Outstanding experience in Syria with Rami
Before starting my trip in Syria I looked for a tour guide carefully because of the location special condition I wanted to make sure my tour guide was 10000% professional, luckily I found Rami and this was one of my best decisions! I cannot recommend him highly enough! Rami was not only professional but also incredibly warm and welcoming, making the journey feel both educational and personal.If you’re looking for a guide who is reliable, knowledgeable, and genuinely dedicated to making your trip unforgettable, Rami is the perfect choice. Thans for the amazing experiences 👍

Rami and his team are excellent, and Syria is a MUST visit!
Travelled with Rami and his team back in the summer, and he is a great guide! All the places we went around Syria - from Damascus, Aleppo and all the way to Bosra were planned well.The people of Syria are lovely people and are basically in recovery mode. It is very safe and I would encourage you to book with Rami - he's actually very well known! He was most recentlyon Mark Wiens (food vlogger on Youtube) videos of Syria amongst others :)

Travelling across Syria and running Damascus Marathon! 🏃🏼‍♀️
I was thinking a lot to visit Syria but of course at first it wasn’t really possible for long time due to the obvious reasons. However, I finally made my mind and decided to participate in the international Damascus marathon which was organised by Wojciech Machnik, worldwide marathoner, Race Director of this marathon and a person who made it possible. Apart from running such an extraordinary race, we also had a possibility to visit couple of cities and historic landmarks a like of course, Damascus (Umayyad Mosque), Aleppo, Homs, Palmyra (the ruins of the ancient city of Palmyra were designated a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1980), Maaloula. Our guides - Zena, Rami & Bashar - already from the start of our journey (once we crossed the border between Lebanon- Syria) made sure that our visas are correct and we don’t encounter any obstacles. They made sure we are all safe and sound. What I liked the most it was their knowledge and expertise. It was one of those trips when I really learned a lot. And all thanks to our guides who served us huge amount of knowledge, trivias and also funny facts and stories. It wasn’t only about scrolling the cities and naming the objects in front of us. It was a lot about getting to know and understand the history, culture, architecture, political situation, religion, communities, but also people. We had a possibility to try traditional Syrian cuisine, which believe it or not, but is extremely filling and tasty. Syrian citizens, each time we were walking down the streets, were all very curious but also excited and happy we came to visit their country, despite all what was happening. It was extremely extraordinary trip for me and will be remembered for very long time. Our guides were very patient with us as we asked dozens of questions! But also, made us feel welcome in their country. It was one of those trips I will remember for long for sure. Huge thanks to Rami & Bashar & Zena. Your communication skills, hospitality, knowledge and ability to share it all with your audience in such a natural way is something very rare to see nowadays.

The best people to show you around an amazing country.
Syria is an amazing country, and I don't believe I could have found warmer or more knowledgeable people to introduce me to it than Mary and Rami.As a child I found an old book with some pictures of the Krak des Chevaliers and became fascinated with the place. As I got older it never seemed to be the right time to visit. Fifty years down the line, a YouTube video finally made me realise that now was the time I needed to go.I opted for the Syria Ancient Wonders 7 day tour. From my first contact via their website to getting home, Syrian Guides helped with any queries very efficiently.Whether we were in Damascus, Aleppo, Homs, Hama, or anywhere else, Mary and Rami were very well informed and passionate about their work. They will discuss a site with you, rather than just having a script. They are also very, very good company, chatting about everything from ancient history to pop culture. It felt more like I was being shown round by friends or family. If something can be done, these guys will do it.As an aside, if Mary and Rami do not agree on something, Mary is always right. Sorry Rami.My biggest regret was not booking a longer tour. But, I suppose that just gives me an excuse to go back. Rest assured when I do return with my wife, I will certainly be booking with Syrian Guides.

Mary and Rami
Mary and Rami guided me through the major cities of Syria. I was highly impressed with them for several reasons:1) They were very knowledgeable about the country, both in terms of its amazing history and current events.2) They were very positive and upbeat, and easy to travel with.3) They were highly adaptable. Our initial agreement reflected my booked flight out of Beirut, Lebanon. At no extra charge, they organized a border crossing that allowed me to catch a flight out of Amman, Jordan.As a final note, the accommodation was excellent.

a life changing experience
I joined a small Christmas tour with Syrian Guides in 2023 as a solo traveler and had an incredible experience. It was one of the most meaningful visits I've ever made to a country. I'm not a person who travels with tours but did so because it was required to visit Syria, and I didn't regret it. Rami and his colleagues organized an intimate-feeling, nuanced and fascinating tour for our small group. It included Christmas festivities in Damascus (as well as a visit to the Great Mosque), a visit to monasteries in Maaloula, an incredible visit to the citadel of Aleppo (as well as the modern city), stops in Homs and Hama, and finally a visit to the ancient city of Palmyra. Rami was with us every step of the way and fostered an informative, flexible, patient, kind, and fun atmosphere for our small group. I made friendships during that week that have continued and will continue. I can't say enough about how secure and welcome we were made to feel, partly because of Syrian people and culture, but also because of the sensitivity and organization provided by Syrian Guides. I highly recommend this tour company.

August Tour
The overall experience I had with Syrian Guides was remarkable. There was a warm complexity originating from a knowledgeable and open-minded guide, who shared a healthy love and deeper understanding for the country. The tour was designed with an afterthought for comfort, flexibility and encompassed the more important facettes of a country - its history, politics, people, food, perspectives. Our days were spent reliving the histories and evolution across the land; our evenings filled with cross-cultural exchanges, laughters, food and a little sense of belonging. There was authenticity and honesty in our interactions - and in our arak-filled dinners. Ample times were given for self-exploration, rest and shopping.Accommodations were chosen with aesthetic and comfort in mind - journeys kept safe by experienced driver. Our safety were of highest priority, although we never once felt unsafe. Despite the brevity of our tour, our time with Syrian Guides was a wonderful experience.
