Posted on ztubertVerified You will not find better guides than this team. I have just returned from my 3rd private tour of Syria, all taken with Syrian Tours. You will not find a better company to deal with. From day 1 of my 1st tour in 2024, they have been amazing. Their passion for their country and it's long and complex history is infectious. From the moment I first met Mary and Rami, they have treated me as an old friend, rather than a customer. Nothing is too much trouble for them. If you show an interest in a place, they will do their very best to go there. This tour we concentrated on the coastal areas as well as the Valley of the Christians, and a few historical sites we missed before, such as Ebla and St Simeon. My personal highlight was a visit to the mosaic museum at Ma'arat al-Nu'man, once the 2nd most important mosaic museum. A very humbling experience. During the recent conflict a team of local archaeologists protected the contents as best they could, covering them and stacking sandbags in front of them, even though the buildings sustained damage from both barrel bombs and Russian airstrikes. I highly recommend Syria as a country to visit. The people are so warm, friendly, and generous. And the team at Syrian Guides are perfect examples of that. There are still regions of Syria I need to visit, and I know exactly who I will be visiting them with.Posted on Shane LVerified Beautiful Syria Mary who is part owner of this company was very patient & supportive with my schedule changes. Syrian guides is a very professional group of people. Who care deeply about Syria & their guests. They went out of there way to help me organize & assure that my experience across Syria was everything I wanted it to be. From cultural education to ancient sites. I had an incredible experience. Wasim was my guide for many days across Syria. Phillip was my driver & together we had an unforgettable experience. Wasim knew every guard at every site & made sure i had unique experiences. From walking the secret private exit in the throne room of the Citadel in Aleppo. To meeting restoration engineer at Le Krek des chevaliers. To meeting the museum manager in Damascus. I could not have had a better guide or better experience through Syria. I am very humbled & grateful to Syrian guides & their support staff.Posted on ZiadVerified An Unforgettable Journey Through History in Palmyra Syria is a land that tells the story of human civilization, and there is no better place to feel this than Palmyra. It is not just an archaeological site; it is a living memory of ancient kingdoms and cultures. I recently had the pleasure of visiting Palmyra, and it was a truly breathtaking experience. This was a special mission for me, as I had the privilege of leading a local team to explore the site. Walking through the golden columns and the ancient streets, we discussed the deep history of the city, the legacy of Queen Zenobia, and the magnificent architecture that has stood the test of time. Despite the challenges the country has faced, the spirit of the place remains strong and captivating. Being there, sharing stories and explaining the significance of the ruins to my team, made me feel incredibly proud of my country's heritage. If you love history and adventure, Palmyra is a place that stays in your heart forever.Posted on Ana PVerified Absolutely incredible I travel a lot and this is by far the best tour I have ever been on. I travelled solo in February 2026 for a total of 7 days. Words cannot describe how thankful I am to Syrian Guides and my guide Ayham. From the beginning, communication was excellent, not a question was left unanswered. Everything was perfectly organised and Ayham made sure I had the most special and unique experiences, immersing me in the authentic Syrian atmosphere and hospitality. Knowledgeable, friendly, funny, and caring! And a big thank you to our driver Wessam!!Posted on Sana SVerified One of the best Trips of my life. Me and my sister travelled with Syrian Guides in Feb 26 that arranged a private tour for us, and we honestly had the most incredible experience. From start to finish, everything was organised smoothly and professionally. Our guide Ola was absolutely fantastic – friendly, fun, and incredibly knowledgeable. We got to know each other so well and it never felt we were strangers. She brought the history and culture to life in such an engaging way, and we learned so much while still feeling relaxed and at ease. I had made a list of places I wanted to visit along with some recommendations from a friend and she made every effort to make sure we were able to get through it. It felt less like a formal tour and more like exploring with a very well-informed friend. Every detail was thoughtfully arranged, and we always felt comfortable and well looked after. Mary and Rami came to visit us at the hotel. The warmth and hospitality we experienced made the trip even more special. We had an amazing time and made memories we will always cherish. The people are very friendly and the food was amazing. Damascus was a dream with its history and rich culture. We also travelled to Palmyra and Maaloula. We would highly recommend this company and Ola to anyone considering a trip to Syria – it truly exceeded our expectations and we could love to go again and again.Posted on SSVerified Syria private tour Our trip with Syrian Guides was one of the most fun and memorable experiences we’ve ever had! Everything was so well organised. It was really flexible and delivered everything that had been promised . We changed plans last minute and and that was never an issue. Our guide, Ola, was more than fantastic! She was really friendly and easygoing and made so much effort in showing us the things we were interested in . She was really knowledge and handled everything for us ranging from shopping to providing us with our favourite food . Nothing was too much hassle for her . Ola is one of the kindest people we have ever met :) Our driver Eliyas was also excellent — professional, friendly, and always on time. We laughed so much, explored incredible places, and had the best time from start to finish. We couldn’t recommend Syrian Guides more — they made everything seamless, fun, and unforgettable!Posted on Kačka PVerified 8-day tour Syrian Guides’ 8-day tour was amazing. Their approach is very personal (we also met other guides, including Rami), and you really feel that they take great care of you. The program was full of interesting sightseeing, food, and activities. I had a great group full of funny and interesting people, and an awesome and wise tour guide, Wasim, who shared a lot of information and took care of us the whole time. That must be very exhausting, but he handled the whole tour with a smile. Syria is a great country to visit and is full of kind, friendly, and welcoming people. There is no need to worry about safety, especially if you are with Syrian Guides!Posted on Anu TVerified A very nice experience in Syria We had a very nice experience in Syria.

We would definitely choose this company again, and we warmly recommend them to anyone who wants to enjoy Syria and get the most of the visit. With them you really feel safe and welcome.Posted on Marius MVerified An Unforgettable Experience with Syrian Guides ⭐ I had an amazing experience with Syrian Guides and couldn’t recommend them more highly. From the very beginning, the team was professional, friendly, and extremely knowledgeable. They organized everything smoothly and made sure we felt comfortable and safe throughout the entire experience. What truly stood out was the passion and pride the guides have for their country. They shared so many interesting stories, historical insights, and local perspectives that you simply wouldn’t get traveling on your own. It made the whole trip much more meaningful and authentic. The itinerary was well planned, giving us enough time to explore, take photos, and really enjoy each location without feeling rushed.
