Maher was very professional and treated us like VIP guests. We visited Bahrain because of an 18 hour layover and the decision to take a day tour with Maher did not disappoint. Maher was very knowledgeable with the history and explained everything to the best he could. He was very adaptive to the itinerary where we switched going to locations due to the fog, which made the view much better. We definitely recommend taking a tour with Maher if you are visiting Bahrain.

We (two adults, one kid of 3 years and one infant) booked a full day tour with Mr Maher. He is very knowledgeable, reliable, friendly and kind. Concerning client’s wishes Mr Maher is very helpful and supportive. He has a nice SUV car and drives very safe. We had a great day!

Incredible Bahrain day tour - fits in all the core sights you would want to see in a quick day trip!
Maher was exceptional and this tour was immensely informative.
Maher did his best to ensure that we saw as much as possible during our time together and even switched the itinerary up on the fly to include an extra stop since we were tracking well on time.
Since we visited right around National Day, it was a holiday week in Bahrain and the Grand Mosque was closed, so he even took us to another beautiful mosque instead and organized a cultural tour with one of the ladies at the mosque to ensure we had a really eventful, engaging, and educational day.
He also somehow knew all the answers to every question we asked him, which was amazing!!! We got to learn so much about Bahraini culture and traditions from just asking a million questions.
Lastly, when he learned we were in Bahrain only for the day and were heading to the airport after our tour ended, he offered to take us directly to the airport to catch our flight instead of returning us to our hotel, which was incredibly generous of him. Thank you so much Maher - we had a lovely day with you!

We were very fortunate to have booked a full-day tour with Mr. Maher. It was a special treat for me and my two sisters, as we were spending time together after several years, and we are grateful to have picked this tour to explore this beautiful island together!
Everything was perfect right from the start. The booking process was simple, and Mr. Maher went above and beyond to ensure that we could visit all the sites that we were interested in. The pace of the tour was very enjoyable, and while we stopped longer to take pictures at some spots, we never felt rushed. Throughout our time together, Mr. Maher shared with us the history of each site and never hesitated to answer any questions we had. The best part was the local perspective which we really appreciated, as it gave us the true and authentic flavour of the country, its people and rich history.
Referral is the highest form of flattery and just as we were referred to Mr. Maher by our friends, we would recommend him whole-heartedly to our family and friends as well. Mr. Maher is very knowledgeable, calm and patient, and represents his country with great pride and enthusiasm. If you are in Bahrain, you MUST do this tour with him!
Thank you/Shukrun, Mr. Maher for a wonderful experience. We created many fond memories that we will cherish forever. Best wishes, from all three sisters 😊

Mr. Maher gave us such a nice day tour.
He collected all of my requests and made a great itinerary that we were able to visit as more as we can during the short stay of 10 hours in Bahrain. We were touched by most traditional and modern lives of Bahrain. even got chance to a Hindu temple and a synagogue.
I do appreciate Mr. Maher’s guide; and hope one day can revisit Bahrain.

I had a fantastic day in Bahrain all thanks to my guide Maher. He made sure everything in the itinerary was covered and never in a rush, with valuable insights and experiences peppered along the way. The traditional lunch was yummy, the sights stunning. Bahrain may be small, but it is packed with heritage and history. I would never have been able to see and do all I did if it was not for him! Thank you Maher for a memorable tour of your beautiful country. 🙏

This tour is an incredible value for the price. My husband and I ended up being the only ones on the tour and Maher was informative, personable, and extremely knowledgeable. We saw everything on the itinerary and were even able to customize the tour slightly to our preferences. Lunch was delicious, we were able to shop for a few small items at the souq, and we learned so much about the history/archaeology/architecture/geology/culture of the region. It was a fantastic way to see much of Bahrain in only a single day. Do be prepared though, as it is a long day (9AM - 6PM) in the sun, and can be quite hot depending on time of year. We brought lots of water which ended up being unnecessary, as he had plenty of cold water in a cooler in the car. We are very happy we went.

Maher was a fantastic guide. He made contact before I left for my holiday and then again the day before. He messaged again on the morning to send a photo so I knew who to look out for… a really thoughtful thing to do.
He was knowledgable about every location and fit loads in for the full day tour, especially as two museums are closed on Tuesdays. I didn’t get back to my hotel until 18:40 which just goes to show how action packed a day it was. Maher covered all our costs, made sure we were always fed and watered… nothing seemed like a hassle.
I wish every tour guide was as good, thorough and friendly as Maher… definitely worthy of his 5 star review.
