Maher gives the BEST tours in Bahrain - Maher is a truly wonderful guide who showed us around the beautiful and historic city of Manama and the We visited a Fort, Mosque and National Museum and toured surrounding areas of Bahrain. He is an excellent communicator with deep knowledge of Bahrain’s rich history and culture, and he knows exactly where to go to help you fully immerse yourself in the experience.
Maher took us to the best spots for sightseeing and photography, and we even enjoyed a delicious traditional Bahraini lunch along the way. We also toured the old souks, where he kindly helped us bargain and get the best prices, which made the experience even more enjoyable and authentic.
If you’re looking for an amazing, knowledgeable, and friendly guide in Bahrain, look no further than Maher. Highly recommended!

Ask for Maher (guide). You won't be disappointed. - Maher (guide) was superb. From regular communication ahead of hotel pick-up to knowledge of the sites we visited. It was a pleasure having a conversation with him including learning about his life story coming from Kuwait, has 22-year old boy/girl twins (as I do!), etc.

Maher Tours: The Adams'Bahrain experience - My family of 3 and I were visiting from the US and booked a half day trip with Maher Tour.
OUR TOUR guide was SPECTACULAR in every sense of the word: from start to finish, Mr. Maher pick us up at our location. The van was cool and Accomodating, he started pointing out things immediately on our way to our first stop.
He was patience, Informative, and always ensued we were hydrated, offering water. He took us into local shops, where we were offered complimentary sweet treats, recommended an Authentic Baharian restaurant in Yateem Center that was excellent.
He rolled out the red carpet for us.
I will be moving to the area soon and I will be sure to request Maher Tour for ALL my guest to learn and tour the Island of Bahrain.

wonderful morning tour...we learnt so much! - Maher was a perfect guide for our 4 hour tour. He contacted us immediately after booking and was very flexible with the times. He is very knowledgeable guide and taught us so much about Bahrain. He was particularly astute st timing our tour as we had a running engagement at 2pm....so he showed us all the important things within the timeframe. particularly memorable was visiting the mosque at exactly the right time to hear the call to prayer.
a fantastic tour...highly recommended

Outstanding! - I found this a great way to learn about the history and culture of Bahrain in a relatively short time. I only had half a day available and Mayer’s tour was outstanding! Maher is a true professional with a deep knowledge of Bahrain, its history and culture. I can highly recommend this tour to anyone. Many thanks Maher for a great experience!

A Great Tour! - Ali was a very knowledgeable and personable guide. In addition to the tour itinerary, he showed us a few of the ancient burial mound sites. We also visited a site where we got great views of many of Manama's most beautiful buildings. It was a very worthwhile experience.
