“we met the bus at Mosque as people were already on it from the cruise boat but we got seats together. They follow a strict time limit but the guide didn't really make it clear to some people who couldn't really speak english. The guide should hold up a clock and set the hands to whatever time you have to be back onboard as we nearly left a family behind. The tour just gives you a taste of Bahrain and you see all the main sights. We went to The Avenues ourselves and had dinner one night , nice to see all the shops.”
