Lovely Experience - Had a really lovely experience on this tour with Ravenda as our guide who was very friendly and kept us entertained in between all the beautiful sites.
I signed up for a half day tour, but it was very easy for me to extend and join in on the full day tour.
A day well spent
Thank you Ravenda

Fantastic Manama - It was an amazing trip to Bahrain. Nice hotel for a stay Panorama hotel and Spa.
Went to a nearby mall where you have a Lulu hyper market and a food court where an Indian joint serves amazing north and South Indian food.

A day tour worth the price - Every place is memorable and exciting to see. Although the weather is quite hot but it didn’t bother at all as you get fascinated with vireos of the places visited

This tour is okay, but not more. - There is not too much to see in Manama. In a smaller group of about 12 people we visited almost all curiosities scheduled. Unfortunately the Al-Fateh Mosque was closed. And unfortunately we didn't visit a platform of one of the impressive skyscrapers. The informations the guide gave us were very poor. After the tour you needed a guide book in order to know more about the country, people, economy, cultire and so on.

Waste of time and money - Unfortunately our guide gave us very little information. She was outside of Bahrain and literally did not know anything about the country and the city. Also very poor English. Total waste of time and money.
