Enjoyable experience. Our guide Moby was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic showing us around the city.

Our guide Mubi was really great although he spoke really fast! The whole tour was really good and covered lots of sights. The Dhow boat was good although the actual boat could do with some maintenance. Great view of city.

Ali was an incredible tour guide. His local knowledge of the area was extensive, we took the morning tour in a private air conditioned vehicle and were supplied with water. Unfortunately, because we travelled during Ramadan, and on a Friday it meant the souq had not yet opened ( opens around 2pm). The boat trip provided great photo opportunities of the skyline. I cannot Fault the tour it was great value for money and gave us a great insight into the areas of interest of Doha. Many thanks Ali

My guide Sam did a great job of showing me the interesting and impressive parts of Doha, this multi-billion creation that has risen from the desert. Instead of spending a long layover sitting at the airport, I decided to book a private tour of the city. It was an excellent decision. My guide knew his adopted city well and was very knowledgeable about all we saw.. I was concerned before booking this that there might be a problem in this conservative Muslim country with a male guide being the companion/guide of a female traveling solo. I shouldn't have worried. There wasn't even the slightest discomfort or problem. Sam was informative, enthusiastic and friendly. All in all, it was a vey pleasant afternoon. I highly recommend.

Great tour. Really took advantage of the limited time (6 hours) we had in Doha between flights. I was able to customize things in advance to make sure to see everything I wanted to. Unfortunately, we were there on a Friday morning, so the National Museum was closed, the Mosque was off-limits, and the Souk was pretty empty. On the other hand, traffic was light and we were able to get great photos without a lot of other tourists in the shot. Sam was a great guide, really did an excellent job taking advantage of the light traffic to take us to places that weren't even on my list, to make up for the things we couldn't do. The company was very responsive from the start. I'd definitely recommend going with them, and request Sam if you can!

Awesome city tour of Doha. We saw almost all the main attraction and tourist places we should see in Doha. Sam accommodated us in changing one of the sites because we had already been. It was an amazing tour

The tour was impeccably organized. Our questions before departure were answered extremely promptly, our guide and driver, YAM, was early for our pick up and communicated with us via whatsapp. The car was very clean and nice, the driving safe and the conversation and information very interesting. Yam’s explanations helped us understand Doha and Qatar much better. The tour was personalized according to our preferences (we went to a part of the Pearl we hadn’t seen and we went to see the Lusail football stadium). The boat ride was pleasant as well (although the boat itself is not really top quality). This is a good tour, made by people who really respect their work! Well done, Yam & team!

Had an amazing tour experience with Zulfi Ali. He proved to be a courteous and professional guide, efficiently navigating through Doha city while highlighting significant landmarks. Zulfi demonstrated extensive knowledge of the city's history, even recommending delightful food options and restaurants for future visits. Additionally, he not only treated me to tea but also captured fantastic pictures. Highly recommend booking a tour with him.
