The arrangement of activities is a bit loose, and the time spent in museums and mosques is too long, which should be reviewed and corrected.

I decided to book at a half tour a day before the said date. It was really a nice tour , some kind of a private tour before I was alone. My tour guide Mohammad was really great, he’s very kind and knows about history and culture everything you asked he’s very knowledgeable. Recommend for first timer like me.

Our guide, Kaur was an excellent guide who was not only knowledgeable but also professional and friendly. I enjoyed every minute of the tour which served as a brilliant start of my trip. Kaur also suggested some more places to visit. Those recommendations were really helpful to make my visit memorable. Thank you.

Ravunder was a funny, knowlagable and enthusiastic guide that led me to some worthy places in Manama. Sadly the Fort was closed but the rest was definitely worth a visit. Next time I'll join the desert tour as well. The free drinks very an important addition and highly appreciated.
