Beware of guide

cindygtomlin, Jan 2025
I was very disappointed in this tour. My guide spoke very little English and we had a hard time communicating. I don't think we did the whole program. I know we did not go to the pearl diver's house. I did not learn anything about pearling in Bahrain. A complete waste of my time and money.
