Beautiful Sites and a great guide - We had an absolutely wonderful experience on this tour! Our guide, Hasher, was amazing – so warm, engaging, and incredibly knowledgeable about all the sites we visited. He truly made our day special, adding fascinating insights at each stop and making sure everyone had a fantastic time. The tour was exactly as advertised, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend Hasher and his company for anyone looking for a memorable and well-organized adventure!

Great way to see Manama - Very well organized tour of the main places to see in Manama. The duration of the tour was just right for us as we only had half a day. Tour starts early which was perfect for the October (it was still hot and humid). Haser,our guide, was very nice and explained Bahrain history, customs, and traditions very well. We have explored the souk and historical museum. Thank you Haser for the time well spent.

Excellent service, very friendly driver - Great service. Picked up at the hotel, driver messaged before he arrived to keep us updated.
Ali was very knowledgeable and gave an insight into life in Bahrain as well as giving a history of all the sites visited.
We had a great day and managed to see so many of the sights we planned to visit during our stay in Bahrain

Just what you need in a tour - Took the tour with my wife and son and very much enjoyed it. It gives you a really good sense of Bahrain’s landmarks, with particular focus areas. Highlights for us were the mosque visit, camel farm and museum, but enjoyed all other aspects as well. Our host, Hasher, was amazing. Highly recommend it, and because of what we got to see, we’ll be back to visit again soon.

Good tour with friendly guide - Hasher was an excellent guide, very friendly and informative. And when our tour could not include the national museum because it is closed on Tuesdays, the tour company was quick to offer a choice of alternative sights.

Great guide, great car, great country - Fantastic guide and super comfortable car. Information was so good I scribbled lots down and there’s some stuff on this trip you will remember forever. Loved the camel farm. And the Mosque was really quite special and beautifully articulated by our guide. Don’t miss this!

Very informative and relaxing trip that showed the various aspects of Bahrain in one day - We joined the tour with a group of 3. Hasher (our guide) was very well informed on the history and current situation in Bahrain, and shared a lot of interesting facts with us. Unfortunately on Friday the Mosque and Camel Farm are closed, so we could not visit those. Instead we went to the Tree of Life. In the few hours we felt we saw Bahrain from various perspectives. The day was very pleasant, not too packed but with sufficient time to experience all items in the tour. Most important, the guide was excellent.

One day in Bahrain - Amazing tour! Much to see and learn but the packed 4-5 hours are enough for a first visit to Bahrain.
Hasher is a great guy who knows much about his country, its history and culture. He picked me up at the airport and also brought me back - great service and hospitality at all!
Fully recommend this tour!
