Great 😊

Yam Gautam was our guide for the evening, and we had a wonderful time. The car was very clean and comfortable. He showed us all the important sights in Doha, and the dhow boat ride was a highlight. We also enjoyed a walking tour in some areas, and Yam kindly took plenty of photos for us. I highly recommend this tour, especially if you’re short on time. We had just two days in Doha, and this half-day tour was the perfect way to see the city’s main attractions.

Operator response

Thank you for your detailed feedback. We are delighted to hear that Mr. Yam Gautam provided a memorable experience with his guidance, attention to detail, and photography, making your half-day tour both enjoyable and efficient. Your recommendation is truly appreciated, and we look forward to welcoming you again on your next visit to Doha.

Excellent tour. Very Professional Guide

We had an excellent tour. Puskar, our guide, was very attentive and very knowledgeable on how Doha has developed and the future plans. We learnt a lot about Qatar. It was a very hot day and Puskar brought a lot of water and umbrellas for shade. In 4 hours we saw the best things to see in and around Doha; had a Dhow boat ride; and visited Souk Waqif and a beautiful mosque. There were many highlights.

We’re glad he ensured your comfort despite the heat by providing ample water and umbrellas.

We appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you back to explore more of Qatar soon. Kind regards, [Q Adventure and Transit Tours]
