North & West of Qatar - We had a lovely day exploring north & west Qatar. Usman was a great guide. The sites were interesting, and it was a good idea to leave Doha and see a bit of a countryside.

Must do activity in Qatar! - We were notified the night before by tour company about the driver who will pick us up in morning. The driver Adil messaged us on time and adjusted the schedule accordingly. We went on a long drive and were given water/ hot tea on the way. Adil really made us feel comfortable and checked up on us periodically for restroom breaks. We first visited the Mangroves and then the fort and several other stops. Adil planned the day in such a fashion that we got to see an amazing Camel race at the end of the trip. He also helped another vehicle that got stuck in the white canyon sands. Overall, it was an amazing experience and we were extremely happy with the tour and our driver Adil. Highly recommend it.

One day in Quatar - A perfect day with Wadood, he picked us up in the morning with his off-road vehicle and we visited all the interesting spots in the north-west of Qatar. We lacked nothing in the vehicle, we were offered chilled water and snacks. The adventurous day was rounded off by a visit to the camel race.

Nice but long tour to explore North and West Qatar. - Akhtar was our tour guide. He has a wealth of knowledge of Qatar and Doha. We got picked up before the time and it took us to all the tourist points included in the tour. After starting our tour within half an hour, we were taken to a place where a nice tasty Indian tea was served. He explained the history of Qatar and the tourist points we stopped. Since I was vegetarian he took me to the hotel where I eat delicious Indian food.

NW Qatar - Nice and relaxed day visiting northern half of Qatar peninsula coast. Wadood allowed us to stop for photos anywhere we wanted (we were the only guests that day). This was the first time we visited a camel racing track and there were hundreds of camels running and walked around us.

Solo travelers beware: scam! - My guide for this tour was great, his name was Adil. He is a great photographer and a very fun and friendly person. This complaint is not about him but about the company itself. I feel like I got scammed by them. I am a solo traveler. When I was booking the tour, it said $140/person if you are booking it for two people. When I selected one person, the price jumped to $275/person. This is totally normal for solo trips because you basically have to buy out the whole car so I didn’t think anything of it. Anyway, when I was picked up for the tour, I was informed that there was another solo traveler joining my tour. That was totally fine as it is not a private tour and I was happy sharing. However, it pisses me off that they charged me double the price for being a solo traveler when I was going to end up sharing the car anyway. If this other solo traveler and I had simply booked together, we would’ve only paid half. If they were going to make me share the car, they should’ve just charged me the original 2-person price of $140/person. I genuinely feel like I was scammed by this company. Solo travelers beware and DO NOT book this tour, it is an absolute ripoff.

Nice tour, but we didn’t see all mentioned stops - The guide arrived on time to pick us up and we spend 6hours on the trip. We did enjoy it and saw a lot. The reason I am only giving 3 stars is that some spots were just drive in drive out, without leaving the vehicle and walking around getting explanations. That happened at the camel race track ( I felt a bit like we were trespassing) and at the port in Al Khor. We also didn’t do all stops mentioned on the website. We never went to Al Jumail, Zekreet Fort Ruins (we did see the sand hills but no ruins) and Zekreet Beach (I’ve seen a sign, so we passed it) We also didn’t do any stop in Doha , where we were picked up from. I don’t know where the issue is, is the website incorrect or did the driver skip some locations? As mentioned we spend 6hours on the road, and we didn’t stop too often and too long. I do feel, I’ve overpaid. So the tour description needs to be adjusted.
