Well-organized company im term of Reservation, Itinerary and Guiding Tours. Great & Unique Experience when it comes to the communication that Discovery Beyond Borders assures between tourists & locals. New Discoveries & Unique Adventures in term of Destination Choice. Diversity & Creativity in term of Activities. Positive Spirit & Friendly Behavior by the Tour Operator Pia Abboud. Food Tastings are the Best! "Enjoying" comes in the First place. Prices are Reasonable. I definitely recommend "Discovery Beyond Borders" to discover Lebanon in a Unique & Lovely Way. Bernard Assaf - Lebanon
I could not have dreamt of a better guide than Pia, Discovery Beyond Border's founder, for my first trip to Lebanon. Pia is passionate, professional and very knowledgeable about her country. Thanks to her, I was able to discover this beautiful country through interactions with inspiring locals, hikes off the beaten track and great food. Delphine Chevalier - France
We took our family to Beirut in April. On this trip we visited both Ouzville and Baalbek with Piai at Discovery Beyond Borders. Firstly, Pia was truly amazing. Our daughters loved her and she was a fun, relaxed and knowledgable host. She arranged amazing local trips at both Baalbek and Ouzville and we even made an impromtu stop for some fresh bread!! As a family we've traveled all over the world but Ouzville, Baalbek and Lebannon in general was truly one of the most amazing places We've ever been. We felt safe and had a blast! Joel Primus - Canada
I warmly recommend to travel with discovery beyond borders. We visited the true facets of Lebanon and discovered the culture from the inside. We’ve tasted the best regional food and we visited with local lovers who truly wanted to share their passion for Lebanon. Our group of friends enjoyed the large variety of activities we’ve done, from the boat trip at Tripoli with a local fisherman to the wine tasting in the Beeka Valley... truly unforgettable ! Margaux Barbier - France
Thanks, a lot to Pia from Discovery without boarders who showed us the beautiful hidden, unknown and secret places of her country Lebanon. Her eco-friendly approach, including also to get in touch with a lot of locals for all visits as well as our improved knowledge about Lebanese culture and history definitely wants to come back soon! Alessa Preiss - Germany
This Trip to Lebanon was more that I could have ever imagined it to be and that is thanks to Discovery Beyond Borders and the best guide Pia! Every day of the trip I experienced something that I have seen or done for the first time in my life, this country is full of wonders. Pia showed us her country with a lot of knowledge and passion, took us to the most beautiful places and landscapes, introduced us to local guides and traditional craftsmen. From the impressive temples of Baalbek and wine tasting in the fruitful Bekaa Valley, a boat trip with local fishermen in Tripoli to hiking in the pinewoods with a sunset above the clouds… and the list goes on. And of course the food!! We had the best and authentic food only a local would find Theresa Bashter - Germany
Unforgettable experience in Jordan and Lebanon! The organisation was perfect, which undoubtedly was a challenge for an international group of over 60 people. Recommend to everyone! Oliver Golinski - Poland

Tu es un guide hors pair qui ne compte pas ses heures et qui est toujours attentive et à l’écoute de ses clients. Nous recommandons Pia et Discosverybeyondborders à 100% Lan-anh Guerin - France
Most incredible guide! We spent three full days discovering Lebanon, filled with amazing roadtrips, the best food and people,culture and nature! Pia knows the most perfect and interesting places and is authentic and genuine! Her travel experiences both in Lebanon and all around the world fill her with expertise that you can’t find elsewhere and can’t but be impressed with! Definitely recommend for everyone Yara Farhat - Lebanon
