5.00Our guide was amazing all the time. We were unfortunate that another vehicle crashed near our own and this delayed the tour, and yet the guide stayed behind the schedule, took amazing photos with us, accompanied us throughout the day and dedicated a lot to our experience. Besides very honest and friendly. Of those people you admire and worship for your good!
Ayub was fantastic and made the trip great

3.00The desert was very nice, but the city visit was missing the historic or informative side. Probably doing the dunes and the city tour was a compromise, finding a good driver for the dunes bashing with a city guide capabilities is not easy?

3.00...too expensive...not worth it...most of the time just sitting in the car, getting no information. Waste of time

Needed a better guide - not a substitute one

1.00Wish I could say I had a wonderful experience like the other reviews but this wasn’t it. Our guide mentioned to us that he was assigned by the Golden Adventures Qatar and doesn’t normally do this route. We spent the morning driving aimlessly around the city with little commentary on each of the sites (no history of Qatar, the significance of each location, etc.). Our guide was basically a driver and we had to rely on ChatGPT to give us the insights behind each location. The saving grace was the afternoon in the sand dunes / desert where the experience was interesting on its own. Again, our guide had little to offer - furthermore, he seemed very inexperienced driving in the desert and had to tailgate a friend of his for reference. His lack of experience showed when the car wobbled through the dunes - it was a miracle that no incident occurred. Here is what I think what happened: the tour operator oversold the tickets and started passing it onto random 3rd parties that resulted in this suboptimal experience. It’s a shame as I was looking forward to it after reading the glowing reviews. Be warned this could happen to you.
Wadood is the best!!!! Highly recommend

5.00We had a great experience with our guide, Wadood, in Qatar. He was extremely knowledgeable and shared a lot of interesting information about the culture, history, and local life. He was professional, friendly, and always happy to answer our questions. His guidance made our trip much more enjoyable and meaningful. I highly recommend Wadood to anyone visiting Qatar.
Fantastic tour and guide!

5.00Wadood was an amazing guide and provided an exceptional experience showing me all the highlights of Doha in the city and the desert. He was kind, very knowledgeable and accommodating. Riding over the sand dunes and to the beach was a highlight for me along with seeing the markets at night. Wadood’s also an excellent photographer to help document your entire experience! I would book another trip with him in an instant!
Wonderful Qatar experience with your guide wadood
