Best transit tour with Purna
Tebogo M,May 6, 2026
- Review from Viator
5.00We had an excellent experience with Purna as our Doha transit tour guide. He is incredibly knowledgeable and shared fascinating insights about the city, its culture, and key landmarks throughout the tour. Purna was also very professional, friendly, and attentive, making sure we were comfortable and fully enjoying the experience despite the short transit time. His passion for what he does really stood out and made the tour both engaging and memorable. I would highly recommend Purna to anyone looking to make the most of their time in Doha—even on a short layover. Thank you for such a great experience!

What truly stood out was that he took more time than required to make sure we had the best possible experience. His dedication and personal effort made the tour feel very special. Highly recommended! Thank you, Sudarshan, for an outstanding experience!

5.00We loved the tour. Our guide, Sudarshan, was super nice and devoted. He explained all the important details and information we needed to get to know and understand the places we were visiting. The points where we stopped in the itinerary were amazing, and the Dhow ride has perfect views of the New Doha bay.

5.001st time in Qatar so everything new and different from usual holiday experience for us. So impressed with the architecture of new and old, everywhere so well organised and clean, stunning planting schemes and open spaces. The tour included visits to a range of totally unique areas, saw camels, falcons, trip on a beautiful dhow across the bay, Souq Waqif, all the while our guide Yam from Nepal, explaining the meanings and significance and history of what he was showing us. One of the most interesting and educational days ever. Highly recommend him.

5.00This tour was perfect for me as I was a transit passenger and had one day to see the city. 4 hour tour was conducted by tour guide Yam . He was very well prepared and made sure all the highlights were covered and took extra time to capture pictures and even took me to a local dining place to experience the local cuisine in Souq Waqif
Excellent

5.00I learnt a lot about Doha and its history from my fabulous guide Sudarshan. Had a great time walking around the colourful Souq Waqif learning about the different areas including the perfume and spices market. Sudarshan's communication was excellent in the lead up and early for pick up at the hotel which I loved !! Would thoroughly recommend Sudarshan to any future travellers.
