An Adventure in Damascus After my family finished a cruise in Istanbul, my middle son and I flew to Beirut. Syrian Guides picked us up at the airport, took us over the gorgeous Mt. Lebanon, smoothed our way through the border checkpoints, and whisked us to our Damascus hotel on the ancient Straight Street (mentioned in Acts 9:11), where we met our super articulate guide, Ayham. We spent 3 days touring Damascus and 1 in Palmyra. Four big takeaways: Damascus is super safe, inexpensive, friendly, and historic. The only problem is that the Syrian credit card system is still being restored and thus cash is required for everything. Ayham happily answered our barrage of questions and seemed to know everyone. One surprising thing was the large number of active and visible Christian churches in this overwhelmingly Muslim country. Syria is a great adventure. You should go now, while tourism in Syria is getting back on its feet.

Amazing We had a wonderful tailored tour with some added extras and our time in Syria was truly unforgettable. Ola is superfriendly and attentive. I wish everyone could experience Syria in all of its aspects in such a good atmosphere. Places we stayed at had a special vibe and Syrian people were the cherry on top. I highly recommend this company. Thanks a lot!

Amazing tour We had the most amazing tour with Touleen and Khalid! Sarea was such a great touring assistant to help with my toddler, too. I learned so much about Syria and the sites we visited, and I am already planning another trip back!

We saw so much. Damascus a delight with superb accommodation, Aleppo magnificent, Latakia & the beach wonderful. Each location Our group tour in Syria left us feeling extremely satisfied with all of its elements and that we had made an important voyage of discovery. The recent history of the country has been tragic and we saw evidence with our own eyes that attested to this fact. However, we also were able to appreciate Syria's long glorious historic past in all its complex diversity. Ola, our guide was able to inform us on each and every aspect along the way. We grew very attached to Ola and could not have asked for a more expert and attentive guide. She shepherded us expertly, always looking after our interests and informing us fully at every step. All in all this was an unforgettable experience, an excellent tour, well thought out and, if anyone reading this wonders, perfectly safe. Syria is not dangerous to visit. Come and see for yourself. You will feel safe and well looked after at all times. Thoroughly recommended!

Highly recommend My solo trip experience with Bashar and his team at Syrian Guides was unforgettable. My first time in Syria and we did a 5-day journey through the country starting from Damascus to Aleppo and back. Truly amazing experience. Bashar, a polyglot, is a very knowledgeable guide and made the whole trip smooth and seamless. They will personalize your trip and cater to your preferences. I will definitely be choosing Syrian Guides with Bashar on my next visit.

Welcome to Syria, really. Where to begin - I was wary that Syrian Guides was not legitimate so they arranged a call with an American travel influencer who vouched for the company. I have begun a life changing set of journeys to North Africa and the Levant (apparently there’s a new, hipper term for Levant one might use). These journies enable me to peek behind the veil of American propaganda to see the beauty that is the people who follow Islam, secular and religious. Needless to say, regular trips to Italy will be supplemented with regular trips to Syria and Jordan. If one is wary of flying to Beirut for entry into Syria, Jordan’s Queen Alia Airport is a marvel of modernity and efficiency. Fear not. The United States to my mind is a violent place. In Syria, the shopkeepers in the tourist trade are desperate for business, and literally not one tried to manipulate prices. The honesty of Syrians is one of their many great traits. Go to Syria and you will find a new love for life. Help Syria

Life-changing To travel in Syria with Rami and his team is to understand a country and a society on ways that will be impossible if you go by yoruself. Beside the experience of seeing Damascus and Maaloula what really stays is the conversations about people, food, culture and life. This has been a fundamental trip for me and I am already planning on going back. Thank you!
