Amazing - Maher was the best! I felt very comfortable with him. He was on time and concerned about my desire to see the city. He explained where we were going before hand and during the visit.
Most of all, he didn’t know that I have motion sickness. When it it, I had to lay back, use my meds and stay calm! He was so understanding, allowed me the time needed for it to pass, and made me feel safe: I will use, only him, when I send people to Bahrain or return again.
Number one in my book!!

Excellent Experience with Maher - Maher was an excellent guide. I communicated with him for a private tour via WhatsApp, where he can be reached at +973 3988 4063. We came up with an itinerary, then he offered to include me on a group Half Day Desert Tour after a few people requested him for the same day. This worked perfectly for me. His communication, both with planning and on the tour, was excellent. He was on time with the hotel pickup, pointed out sights along the way, and even brought drinks and snacks. He has extensive knowledge about Bahrain and was always willing to answer questions. It was a pleasure to spend the day with Maher and I highly recommend him to others looking for a good overview of Bahrain.

Highly reccomend! - Absolutely the best experience in Bahrain. Everything went great from the moment i booked the tour, as they contacted me right away and informed me all the following steps. The communication and attitude was great. And i want to mention, Alya, our tour guide, she made our day and basically made this tour awesome. The tour was informative and we spent enough time at each site.
I would definitely recommend them and if i ever come back to Bahrain, i will contact them to arrange more tours!

An Awesome and entertaining tour! - What a spectacular tour! Maher is someone with a lot of knowledge about Bahrain and the history of the country! He was very friendly and he even invited me a traditional tea. I recommend this tour to everyone who wants to see almost the entire country in one day.
