Muharraq souq
Muharraq was the country’s capital in the 19th Century and still has much of the attractions of an old-fashioned traditional Bahraini city, with its charming buildings, narrow streets, and fine historic houses with their traditional Arab-Gulf style of architecture.

5.00We had the best tour guide in Bahrain. There were 2 couples on a private tour. We had a busy schedule and she even added more given that we were really interested. She aims to please and wants you to go home with great memories of the country. Her name is Angela Marquis. She works for Bahrain International Travel. Contact Mr. Alfred Marquis at +973 3334 1923 and ask for her!

5.00Nasser and Cosmo are very friendly guides. The tour from south to north with all the stops is very well chosen, and everything was interestingly explained by Nasser in very understandable English. Nasser was also very helpful at the souk, as he supported us with his knowledge when shopping. The driver Cosmo, who runs the tour as an Italian-speaking guide, was also very helpful and also supported us with the photos. We would do the tour with Nasser and Cosmo again and again and can recommend them without reservation.

5.00Bahrain best sightseeing tour. We had the most striking family visit with Ishtar Gate Tours while we were in Bahrain. Everything was awesome, yet we felt, that our local area expert and the group genuinely thought often about us, and gave a valiant effort to make this visit noteworthy. For our children, this certainly has turned into the most enlightening, instructive, and dazzling involvement with Bahrain-something they will recollect about Bahrain culture, custom, and history. As grown-ups, we were charmingly astonished by local escort data, and the way he dealt with our gathering was so proficient. Booking was exceptionally simple and quick, accomplished Bahraini tourist guide, extravagance vehicle and the cost was sensible. We certainly suggest it for families and couples while visiting Bahrain.

5.00To see all that Bahrain brings to the table then is an extraordinary road trip. Booked this outing with my family for a Friday, as that was my main three-day weekend. The disadvantage is that the agenda changes somewhat as you can't go inside the mosque, the additional side is that the streets are exceptionally peaceful. I partook in the old fortification and the stop at the recipe 1 track, while my girl simply needed to get up near camels. The driver and transport were five-star with a lot of sodas and Wi-Fi ready. The aide was additionally excellent. Free inn gets and drops off additionally makes a difference. Generally speaking an extraordinary encounter.

5.00Our group tour with Ishtar Gate Tours was amazing. We came to Bahrain to attend a conference, in the last few days, the conference organiser decided to arrange a 2 days tour for us to see the Bahraini culture and tradition- around 80 persons were in each trip. Our tourist guide was very polite, very knowledgeable and treated each and every traveler with great respect.The buses were very modern,clean and tidy. The tour planner worked with us deligently in planning and executing such a wonderful tour, I will definitely travel with more tours by Ishtar Gate in the future . A big thank for all the staff worked on this 2 days tour and for making our trip to Bahrain a great success.
