Chris P2025-03-30 Syrian Begginings With the fall of Assad and the festivities of Ramadan, I found this tour company about 2 weeks before they were set to start their tour around Syria. Communication was fast, easy and flexible and before you knew it I was set to depart to Damascus. Our guides were Rami and Mary, who were phenomenal! From the start we had many fun iftars and many great food opportunities throughout the day everyone from any background could enjoy. For the Ramadan tour prepare for dance and music with the locals!I had very limited knowledge about Syrias history, and recent dark past and recent hope for a new beginning. This tour was so forgiving in the explanations from locals about the current situation, for example we visited the politcal prison Sadnaya to really put faces to something most see through a screen. But we also immeresed in the rich diversity of different peoples which Syria houses and homes. Whether we were in the 3rd millennium bc old walls of Aleppo, the waterwheels of Hama, or inside a impromptu special local druze home in Sweida eating their local Mansef, the tour was carefully planned with room for extra once in a lifetime opportunities by Rami and Mary.I really recommend this tour for anyone to get to know Syria as the way it is, rich and alive with the kindest people you'll ever meet. I guarantee you will feel safe and at home here. Thank you Syria Tours, and to Rami and Mary Geertruud S2025-03-30 Mooie dagen in Syrie Op de 1e dag van de Ramadan stapte ik in de bus vanuit Amman naar Damascus. Veel Syriërs in de bus hadden sinds lange tijd hun vaderland niet gezien dus waren erg blij en verheugd dat ze eindelijk familie en vrienden weer in de armen gingen sluiten.In Damascus aangekomen stond mijn gids Sarah en chauffeur Ahmed mij op te wachten. Vanaf het eerste moment voelde ik mij welkom. Sarah is prettig in contact en kundig. De dagen in Damascus/Homs/Maaloula en KdC hebben mij een indruk van Syrië gegeven die ik niet had willen missen. Graag kom ik nog een keer terug in dit fantastische land!Ook wil ik de organisatie Syrian Guides van harte danken. Het contact met Rami en Mary verliep erg soepel en voelde voor mij erg professioneel, warm en betrokken. Bernard G2025-03-30 Well planned holistic tour of Syria I contacted Syrian Guides having watched them organize a tour for Mr Bald - a travel youtuber. They were very responsive and organized my tour on a short notice - first contact was done one week prior to my arrival and they were able to customize the itinerary based on my requests (Krak de Chevaliers, Aleppo, Palmyra etc). Over 6D/5N I managed to see everything I wanted to see, including some unusual requests - Sednaya Prison, abandoned russian military outpost in Palmyra was a huge bonus. This was not an easy time in Syria given the situation in Latakia in early March but the rest of the country was fine. The guide I got was extremely knowledgable (and somewhat nostalgic about good old times for tourism). The driver was careful and focused on driving, often long hours, despite the Ramadan time.If you are looking for smooth tour of Syria without surprises, I would highly recommend contacting Rami and Mary. Be upfront with what your expectations are and they can help you build best itinerary and arrange pickup from Lebanon, if needed. The hotels where we stayed were of good or excellent quality (all things considered) and it was also possible to arrange for money changing at a good rate (mobile internet was a bit of a challenge given lack of eSIMs in the country).Thank you Rami and Mary for helping me visit Syria and all the best Sri G2025-03-30 A Guide to the heart and soul of Syria Syrian Guides have been amazing in showing me the richness of the land, taking me on a journey through the ages, unravelling centuries of history, showcasing the imprints of various civilisations.A one week tour over Ramadan covered not just the length and breadth of this land, it touched the heart and soul of its people. The tour was an amazing experience blending history, culture, geography, interactions with various communities, and open debate on recent state.They haven't shied away from visiting the devastation of the war. They embraced it and have also taken advantage of unplanned interactions to enhance their own understanding. They have shown me Syria that I've not imagined and would never have been able to discover on my own.Rami's unbridled enthusiasm and Mary's organisation made this a very enjoyable, eye-opening tour.Come to visit the beauty of this land, be astounded by the spirit and hospitality of the people, embrace the richness of the culture and history and be prepared to leave a part of you behind. MountainTopSeaFloor2025-03-27 The best tour company in the world, and also Syria. Wow, simply wow. If you’re planning to visit Syria, without a doubt go with Syrian Guides. Rami and Mary are not only the best guides I’ve ever had anywhere in this world, but showed us places and led us to experiences I never would have imagined, let alone find myself. Hands down the best trip I’ve ever taken thanks to these incredible people. One million out of ten. Thanks again! I will absolutely be back! Gilberto G2025-03-15 Incredible Experience in Damascus Mary was very friendly and attentive, she helped me a lot with my trip to Damascus, getting me help with transportation from Beirut to Damascus and back. I also met Bashar, who gave me a tour throughout the city, with too much information from the city, If you plan to travel Syria, go with Syrian Guides. Mehdi B2025-03-07 A Journey Through Syria – Unforgettable Experience I had the incredible opportunity to visit Syria this February for a week, and I cannot express how grateful I am to the Syrian Guides team for making this trip truly unforgettable. From the extreme north to the extreme south, they allowed me to explore the marvellous beauty, rich history, and warm hospitality of this remarkable country.A special thank you to Rami, Mary, and Saied Ahmed for their exceptional guidance, attention, and kindness throughout the journey.

Their passion for their country and dedication to sharing its wonders made the experience even more special.I cannot thank the Syrian Guides team enough for making this trip one of the most enriching and heartwarming experiences I’ve ever had.

Geer S2025-03-06 Tour Syria My guide Sarah gave me a warm welcome and accompanied me very well during my trip in Syria (together with driver Ahmed). Mary and Rami are very 'warm', professional and committed. It was a fantastic experience to feel this country. I will definitely be back. Zoltan2025-03-02 Lovely tour guide We spend an amazing day with our tour guide Shamel in Damascus and we had a great time. If you are thinking about booking, do it. I highly recommend the Syrian Guides. James B2025-02-28 Simply brilliant trip to Damascus I've just returned from a short trip to Damascus arranged through Syrian Guides. I really can’t recommend them highly enough. My itinerary included private transport from Beirut airport, overland to the border, help across the border - which was invaluable - and onward travel to Damascus. They also arranged two nights’ accommodation at Via Recta Hotel (which is lovely.) Additionally, a one-day tour of Damascus and return transport to Beirut.Firstly, the booking support from Mary was superb, every question I asked was no trouble, my itinerary was arranged with great ease over WhatsApp and costs were completely transparent and reasonable.My driver picked me up at Beirut on arrival and everything went well. The border was busy on the day I arrived - but for me, this was all part of the experience.On the first evening it was great to meet with Mary and Rami at the hotel and discover more about Syrian life.The next day my guide was Fedaa and we set about exploring Damascus. It was great to explore on foot as well and travel about in both taxis and local transport. We did everything from climbing the Mountain overlooking the city for some spectacular views, to visiting City museums, the mosque and Christian and Jewish neighbourhoods. Along the way we stopped and enjoyed a lot of local food and drink. Fedaa is brilliant, if you are lucky enough for her to be your guide, I can promise you are in for a fantastic day. She is super knowledgeable, enthusiastic, passionate about Syria and above all, super good fun to explore with. All makes for an amazing day.If you are slightly hesitant about visiting Syria, you should. If you are unsure whether you should use a guide company, I highly recommend you do as you will have a far better experience. And if you are not sure which company to use, use Syrian Guides.Thanks to Fedaa, Mary and Rami for making my trip to Syria simply brilliant!
