I had a great experience on this tour. Akhtar was nice and knowledgeable. He answer all our questions and drove very safely. If you ever come to DOHA for a long layover book with them and ask for Akhtar.

The experience was delightful, especially at night. You get to witness the city’s vibrant lights and stunning architecture. Our guide, Saleem, was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable about Qatar and its rich history. Conveniently, the tour included pick-up and drop-off to our hotel, making the entire experience hassle-free. I highly recommend this tour!

This was an excellent tour. There is so much to see so set your expectations that Doha is 4 hours will feel quick. Our guide Saleem was fantastic!! Very knowledgeable about the city and answered all our questions beautifully. When doing a city tour be prepared to ask questions. The more to talk and communicate what is important to you, the better time you will have. We had an incredible time. The Dhow boat was lovely and quiet. We liked the relaxing journey across the bay and enjoyed taking pictures of the skyline. This is not a “we’re here to entertain you” boat ride. It is calm and peaceful. The captains did not talk much but we welcomed it. We loved our time in Doha.
