Highly informative, fun layover Tour - highly recommended

5.00During our 8h daytime layover we had very knowledgeable and friendly guides who made us laugh and feel comfortable throughout. During the first half we got a great overview of the various parts of Doha City, the Corniche, Old Port, Gewan Island, souq waqif and more around the City - don't miss the falconry souq and nearby Falcon hospital. The second half of the day was spent in the desert where we had enough time to ride camels, drive ATVs or Buggies in the desert as extras, before continuing through the dunes to view the amazing 'inland sea'. I highly recommend Sadiq and his team. They are experts at creating flexible, well timed and paced tours to your taste and speed.
Dazzling, relaxing

5.00While I wasn't able to take the tour due to a change in flights due to weather, I wish to still provide a review as to acknowledge my positive dealings with them before and after the unforeseen cancellation. They are very responsive to their emails. Precise details were relayed to me as we got closer to the planned tour date. While they normally require 24 hours notice to cancel, the fact that my cancellation was due to the airline canceling my flight due to weather, afforded me a hassle-free refund which I received a mere few days later. So, while I can't attest to the tour experience, I can attest to the professionalism of the company. I hope to one day be able use their services in the future.
Great Late Night Tour for Layover

5.00Sadiq was a great guide on this layover tour. We had 8 hours between flights and he coordinated everything perfectly. We met him immediately after leaving terminal and had a very comfortable tour. It was after midnight so almost everything was closed, but we did have a nice tea in the souq. The tour gave an excellent overview of Doha which looks beautiful at night. Highly Recommended.
Great midnight layover tour

5.00I had an excellent first visit to Qatar with Sadiq during my 8hr layover. It was a midnight tour and it lasted three hours, hitting all the key tourist attractions of Qatar in detail (Souq Waqif, Katara Cultural Village and Pearl Island). I got to try a local drink and snack, take great pictures with the beautifully lit skyline and wander a little through uncrowded streets. The weather in December is perfect. Sadiq was an excellent tour guide and patiently answered all my questions about Qatar, the country, its culture and daily practices of the local/tourists. He has wonderful knowledge about Qatar and it made the tour all the more interesting for a first time visitor. The tour has piqued my interest and I would love to visit Qatar again! Thank you for your hospitality.
Great company for seeing Qatar!

5.00Wonderful tour by Sadiq! He was very well-informed, full of stats, and showed us many things we wouldn’t have seen otherwise. The falcon hospital was a particular highlight. Thank you Sadiq!

5.00Sadiq was such a warm and knowledgeable host for our day tour of Doha and the camel races! He was so accommodating and introduced us to the culture and charms of the city. We had numerous questions that he candidly answered. What an amazing city! Thank you for a great experience! We highly recommend!
Amazing day in Doha with Sadiq. We saw and learned so much throughout the 8 hours. He’s extremely knowledgeable.

5.00Sadiq was a wonderful driver/guide. We got an amazing overview of Doha and would never have found these places on our own. He is extremely knowledgeable and willing to share information and answer our many questions. The architecture here is amazing and learning about their culture first hand was great! We saw and experienced so much in our 8 hours together. Highly recommend a tour with Sadiq as your guide!
Great overnight layover tour.

5.00So we had an overnight layover (10 hours) and didn't want to stay in the airport. We booked this tour last minute before boarding our flight to Doha. Our guide was on time and waiting for use when we arrived. He was very knowledgeable and showed us an amazing amount of things for the three to four hours we were together. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who is willing to leave the airport during a long layover.
