This tour is very good to visit archaeological spots in Bahrain because tour guide and driver were taking and guiding us to our preferred places very flexibly. Tour guide has been staying in Bahrain for a long time, so she could answer to any questions we asked. Thank you so much, Ms. Angela and Mr. Zakrya, you are very good team! The beautiful sunset we saw together beside "The tree of life" will stay forever in our memories.

Short and interesting tour of some of the historical sites in Bahrain. Flexible itinerary so we asked to stop at the oldest mosque in Bahrain and changed the timings so we finished at Bahrain Fort at sunset. Barbar temples were interesting, no one else there, takes 15 mins to go around. The Dilmun burials were in town and we agreed to walk around just one and drive by the rest but you could do more here if you want. The royal burials are more than just mounds and if you go to the National museum you can see examples preserved showing how they were constructed. Bahrain Fort was the biggest site to take in with not only the old Fort but also the remains of the village that the Fort seems to be built on.

We had a great excursion with Farhat Tours today! We covered the fort, the ruins of an old temple, and the royal burial mounds.

I enjoyed learning more about the Dilmun civilization, which existed in Bahrain thousands of years ago. The burial mounds were interesting as well as the other structures that we visited. I found the tour to be unique and informative.

Not a super memorable tour. The Bahrain Fort was closed, so we walked around the outside which was disappointing. Driver and guide didn’t appear interested in the tour, though the guide was knowledgeable and was helpful conveying/contextualizing information at the Bahrain National Museum. The karak chai stop near the end was nice. Overall, just sort of weird lukewarm vibes from this tour tbh.

An excellent driver and a very knowledgeable guide made for a memorable and informative morning about a relatively unknown civilisation.

Husain was extremely knowledgeable and personable. We will take another of his tours on our return to Bahrain. Highly recommended!

I very much enjoyed this tour, and my tour guide Abdul Aziz and driver Sultan were very pleasant and knowledgeable. The four sites we went to were almost all deserted except for us, which was pretty cool - made me feel like I was getting to see things most tourists don't. The one thing about the tour is I would have liked to spend time at the Fort Bahrain museum, and there was no real time for that as it was closing when we were wrapping up our tour. But otherwise, highly recommended.

<p>My tour guide. Abdulaziz Hassani, was magnificent...knowledgeable, helpful, joyful. Both tours were the best I have ever been on. <br/> Cheers. Michael Shaw</p>

<p>It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site an worth seeing but it is not too grand. It is the best site and the others are lesser.</p>
