Discovered Bahrain 🇧🇭 - Very good experience. Camel farm was interesting. Portugal 🇵🇹 fort was one of the historic site to visit. Manama Grand Mosque 🕌 was so peaceful and beautiful. The national museum explained a lot about Islamic culture from birth to death. The boat was enjoyable. Finally the Souq was just ok. The guide was very experienced and fluent in English and explained in detail and took care of me well.

Tour guide is very... - Tour guide is very knowledgeable, passionate, friendly and accommodating on the tour. I accidentally left my wallet in his car and he returned it to me. This was a good way to efficiently get an overview of some of the sights in Bahrain.

Excellent introduction to Bahrain - This is an excellent tour to see the principal sites in Bahrain for those on a short stay. Hasher my guide was knowledgeable and happy to answer any questions. It was hot so make sure to wear a hat- I visited at the end of May which is a hotter time of the year

Pleasant tour of Bahrain in a day - Very enjoyable day.. our guide was very hospitable and drove us in a comfortable vehicle to each venue informing us of some historic facts along the way and the boat ride was fun. It was hot outside at the fort I should have taken a hat and water but also an interesting visit.

Great Tour - I enjoyed the tour with Hasher. He is very knowledgeable and friendly person. Communication from the beginning was very good. Hasher picked me up from the hotel and we started the tour. I was astonished with rich ancient history of the country and exhibition in the museum. Bahrain is a beautiful country. The boat ride on that hot day was perfect and it's a great way to see the city of Manama and its panorama. I fully recommend this tour to everyone.

A LITTLE BIT OF BAHRAIN - I travel a lot as a flight attendant and try to take tours wherever I visit. If you have a short amount of time like we did, this tour is perfect! I appreciated Hasher's knowledge, professionalism and enthusiasm for his country. I thoroughly enjoyed the Bahrain museum, boat ride, Royal camel farm and the souk. After our tour, I have a newfound appreciation for the history and culture of Bahrain. It is a great way to get to know a little bit about this interesting Kingdom, and Hasher as a guide made all the difference. He was attentive to our needs, friendly and even brought me back my phone when I left it in the van! I was reluctant to accompany my crewmates on this tour initially, since I can easily be overcome by the heat, but I managed just fine, and thanks to the excellent a/c in the van and the shade at the sites, I had no problems at all. If you don't have that much time in Manama, this is the way to go. Thanks Hasher!

Great half day tour - This was the perfect tour to get acquainted with the city. Our guide/driver, Hasher, was so friendly, knowledgeable and fun. We got to visit the fort, pet some camels (my favorite activity!), shopped at the Souq, visited the museum and the Grand Mosque. I also loved the hotel pick up and drop off. Highly recommend this tour!
