Posted on Wesley LVerified The greatest of all time Rami was the best tour guide I could have asked for. Super informative and laid back while managing to pack in all activities.Posted on Mikhail WVerified Syria is a must visit!!!!! Me and my wife did 4 nights 5 days with syrianguides with the amazing tour guide Sara and excellent driver Phillip. We were both blown away by the knowledge Sara had and how they made us feel like family. Syria was an amazing place to travel, from the sites and history surrounding Damascus and all other cities. The people were so friendly and always had a smile on their face making it so welcoming. At all times we felt very safe walking through cities at night time and exploring new areas. If you are traveling to the middle east or had any plans to explore Syria, DO IT!!!!!!! You will not regret itPosted on Aida KVerified love Syria I've traveled to Syria in the end of September and it was SUUUUPEEEER NICE time there. It's was my long-standing dream to visit Damascus and Palmyra, so Syrian Guides made my travel safe, comfortable and intensive. Many thanks to my guide Oula, who is such a good storyteller and very involved in the process. Hope to visit Syria once again and to see Rami, Mari and Oula again <3Posted on coralie bVerified A great experience! A great experience! The organization was impeccable from start to finish.

Syrian guides fulfilled every promise that was made and went above and beyond to accommodate us . We had some unique requests and they made it happen!Our guide Shamel, was incredibly knowledgeable about the history and language evolution of the people who lived and conquered in the places we visited.Posted on ARTK81PLVerified Amazing time in Syria Visiting Syria was one of the most profound experiences of my life. This country, with its incredible depth of history and culture, left a lasting impression on me. From the ancient streets of Damascus, one of the world’s oldest continuously inhabited cities, to the breathtaking ruins of Palmyra, every corner of Syria tells a story thousands of years old.I was deeply moved walking through Aleppo’s Old City, where the scent of spices still fills the air and the sound of craftsmen echoes through the narrow lanes. Though parts of the city bear the scars of war, the resilience and warmth of the people shine through. The reconstruction efforts and the spirit of hope are inspiring — reminders that culture and community can endure even the hardest times.The visit to Krak des Chevaliers and Bosra was equally unforgettable. These UNESCO World Heritage sites, though damaged, still stand as magnificent testaments to Syria’s architectural and historical legacy. Seeing them firsthand made me appreciate the country’s immense cultural importance and the urgent need to preserve it for future generations.I want to extend my heartfelt gratitude to SYRIAN GUIDES for organizing this journey. Their professionalism, local expertise, and genuine care made the trip not only safe and comfortable but deeply meaningful. Every detail — from accommodations to guided tours — was handled with excellence and empathy.Syria is a land of unparalleled beauty, courage, and history. Despite the challenges it has faced, it remains a place that welcomes visitors with open arms and unforgettable hospitality. I will always treasure the memories and the people I met along the way.Posted on Passenger53346649568Verified Amazing trip!
