El tour es muy interesante solo para los amantes de la arqueología. Los yacimientos se encuentran en pésimo estado de conservación, aunque hay planes de importantes inversiones. El guía tenía su casette más o menos aprendida , pero no era en absoluto una persona preparada, desde luego no adecuada para este tipo de tour. Incluso, para mi estupefacción, me insistió en no menos de tres ocasiones que me llevara unas piedras de recuerdo " Todos los turistas lo hacen " Al menos me llevaron a sitios a donde posiblemente no hubiera sabido llegar ni con GPS.

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.
