    Loved an insight into Bahraini food & walking around the souk. Had I not done this tour I would not have known about or tasted any of the local delicacies. The guide, Maram was the best. Extremely knowledgeable and friendly. It felt like spending a morning with a local friend. Highly recommend!

    Great food tour that was not only delicious but educational. Tasted both Bahraini and Indian food. The right amount to eat for the 10am tour.

    We joined Yusuf for a food tour during our visit for the Bahrain F1 and had such a wonderful time. We stopped at so many places, tried delicious food, learnt so much about Bahrain. It was the best tour we did while in this lovely little country and I’d highly recommend it to anyone visiting. We went back to the Souk the following day and revisited one of the restaurants much to the delight of the owner who remembered us. We loved the touch of the Bahrain guide and all the photos at the end. Thank you Yusuf! Joanna and Spencer

    ANN! This review came as fast as a F1 Car :D As only few hours ago we were together on the tour. We appreciate you choosing us, and wish an awesome stay in Bahrain
    A truly wonderful experience with a local tour guide. I would recommend this tour to anyone visiting Bahrain

    This good tour experience was incredible. From the moment I met Yousf he made me feel very welcome. The tour is very well organised. You get to learn about the history, the culture and of course the FOOD. We got to try so many incredible foods, one tastier than the other. The trip was a perfect length of time as each stop had its only unique charm. Yousf was so incredibly informative and I’m so thankful he showed me around his homeland. I would recommend this tour to anyone. What better way to see a place, than to ‘ do what the locals do’. Yousf provided that service!

    Aoifeee! Thanks for choosing us. Such a lovely morning it was where everything was just perfect. Its always a pleasure to share our country's culture and history. Until one day, we shall meet dear friend :D
    Delicious. Unforgettable. Authentic.

    The Viator Local Food Tour in Bahrain was an outstanding experience. Led by a knowledgeable and passionate guide, the tour offered a diverse selection of Bahraini cuisine, from traditional street food to contemporary dishes. Interacting with local vendors and chefs added depth to the experience, while the small group size fostered a sense of camaraderie. Overall, it's a highly recommended tour for anyone looking to explore Bahrain's culinary scene authentically.

    Excellence = Intelligent Local Guide + Culture + Delicious Food
    Paul_G, Feb 2024
    Having traveled around the world, and more than 100 global cities, I know the difference between a decent food tour and an excellent one. This tour is without a doubt the ladder. Led by an intelligent, world, traveler, guide himself, the tour is a sincere and well thought out overview of foods from this region of the world, along with history and culture. Could not imagine a better version of this tour.
    Response from Host, Feb 2024
    As a fellow traveler, having traveled the world and served many guests, you are surely a person that will be remembered Mr. Paul. Lovely time spent with you, & we may meet in the future, perhaps over another PinkAlien tour somewhere new :D
