A perfect glimpse of Bahrain in a day! - The reviews are true - Hasher is a very knowledgable and thoughtful guide. He drove us from site to site in a well air-conditioned car, with water refreshments. Hasher made me feel comfortable and at ease. I asked a variety of questions and he was able to answer them all. We were slightly behind schedule but that was not an issue as he was very flexible with timings. The boat tour was just what I needed after a looong day of travelling. He also gave great recommendations for things to do after the tour. Thanks Hasher!

Fantastic tour - Took this tour today with my outstanding guide Hasher! This was a fantastic experience. He picked me up at my motel right on time and I was able to see alot in a relatively short time. As I was solo today and the only one on the tour (thank you for taking the time for only one person!) Hasher was able to customize it just bit to meet my requests. Although I threw him a twist, his timing was still spot on! We were unable to go inside the fort due to repairs from this year's excessive rain, which is absolutely understandable. Everything else was indeed as advertised and well executed. He answered every question without hesitation and with an abundance of knowledge. A very intelligent and personable guide. The boat ride was a very refreshing end to a very warm day. I would definitely recommend this tour. Well worth the price! Hasher, until next time..(I did touch the tree, so we know there will be a next time!) Jim

Excellent tour with top guide - This tour is top! Hasher from Airhome Travels informed me well in advance of pick-up time and content of the trip. He showed me many highlights and provided me with lots of very interesting information. Hasher is a very enjoyable person and this tour gives excellent value for money, including a 20’ boat ride so you can see the Manama skyline from another angle. Great trip 👍
