stories and clear explanations about the city’s monuments and cultural landmarks. I learned so much about Beirut’s past and present, and the walk was engaging from beginning to end. You can really feel her passion for the city. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience! I’ll definitely be coming back soon and booking this tour again, highly recommended to anyone visiting Beirut! 🌟

Zaher is a really good guide that ajusts the tour to your wishes and interests. Definitely go with him if you want to see (and understand!) Beirut more.

Mira is informative, attentive, polite, and very friendly. She is open to discuss different topics that arise during the tour. She knows where the places of interest are, and is able to link things together in a very good way that I enjoyed. Highly recommended.

El tour con Zaher fue genial! Visitamos muchos sitios, me dio información muy interesante y super majo y atento en todo momento! Muy recomendable

Great walking tour of Beirut with Mira! We really enjoyed the tour and learned a lot about the history of Lebanon and Beirut, politics, culture, and the role religion plays in their society. Mira is incredibly knowledgeable and, even more important, she clearly loves her job, her country, and meeting new people. We have already recommended her to friends who will be visiting Lebanon in the coming months.

The tour was engaging and genuinely eye-opening, especially in the way Lebanon’s civil war and its aftermath were explained. Mira presented complex and sensitive topics clearly and objectively, making them easy to understand without oversimplifying. What stood out most was how open and responsive Mira was to questions. She took the time to address topics I was personally interested in and connected historical events with what we see in Beirut today. Although the tour lasted around three hours, it went by incredibly fast. Overall, it felt less like a typical walking tour and more like an insightful conversation about Beirut’s past and present. After the tour, I am thinking to expand my stay in beirut as I discovered more things from the tour. Highly recommended for travelers who want real understanding, not just sightseeing.

Mira was great! She took us around the city and explained different parts of it and gave us insight on interesting topics.

Mira is an excellent city storyteller; she guided us through Beirut’s past and present. Thank you.

To do this tour with Mira was superlative. She knows everything about many lebanese topics and she was opened to answer whatever you want to ask. Thank you Mira for let me learn more about Lebanon and its several problems, virtues and realities!

This tour is a gift for every traveler that is lucky enough to be a part of it. I learned so much about the history and culture of Lebanon through the eyes of a Lebanese. I help me a lot to undersatand everything I saw and heard after during my trip. Mira was also so opened to learn more about the countries and culture of everybody that took part in the tour. I had a great time! Thank you Mira 💜

Very good tour, highly recommended - thank you :)
