Pleasant experience - A leisurely tour of Doha's main attractions. Samer, our guide, was very nice, gave details about the places visited and adjusted to our pace. It was a pleasant experience.

Exceptional Tour 😊👍 - This was best tour ever 😊 We were in Doha for short time and we decided to go for this tour, We contact this company to arrange tour for us and they respond quickly, Tour was well organised, GuideSam was exceptional he was very welcoming and accommodating, He also explained every sites and cultural aspects of Qatar. Visiting several sites in 4 hours was awesome idea specially when you have limited time, We were in traditional market call Souq Wakif and walk around watching local activities and cultural vibes was perfect! Moving forward to Doha corniche 7 kilometres promenade with charming skyline of new Doha was interesting to capture in camera, Ask guide to allow you some time for walk around corniche promenade it’s worth it, We visit Katara Village a complete contemporary village to explore cultural activities which often organise at Katara beach, Amphitheater and Gallery Lafayette was main attractions there. Then we visit The Pearl island which is artificial island it’s good to walk around at marina and take some photos, It was way better than we expected more thanks to our guide Sam without him nothing was possible. Just go for it, thank me later 👋

Yam was an excellent tour... - Yam was an excellent tour guide. I had a long layover in Doha and decided to do this tour solo. He made me feel extremely comfortable and tailored the experience specifically to what I wanted to get out of it. I got to see so much of the city on this tour. Yam is so knowledgeable about the history and culture of the country. I could not recommend this tour enough!

Doha City Tour - Our guide was exemplary, he suggested an 8am start due to the extreme heat and ensured we were kept as comfortable as possible throughout the tour. He was very knowledgeable and informative and let us experience the many facets of Doha. We could not be more satisfied with the tour overall, the courteousness and thoughtfulness of our guide. Everything was just perfect.

Layover with a quick tour of Doha - Puskar was our tour guide for the private city tour of Doha. Puskar was warm, friendly, and welcoming. He gave us a wonderful tour of Doha where we went to Lusail, pearl island, amphitheater, Souk market and many other places. Puskar was knowledgeable and detailed about the history of Qatar and all the landmarks. We learned a lot about Qatar in just a few hours. It was amazing listening to Puskar telling the beautiful stories about a country he is passionate about.

Not a city tour - We had an absolutely terrible experience and would advise others to STAY AWAY. This is not a tour, it's a very expensive Uber. We contacted the tour operator the night before our tour via whatsapp since we had not heard from them. All seemed well, we were told our guide would contact us in the morning. The next morning our guide contacted us, with a very awkward text exchange and told us to be ready 30 minutes before our tour started, which we were unhappy with, but we complied. However, he was late by almost 30 mins. First strike. The kid, Tariq, showed up and asked us what we wanted to do. Umm, excuse me? I was extremely confused and should have just got out of the car. I showed him the tour we booked and then he started driving. He had terrible communication and had very limited knowledge of what was going on. We started going to Doha port and sat in traffic for about 30 mins since a cruise ship pulled in. We asked him what was here and he told us to let him know when we wanted to take pictures. Then he continued to ask what we wanted to do next. Strike two. After the traffic we told him to just take us to the Souk Waqif. He did, and spent another 30 mins looking for parking on the first level of the parking garage, instead of going to the lower levels which we recommended. He eventually went to the lower level and spent additional time trying to park close to the door instead of just taking one of the hundred empty spots. Once in the Souk we asked him to show us around, he declined and said to just wander and do as we please. We continuously lost him and at one point found him shopping for watches. Strike three. We then asked to go to Katara and if he could tell us what it was, he says "a place to walk around" lol. Strike four. It started raining and we told him to just take us back to our hotel. It was obsoletely ridiculous to call this a tour. It was more like a very expensive uber. He just drove us around for two hours and offered to take pictures. He also took terrible pictures. Based off past reviews we suspect this is a one off, maybe the tour operator forgot about us and over booked due to the cruise ships that pulled in and they asked a young sibling to drive us around. Either way I highly recommend everyone book with someone else.
