Fadhell was a brilliant tour guide. We loved his stories and anecdotes sharing the history and culture of Bahrain. We were not rushed anywhere had plenty of time to explore and wander. He also gave us a great restaurant recommendation at the end and even dropped us there.

We were lucky enough to have the tour to ourselves. Having already visited the camel farm, our guide was happy to substitute it for the Dhow boat building much to the delight of my father-in-law. Our guide was informative, witty and even tried some German for the benefit of my inlaws who speak only a little English. All round we would wholeheartedly recommend this tour, especially to those who might find an all day tour too exhausting.
Response from Host, Nov 2024
Thank you so much David. It was pleasure to show you around Bahrain hope to see you again in Bahrain. My best regards to the family.

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!
Response from Host, Mar 2024

Sehr gute Organisation.

Am schönsten war das Kuscheln mit den Kamelen.
