What our customers said about these 2-day tours
From archeological tours on site to breathtaking highly spiritual sights. We like to think that we provide the best cultural tours filled with historical knowledge, but we are constantly working to improve.
In these 2 days tour to Syria, we are aiming to highlight the remarkable attractions of Damascus and its environs. The fact that Syria is once again opening its borders to tourists from all over the world and that it is regaining its touristic relevance made our clients very delighted. Therefore, we value their endorsements of us and we like to show how they felt working with us.
“What a wonderful experience! Although it was just a two days tour but it lived up to our very high expectations. The food in Syria was really plentiful, I had a variety of meals and snacks, but the Shawrma really won my heart-even though I had previously tried it in a different middle eastern country, the Syrian version is unquestionably the greatest! Additionally, the Damascene people was really friendly and charming. With this incredible assistance SyriaLink agency provides, next time I will most certainly stay more than 2 days.”
” This was our second experience with SyriaLink. And we are delighted to give them an excellent rating on this weekend tour, everything run very smoothly, from initial contact, to booking, to superb coordination by the tour organizers. The selection of tour sites was perfect, me and my husband come from an Orthodox Christian family and what really pleasantly surprised us was Maaloula city near Damascus with its monasteries that date back to the Roman era and the language of Christ that is still spoken there by the local inhabitants. Unfortunately, the village has been affected during the Syrian Civil conflict. Nevertheless, Maaloula is a very interesting town to visit.”
“We had the most remarkable weekend family Syrian tour. Not only was everything wonderful, but we also had the sense that the entire team, including our guides, truly cared about us and wanted to make this trip special. Our trip’s diversity, which included everything from archaeological sites to medieval monuments, pleasantly delighted us. What really stunned me was the Umayyad Mosque, this place is filled with history! Every corner, inside-out, has a story to tell or pays tribute to a kind of art created by these long-ago people. I was very pleased to hear how Muslims and Christians still pray together here and tried to read about the Byzantine characteristics of the mosque, which makes it unique in the world.”
