I really enjoyed this experience and highly recommend it! The spots were really authentic and now I’m obsessed with meshyawa 🤣 Ahmed was fabulous and made the experience even more valuable
Amina, thanks alot for booking with us. And indeed Ahmed is always keen on making his guests have the best experiences. And just so you know, that is the story of all Bahrainis, to be obsessed with Mahyawa :D Glad you liked it, thanks again.
Ahmed was an absolute blast and made my very first tour in Bahrain such a memorable experience. From the moment we met him, he was easy to communicate with, incredibly personable, friendly, and genuinely funny. The kind of guide who instantly makes you feel comfortable and excited to explore. He was the perfect welcome to Bahrain, setting the tone for a fun night filled with laughs, great conversation and nonstop good energy. We truly had the best night with him! And the food? Excellent. Every stop was thoughtfully chosen, delicious, and felt like a true taste of Bahrain rather than a touristy checklist. Ahmed’s passion for the food and culture really shined through and made the entire experience even better. How enthusiastically other locals greeted him on the street was evident on what a great person he is. If you’re thinking about doing a food tour in Bahrain, Ahmed is the guide you want. Fun, welcoming, and unforgettable — I couldn’t recommend him more!
What an honor to have a great review like this. It truly puts a smile on us to know that we made your very first tour in Bahrain memorable. And indeed Ahmed's passion to food and Bahrain shows in his tours. Thanks again for your time to leave this review as well Mr. Norman.
Had a simply amazing tour with Ahmed. Great conversation, learnt so much and loved Ahmed’s passion for Bahrain and its food and culture. Really appreciated that family owned cafes and restaurants are part of the beating heart and soul of old Manama! Thanks so much Ahmed. Shukran.
Amazing, we are glad to hear you loved our food tour with Ahmed. Shukran for choosing us, and also for taking the time to leave this review. It really does help us.
We recommend the food tour with a local guide, Yusf. He took us into all sorts of hole-in- the-wall cafes, sweet shops and restaurants in the souk, the oldest market in Bahrain, to which we would not have dared to venture on our own, for fear of dire gastric consequences! We thought we were already familiar with the area, having spent some time surveying the merchandise in the gold shops, but we toured the market in more depth with Yusf, who took us through the winding streets of the spice market as well. We sampled a variety of culinary delights, surrounded by locals playing dominoes and chatting, while he gave us insights into the Bahraini culture.
What a lovely morning it was with you Susan and John. Felt like showing around my friends who are visiting. I loved your attention to details in your questions, it shows how you actually care about learning and observing new cultures which is beautiful. Thanks again dear, and hopefuly nexxt time we can get the whole family with the children.
Excellent experience! More than just a food tour. Time well spent and we went to food places I would have never knew existed.
Amazing, Glad to hear that you enjoyed our food tour. And YES, we designed our tour to take you to places that will be hard for you to find :D Thanks again
Woo, wou, wou, ¡amazing (una chimba) food Tour! Highly 200% recommended! I booked it on my first day and my first time visiting Bahrain — I loved it. :) I’m truly very satisfied. Great attention to detail and constant communication. They offer an authentic and complete experience, immersing you in local traditions and history, and transmitting a warmth and kindness that is truly unmatched. Every food stop is an opportunity to explore, be surprised, and enjoy an incredible variety of flavors and textures that, as a tourist, you would probably never discover on your own — especially not on your first visit. So yes, it’s absolutely worth it. Oh! And you don’t need to worry about documenting everything — they do an amazing job and share it with you shortly after the tour ends. It’s a very complete and enjoyable tour. Ahmed, our guide, was top, top, top! ¡Muchas Gracias!
Thanks a lot for your awesome support and for trusting us with your time and money. We are very happy to know we have added some positive memories to your trip in Bahrain.
Ahmed made our first food trip very memorable with tastings of tea (Karak, Persian and Lemon) Bahraini halwa, Indian chaat and a Bahraini meal that cannot be missed. Sharing life stories, love for food made the quaint yet unique vibe of the Manama souk very enjoyable.. Must do tour with the affable, food loving Ahmed! Highly recommended
Thanks you so much for choosing us to be your first ever food tour. This is incredibly meanigful to us.. And indeed, Ahmed always ensures to make his guests feel welcomed. We are glad you enjoyed your time. Thanks again
Amazing food and love the explanation by Ahmed. Please join him and go on the tour. You will love the food!
Thanks for your time to leave this review, and of course thaanks for choosing us to feed you and take you around Bahrain :D It's a pleausre
You can’t miss this. It was insane, we walked past those shops and they were overlooked by us. When we went back with the guide, they became interesting because of the stories and histories behind those shops! Super friendly people and I was SO FULL from the tour.
AMAAZING to hear such awesome feedback. We truly love our job, especially when we know that we were able to put a smile on our guests. Thanks for choosing us
This tour with Sharifa was an absolute delicious delight. Not only did we taste universally excellent local food, but Sharifa also taught me an extraordinary amount about day to day life and culture in Bahrain. I highly recommend this tour for anyone who wants to eat and learn in Bahrain.
Thanks, Erik. For choosing us at first and secondly for leaving this review. And indeed Sharifa is great at showcasing our culture of Bahrain. It warms our hearts to know that we were able to deliver to you a 5 stars experience. Thanks sir
