- Thabet E0 contributionsThe Place To BeThe Kingdom of Bahrain, also known as the Pearl of the Gulf, is the best country in the Arabian Peninsula. Its people, its culture, its welcoming atmosphere, its history and its unique way of life are all of the many factors that contribute to making it the best. Having lived and worked here since 1992, I have been fortunate enough to have known so many amazing people who have helped me become part of this amazing community.Written April 27, 2024

- 303tessd0 contributionsGrateful that Bahrain Tour Allowed Us an Introduction into this Fascinating CountryMy colleague and I were in Bahrain for work, and had only a very limited window (4 hours!) in which we could explore this beautiful and fascinating country. On very last minute notice, Ishtar Gate was able to arrange a private tour, which gave us a great introduction. Our guide (Hadi) was incredible and we are hoping very much to return. And when we do - we'd love for Hadi show us more of Bahrain - there is so much to see and do here.Written February 11, 2024

We had the most beautiful family tour with Ishtar Gate Tours while we were in Bahrain. everything was planned perfectly , we felt, that our tourist guide and the driver truly cared about us, and did their best to make this tour memorable. For our kids, this definitely has become the most eye-opening and informative experience in Bahrain- something they will always remember about Bahrain culture, tradition and history. For adults, we were pleasantly surprised by tourist guide information and way he handled our group was so professional .
Booking was very easy and fast, well educated Bahraini tourust guide, luxury vehicle and the price was reasonable.
We definitely recommend it for familes and couples while visiting Bahrain.

I booked this tour 10 days prior to the tour which was non-refundable or cancelable. After waiting in the arrival hall at the airport for 1 1/2 hours and calling and emailing multiple time, they finally got ahold of me to tell me there was a mix up. They offered a free tour the next time I was in Bahrain but there will not be a next time. We live in the United States and was visiting Dubai. We took time from our trip to go to Bahrain for 24 hours and this tour company was a no show. Very unprofessional.

Greeting from Ishtar Gate Tours,
We appreciate your detailed feedback- Thank you.
We understand how disappointed you was on the day of tour as the guide was late (1.15 Hours) .
You requested us when we talked ( around 0945 Am) to cancel your tour - we released the full amount you paid for the tour in the same day - the tour you booked was refundable ( that why we fully refunded it in the same day) ,in addition to the free tour which offered by us.
We take this constructive feedback very seriously and do take sincere efforts to improve our guest services and experience; to meet and exceed your expectations.

Recommend tour operator for groups of women, couples, families and VIP groups.
Very professional tour company.
Engaged us right away to find out exactly what we were looking for rather than offering a cookie cutter package. Very accommodating to all requests and last minute changes. The company put us together with a fantastic guide who guided us through various sites and was able to modify our tour due to our interests and fitness level , we learnt many things about Bahraini history and tradition from him.
The trip was a nice mix of historic and cultural activities, nice variety from archaeological sites to local beaches. This was overall a fantastic and very memorable trip - we felt safe during our tour and this was the most important for me.

We sent a request to few agencies, but Ishtar gate proposal was the best - I liked when they mentioned in the proposal ; Safety & Quality comes first.
As a family, we felt very safe and comfortable during the tour ; the guide explained everything in detail with an excellent english speaking skills.
Highly recommend services in Bahrain.

Ishtar Gate Tours was recommended by us from a frind who used thier services last few months. We 7 ladies, 4 senior citizens and 4 adults, were travilling Middle east . from the first tour request we send , they replied to promptly, the tour quotation was easy and explained in detailed about the tour direction .
The guide met us at the hotel and he was so professional in the way he was explaining and talk about the history and the culture of Bahrain..... The guide was also very knowledgeable and helpful. He made us felt so safe and secure with him durung our tour. This was a perfect way to see all important attractions in Bahrain in 1 day was a great help from Ishtar Gate Tour.

Our tour guide Ali picked us up from where we were staying. On accident we booked another tour but Ali accommodated us and took us on tour that will be unforgettable private tour. We loved the vast information Ali provided. I highly suggest a private tour with this company.

Easy to reserve, the guide was professional and explained everything in an easy way.
Nissan patrol was used for this tour which made this tour very comfortable and we felt safe- other operators offered us a sedan car and the price was the same, that’s why we decided not to waste our money and used Ishtar Gate .
