Will L2025-05-27Verified Excellent guides in Damascus Fantastic tour through the old city of Damascus, really brought it to life! Learnt so much and very enjoyable. I’m from the UK but even my girlfriend who was brought up in Damascus learnt a lot. Nicole S2025-05-17Verified Another amazing journey around Syria with Syrian Guides I visited Syria in April 2024 with Rami and Mary of Syria Guides and after an amazing first visit. I returned with a group to travel around Syria in 2025. We had a picture perfect visit down to the last detail. We all can't wait to return again. Sequenz H2025-05-15Verified Back to Syria - now including Idlib This way my third trip to Syria since 2019 and my second trip with Rami, back in 2023 I joined a tour, which was obligatory back then. This time I travelled by myself and visited Aleppo, Homs, Manoula and Idlib, plus the "Forgotten Cities" in the Idlib area and the closed Mosaik Museum (luckily we found a person with a key) in the now deserted city of Ma'rat al Nou'man. Rami organised the transport and guide for the Idlib area, a lovely lady, called Maral. I am still in contact with her trough whatapps. I was very curios to visit Idlib the "Kalifat light" of now President Dschoulani. I did not see much difference to Aleppo where some women are heavily veiled. Only when talking to locals you got a feel for how deep the idea of a secular states is despised, Damascus and Aleppo I explored on my own, since I know the cities already. Rami is absolutely reliable and answers quickly which I appreciate, since my decisions are also made quickly and spontaneously.I know I will be back soon! Mihael Š2025-05-07Verified Could not have done it better Visited Syria with Syrian Guides in march of 2025 with a friend. They helped me and my friend with everything from arranging transport, different questions we had about the country, trip logistics and also arranged a trip to the village of Maaloula. Couldn’t have imagined my trip without their help and I look forward to traveling with them when I return to Syria. The biggest thanks goes to Gulizar Mammo, the tour guide who took me and my friend to Maaloula and explained everything about the country, its culture, food and people. Glad to meet all the lovely folks at Syria Guides, especially Gulizar. Ricky T2025-05-06Verified Professional guide with kindness We went on a 2 day private tailor-made tour with our guide Shamel from Syrian Guides. The tour went very smoothly with a lot of time to explore each site and understand the history and culture of Syria. Our guide Shamel is professional and kind. He is very knowledgeable about Syria and the Middle East. One of the best time I had on the tour was to sit down, have tea, and enjoy a chat with our guide. Our driver also delivered a safe journey throughout. Our fixer Rami can answer any questions quickly, arrange the bookings and make recommendations based on your needs. Zhongming Z2025-05-06Verified One of the most impactful trips of my life This is one of the most impactful trips of my life! Amazing Syria, with beautiful sights, and incredibly nice people. It takes me days to sort out photos and videos taken during the 4 days, but weeks to really understand my emotions.With a bit of fear due to many uncertainties before going, Syrian Tour (Guides) did a wonderful job giving me all relevant information so I don’t get any surprise. Then a super professional dedicated team including various drivers (I travelled from Beirut by road to cross the border), and particularly my lovely guide Athar made me feel all the way in good hands with 100% trust and comfort. They were all knowledgeable and super warm hearted!As on a private tour, I had the privilege to spend more time learning about each sight’s history, cities’ culture, meeting local people and talking to them. Whether it was about soaking in the old city of Damascus’ charm and history, or witnessing the magnificent Krac des Chevaliers, or uncovering one of the best preserved ancient roman theatres in Busra as well as the whole ancient civilisation from multiple eras, there was no one single moment where I was not surprised by how beautiful and rich Syria is and has to offer to the world.Syrian people are among the sweetest in the world. Due to the war, they almost lost everything and live in very difficult situations. However, where ever I went, no one has asked material help, but only came to me with big smiles. They wanted to take pictures together and the only thing they’ve asked was for me to show to the world how beautiful Syria is and how sweet Syrian people are. I’ll never forget each of the people I met and all your words from heart with love.I only wish the war can stop soon, so the lovely Syrian people could live in peace and show to the world what the real Syria is about. Although I wish more people to visit Syria, but given the war still going on, if you choose to visit now, you do have the privilege of having very few tourists, thus very calm environment on the sites, and you can spend more time and your guide has more time to give you more details.All in all, during my visit, everything was safe (Syrian Tour knows where to go and where not to), although caution still needs to be taken due to uncertainties. Whether it is now or later (whenever you should feel comfortable with the situation), no one should miss amazing Syria from their to go list, and I am sure Syrian Tour (Guides) would always be a great partner for you. treiffus2025-05-05Verified Choose Your Own Adventure in Syria In February I had a trip of around 9 days with Syrian Guides around the country. Having been to Syria a few times already in the past, I had specific objectives for this trip-- I wanted to see the coastal and border areas, I wanted to learn about minority groups, and I had some specific local industries and cuisine-oriented topics I wanted to explore in depth. I designed my own plan; Syrian Guides tidied it up to make it more practical, added some great suggestions of their own, and then made it happen.On the trip itself I was accompanied by Rami, Mary, and Ahmed the driver, and it felt like traveling with friends; they shared insights, stories, and warmth at every step of the way. The real beauty of their approach to tourism is to give space to spontaneous moments; in every place we went, we ended up meeting local people-- always totally by chance-- who then shared their stories and invited us for coffee and meals. These encounters enriched an already fascinating itinerary in ways that can't be planned, and normally you only get with independent travel. Do not hesitate to book with Syrian Guides or to visit Syria at this exciting time. Give them an idea of what you are looking for in the experience, not just a list of places to visit-- go with an open mind and flexibility to deal with the quickly-evolving ground situation-- and you will be guaranteed an unforgettable and unique time in this beautiful country. Hannah M2025-05-05Verified Solo one day tour I had a one day tour to Saydnaya and Maloula with Toulin from Syrian Guides. Rami arranged the tour and his communication was great and friendly. The tour itself was very well organised, the places we visited were safe but it's much better to go with Syrian Guides rather than trying to visit alone. I had a guide and a driver. Toulin was very knowledgeable about the history and current situation, she was friendly and happy to answer my questions in detail. I would highly recommend Toulin and Syrian guides. Thank you for a wonderful experience. Krystian F2025-05-04Verified Life experience in Syria I want to thank for an incredible life experience during my trip to Syria. Not for a single minute did I regret choosing an individual trip. It allowed me to connect more closely with Syrian culture, history, and society.Ola was an excellent, caring, and patient guide, while Ahmed is a truly unique and cheerful person (and driver). Together, they made a great team, and if I had the chance, I would repeat the whole trip without hesitation.Absolutely 100/10. V P2025-05-04Verified Amazing experience in an amazing country I went to Syria with Syrian guy dear in April 2025. It was absolutely amazing. Our guides were extremely knowledgeable while being fun and spontaneous. They always looked for opportunities to take the tour of the beaten path. We meet sb. while walking through the city and next thing we sit in the mayor's home for tea. We were also the first group in 12 years to go to Idlib. I felt safe every step of the tour and to anyone who is thinking about going. Do it. The country is amazing, friendly and safe.
