5.00The guide Amer had a high energy and was very kind. Learned a lot about the local culture and it was very practical and flexible in terms of what we wanted to do the most, totally recommend. Best way to know the city mixing local and touristic lens.

5.00A little bit of everything of Kuwait in a few hours. City and desert. A nice experience to get a grip of Kuwait in a short time.
Great Way to See Kuwait

5.00Our tour guide, Walied, did a great job showing us the sights of Kuwait. We were able to see the Grand Mosque of Kuwait, several museums, and the Kuwaiti desert all in one day. Walied also seamlessly arranged a visit requested by us to an additional mosque we were interested in. We highly recommend Walied and his excellent tour.

4.00It was a good opportunity to get orientated to Kuwait City and a few of its museums. The day ended with an opportunity to eat dinner and shop in the souk.
Horrific Experience!!!!

1.00ABSOLUTE WORST EXPERIENCE! BEWARE AND DONT BOOK!! We booked for 8am and no one showed. Contacted Viator and they said operator told them it’s too early they will arrive at 9:30. So why was the 8am slot available in the first place?? 9:30am no one shows up. Contact them again and they said they are too busy and will just cancel. We totally wasted hours and leaving Kuwait today. So disappointed and they should be banned from Viator

5.00A very nice day spent in Kuwait city. The guide did a good job, answering all my questions and showing the diversity of the city.
Great city tour with Walid!

5.00We were in Kuwait with a business club of 13 people from the Netherlands. We booked a city tour with Walid. He was flexible as our flight in was delayed and we had a great tour through the highlights of Kuwait City with the mini van. Walid especially had great feeling of where to stay a bit longer, and where to speed up a little and his English is very understandable. You see all the highlight of Kuwait City in half a day and I can fully recommend Walids tour!
Simply awesome😊

5.00Walid is a great guide, patience, he really wanted us to enjoy the tour. Forget about rushing us, he insisted if we needed more time at each location. He’s knowledgeable. Overall an amazing day where I learnt a lot about Kuwait, its history. The date & Arabian. Coffee at one of the stops were a nice touch. Thank you !!
Last minute tour cancelled by operator and refund unclear

1.00I booked this tour and payment was made. At the 11th hour but was cancelled with no other options provided. On the cancellation email it had a button to click to initiate refund process but it just went to the tour information page. I’ve then sent an email to The to operator and no response. I’ve also sent a message to Viator customer service who saved they have contacted the operator. Very unprofessional
