If you come in summer, an evening tour would be better. 4pm is ideal. The driver was very knowledgeable about the culture and way of the people. He took some really good pictures of us
Excellent tour covering main attractions of Doha

Our tour guide Yam was fantastic - super friendly, knowledgeable and had great humor! We saw much of the city with a fantastic Dhow trip and a fascinating tour of the Souq Wagif, including the falcon hospital. We decided to take the morning tour which meant that much of the souq was closed, so if you’re looking to take this one, I’d recommend to start at 1500 and then you’ll get the sunset when the city really comes alive! Definitely a recommended tour!

We missed our connecting flight home so had to spend an extra day in Doha. A friend booked our private tour and we are very grateful she did. Our tour guide Yam was very friendly and showed us around the main parts of Doha and he was very knowledgeable about the city. Would highly recommend if you’re looking for an informative, quick and fast tour of the city. Thank you Yam for the awesome experience

This was a fantastic experience. Puskar made every possible effort to make the trip very enjoyable. He is very knowledgable and professional. He stopped at the main landmarks in Doha, explained about Qatar history, was happy to answer all questions and even offered to take photos! The bloat trip at the end was cherry on a cake. If you are staying on Doha short time, this os a must do attraction and Puskar is your guide!

as a family from Poland, we had an exotic holiday in Qatar with this agency. The Professional guide gave us every detail possible about the places and surroundings during the trip. Desert was something we had seen only in movies and in photos. We got to experience that at a reasonable price. We are taking a wonderful memory home from Qatar.
