Excellent Guide and Tour - Highly recommend this tour if your time in Kuwait City is brief. Excellent and informed tour guide who seemed to care that the day was a success. Never felt rushed and despite things being closed the day felt full.

The perfect Kuwait tour - Walid was an outstanding guide, driver, interpreter and all-around half-day companion during my one full day in Kuwait. The tour began with obligatory visits to the Kuwait Grand Mosque, the Kuwait National Museum and the Sadu House, a living exhibit of ancient Bedouin weaving arts that are still practiced today. From there, we drove the 35-kilometer causeway over Kuwait Bay to the desert. Crossing open terrain, we went to the remains of a Kuwaiti military base destroyed by Iraq at the beginning of the Gulf War. Then we started seeing camels, approached a few and met the owner, who milked one of the camels into a plastic water bottle for me to drink from. The milk was perfectly fine, if on the warm side on that 110-degree day. The perfect host, Walid was more than accommodating to stop for photos and even to take photos. Finally, he took me to the massive Al-Mubarakiya marketplace and suggested a comfortable (air-conditioned!) restaurant that offered a large menu of traditional Kuwaiti dishes. I had both lunch AND dinner there, as I went back to the market at night, when it cooled down to 103, to buy a Persian carpet. This tour was well worth the price. A full-day tour is too long, especially in the summer heat. Walid's year-old and very clean Toyota SUV has excellent air-conditioning.

Worth it - Such a wonderful experience seeing the sights all around Kuwait. Definitely worth the cost. Walid is a very knowledgeable guide and he even spent more than the time alloted to show us more parts of Kuwait that weren't originally planned.

Kuwait Half Day - The half day tour was enough to see Kuwait. The only downside was not able to go into the Grand Mosque because it was Friday, their closed on the weekend. Our tour guide brought us around town to make up for it.

A for Effort - I had high hopes for this tour. I had read how knowledgable the guide was and how memorable he made this experience for guests. I was allocated a different guide (based on the names in the reviews) and this poor guy didn’t really know much of anything about Kuwait. I’d ask questions and he’d tell me he didn’t know. For example, I asked when the Kuwait Towers were built and he said “I don’t know.” He was friendly and happy to take photos of me, but I don’t know if there was a language barrier or if this isn’t his main role with the company. I’d trust him to be my driver around Kuwait, but I really needed someone who could guide and really engage with me. I guess I’ll just have to come back to Kuwait and try again! He did select a great lunch spot, so kudos to him for that.

Experience cancelled by Guide. - I organized this visit based on all the positive reviews read on TripAdvisor. Unfortunately the visit was cancelled the night before by the Guide. I was sent an email informing me of the cancellation due to an unforeseen event not better detailed. So unfortunately I cannot review the activity. This cancellation left me a little disappointed because the activity itself could be a great experience to get to know the city better.
