It gives a taste of Doha in limited time. It covers all the highlights of Doha. The guide was knowledgeable and friendly and very helpful too.

Terrific 4 hour tour

Kerri_L, Apr 2024

Bashaar was our guide. He was fantastic, very friendly and knowledgeable. It is a beautiful clean city and full of surprises. The National Museum of Qatar was amazing and is a must see. So glad we did the tour, best way to see the city went short on time.

Sajid was a fantastic guide. I learned so much about Doha and Qatar. I now understand much more about is history, culture, and it's people. I highly recommend him. He's laid back, knowledgeable, and accommodating.

Dazzling Doha in a day

Angie_F, Apr 2024

My driver/guide Adil was fantastic! He communicated clearly with me in advance, which I really appreciated. He picked me up in a clean, cool SUV that was loaded with cold water at the ready. We first went to the city museum, which was stunning! The architecture was as amazing as the content! He also took me into a special art exhibit there that was dazzling - I would have missed it had he not been with me. We hit all of the cool spots and took some really fun photos. My friends on social are already asking for more. As a guide, Adil very knowledgeable, funny, and entertaining. The time flew by, and I loved every second. Put this tour on your list - especially if you don’t have a lot of time and want to make sure you really see it. Also, as a woman traveling alone, I felt extremely safe and welcome.

A great start to a visit to Doha

Alan_C, Mar 2024

An excellent 4 hours with Adil who drove us around Doha on a whistle stop tour of the city on our first morning. A great start to our stay in Doha

Doha is amazing to tour at night

rhf86rd72d, Mar 2024

We had an 8 hour night layover in Doha and this tour was a perfect fit for the time we had. Adil texted us before we arrived to coordinate the airport pick up. He picked us up right after we got through passport control without delay. We drove in a comfortable air conditioned Prado straight into the city and spent almost 5 hours seeing the main sights. Doha is the city of lights and we think this night tour must be one of the best way to see the highlights at your own pace. Adil was friendly and fun, and we enjoyed our time talking and laughing with him. He knows just where to go to get the best views for photos and what is worth seeing in the time you have available. We look forward to visiting Doha again and hiring Adil as our guide. If you have a 7-8 hour layover in Doha, we recommend you take this tour with Adil!

Spectacular City Tour with the Best Guide

Marlene_M, Mar 2024

What an Awesome Tour seeing the sites in Doha. This tour made us feel as though we have been here for sometime and know the city. However, the true highlight was our tour guide Abdul Nasir... totally engaging, knowledgeable...a walking historian. Abdul also spoke English very well. I have done many tours from traveling and this is one of the BEST. Abdul was very intrtactive and ssisted with taking pictures and kept the tour at a manageable pace. I highly recommend.

A lot to see and experience in 4 hours

Edward_G, Mar 2024

My guide Abdul Nasir was great. He was very knowledgeable about each locations and eager to show me his city. But for my taste the tour crams a lot into 4 hours. I'd skip " The Pearl" a very high end mixed use development built on land claimed from the sea... but its still just a high end development. The Market is great and don't miss the National Museum

Jam packed tour of excellent attractions

Kaizen_C, Mar 2024

I went on this tour with my partner during a layover in Doha. I was excited to learn that our guide was Abdul Nasir when he reached out prior to the starting time, given the many positive reviews that mention him by name on this platform. I am pleased to report that Abdul Nasir exceeded all expectations and was prompt, knowledgeable, pleasant, and attentive. He answered all our questions about Qatar and provided tons of information, and made sure my partner and I were comfortable. All the while this tour happened to be on the first day of Ramadan where everyone is fasting. The tour itself was amazing and each stop of the tour more breathtaking than the next. The highlight of the tour has to be the National Museum of Qatar, with its stunning architecture and exhibits. In fact, my only wish was that we had more time here — we could have easily spent 2 hours at the museum. As it stood with some midday traffic, we were allotted 40 minutes here and had to speed run through the exhibits and skip the gift shop. Perhaps the tour can be further customized for people with longer layovers and we can arrange to have the museum be the final stop of the tour, where we can spend however long we want in the museum and find our own way back to the airport. If we had that option, we definitely would’ve taken it! We are so glad that we went on this tour during our layover and it was as stress free as can be. Abdul Nasir really made the tour wonderful, so if you are lucky enough to have him as your guide you are in good hands.

Excellent afternoon spent seeing the highlights of Doha!

Beth_R, Mar 2024

I wish I'd had more time on this tour! I could have spent many hours in the National Museum of Qatar. It is a MUST DO! Abdul Nasir was an excellent guide. He is super knowledgeable and taught me a lot about the history of Qatar. I loved driving around Doha, seeing the different neighborhoods and learning about the culture of the people of this city. It was really a great afternoon that I wish had been a full-day tour!

It was what we needed...

Adefunke_O, Feb 2024

It was what we needed travelling with a young kid. The guide was very helpful and friendly as he moved us from location to location.

David_P, Feb 2024

Our guide Zohaib was awsome..He such a joy to talk to . So nice n knowledgeable. Our experience was great because of him..

Excellent way to spend a long layover in Doha!

Jack_M, Feb 2024

Zohaib took us around and showed us beautiful Doha by night! We saw saw all the highlights of the city.

Great way to get a city overview

Victoria_M, Feb 2024

Junaid was on time and gave a very informative tour of the city. He was also very good at taking pictures, so I have a lot of great photos from my day. This was a great way to see the highlights if you only have a short time in Doha!

Wonderful city tour with Zohaib

Dilafruz_S, Feb 2024

This was a phenomenal tour of Doha thanks to our guide, Zohaib. He was kind, patient and professional. It is not easy to guide 4 older women but at the end of the tour, we only had praises for him. Most importantly, he was very knowledgeable about his lovely city and country and gave us a wonderful tour. While exploring the city, we were comfortable. He was showing us pretty much every corner that was on the itinerary (and sometimes places that were not on the itinerary because we happened to be at the right place at the right time). He was resourceful, active and upbeat. Couldn't have asked for a better tour.
