This is a very late review, but we had a fantastic tour with Abbas. We were the only 3 people on this particular tour, but Abbas could not have been more helpful. He was very friendly and knowledgeable, took lots of photos of us among the food stores and even turned these into a little photo album which he sent to us along with details of all the food we tried. Abbas is an amazing tour guide- he even took time out of his day to provide a lift back to the cruise port. Outstanding service!

The food tour was amazing and the portions were just enough until you reach the next spot. Yusuf was a gem and very knowledgeable on the history of Bahrain and every vendor out there. I really enjoyed his company and his conversation was very inspiring and refreshing. We chatted about any and everything in our few hours on tour. I learned quite a bit. Everyone should book this tour.

I have to be honest, I wasn't expecting a lot from little Bahrain. And, having just a few hours to see the country, I was expecting even less from my visit. But not to worry, Yusuf, the charming, funny and thoughtful operator of this tour (whose English is at native level) had planned our tour methodically, with great care, passion and sensibility towards his guests. So much so that this was one of the best food tours I have ever been on - and that is saying something as I've eaten my way through at least thirty of them all over the world. What really made me smile was that, at the beginning of the tour, two other 'guests' turned up, yet I sensed they knew Yusuf. Indeed, when I asked, he admitted as much; that they, despite being Bahraini themselves, were joining the food tour so as to see another perspective on their country. After a while it became clear to me that I was the only 'real' guest on the tour and they were all there to somehow keep me company, eat with me, and partake in making me feel welcome as a solo traveller. I thought this was so kind, and I had great fun with this friendly, outgoing group of Bahrainis. The food and drinks along the way were excellent. Some, such as a breakfast (and particularly Eid) dish of sweet vermicelli with egg, as well as palm water, were completely novel to me - and there is nothing better than experiencing something new. I also very much liked that Yusuf chose a puri stop on the route, so as to celebrate the large community of Indians who have made his country home. Yusuf was also ably assisted by Sharifa, who is likewise a charming guide and full of interesting knowledge and facts about her country. Thank you both for welcoming me so very well on this tour and managing to feed me such a hearty slice of your country in such little time.

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

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!

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.
