Interesting tour with something for everyone

Bus was comfortable came on time. Abbas our Bahraini guide was very good and passionate about history. The tour was well organized we picked up participants from various places. Mosque was great but museum was bit too much for me. Tour was expensive relative to other cities but the entrance to the sites was covered.

Visiting the museum and...

Visiting the museum and learning about the history and culture of the country. The tour guide was very knowledgeable, the only issue was that there was not enough time at each of the stops, felt rushed.
