Very professionally conducted Tour by Mr Maher. - Mr Maher a soft spoken well mannered and highly educated experienced person who conducted our tour in an excellent manner in the given time frame giving us a great insight of History of Bahrain. In spite of over 40 deg Celsius temperature and being Tuesday when the Bahrain Museum was closed he conducted our tour in a way as if nothing was missed out. He stopped at all those places enroute where we could take memorable photos and helped in clicking the photos also.
His car is well-maintained and his driving is smooth.
His narrations are precise.
Thanks Mr. Maher for Kadak Chai and Samosa. We loved that.

Fantastic tour! - The tour was excellent! My guide was very friendly and extremely knowledgeable; his English was excellent; and he seemed to know most of the people we encountered along the way. He was able to describe parts of the city that we did not have time to stop in. I could not have gotten a better feeling for the city, its heritage, and its evolving future.

Trustworthy and Kind - Maher is the most pleasant, educational, and polite gentleman. He gave us an exceptional tour of Bahrain. He arrived at exactly the time he said, sent us a pic so we would recognize him, and had a nice car to drive us around the city. He was worth every penny and probably should be charging more. His English is perfect. He is a retired educator and shows in his passion to teach. He helped us practice our Arabic on him and even helped us negotiate good prices in the market when we asked him to help us find a few things we wanted. He even hooked us up with a friend of his for a tour Kuwait when we told him we were in need. That one was just as good.

Great and Very Informative - Maher is an excellent local guide. He picked us up at our hotel on time. He took us to the spectacular sights for photo ops. He was very patient when we got a little bit delayed at a shop in the Souk. We admire his enthusiasm in explaining about the history of Bahrain at the museum. Also, he has packed chilled water and some snacks for us. Shukran. Highly recommended!!!
