I had a wonderful afternoon / evening on this tour with Walid in Kuwait! He drove me to a number of places to eat, including two large meals, to give me a taste of some local / regional foods like majboos, shawarma, and knafeh, and traditional tea and coffee. In between the delicious food stops, Walid was kind enough to drive around the city, pointing out important buildings, giving me a great background of the history of the country, and stopping at a few scenic points for pictures. These small side tours gave me time to digest as there was a massive amount of food offered, and Walid was very open to suggestions if there was something you wanted to see / eat. I highly recommend this tour for travelers hungry for information as well as yummy local treats!
