Highly recommend this tour. Both locations are accessible without a tour guide but having Waleed was useful. Particularly at the Al Qurain Museum where there is no guide and more limited information.
Waleed was happy to share openly about life in Kuwait, including cultural differences, political and history.
The Oil and Gas Exposition was very informative, excellently presented and speaks to the development of Kuwait as funded through Oil and Gas. There were interactive exhibits and an excellent video about the 600+ well set alight when Iraqi troops left the Kuwait at the end of the Gulf War (largest environmental disaster in history).
In addition to the two sites, Waleed took me to the Kuwait Tours and would have taken me to the old market and museums had I not already seen these/ been a bit tired. I like this tour as an addition after you have explored a few of the more readily accessible sites (beach, towers, old souk).
We finished with an excellent Persian dinner (not included in tour).
