We had a very good tour guide named Abdul. He was very polite and funny. The tour was excellent. Thank u for all.
Thank you for the feedback
Was a great trip through the north of Katar with Mr Nawaz. He guided us to various places and always fulfilled our wishes. Would also recommend the trip for others.
We had a great time during this combo tour of North and West Qatar. Nawaz was an excellent guide and driver. He shared a lot of insights and the history of the archaeological sites. On our way we could also see the marvellous architecture of the various stadiums in Qatar. It was a comfortable journey even in the hot conditions. On our request, Nawaz dropped us to Souq Waqif at the end of the tour. Thank you!
This is a lovely tour of the outside of Doha, very historical and informative. Abdul was an amazing tour guide. He’s very helpful and friendly. Very happy to take photos and was very accommodating. I would recommended this tour to anyone visiting Doha. I was so impressed with Abdul that I booked another tour with him on the same day. Highlight of the tour for me was the West of Qatar ‘mushroom rocks’. Thank you to Abdul for making my birthday special 😊
Very nice tour, it covers most of main attraction points in the area, very convenient if you have a short visit to Qatar. Our tour guide was Abdul, he answered all our questions about the country and shared some information about sites we were visiting. Camel riders were the best 😁
Another amazing day with Abdul of Luxurious Travel!! Today’s tour was absolutely breathtaking and Abdul knew all the right angles and spots for photos. I was well taken care of throughout and he entire day and would recommend this tour for anyone who wants to see outside the city. I am so happy that I booked all of my days in Qatar with Luxurious Travel!
It was a wonderful view. I enjoyed it with a spirit of service. I would recommend it to my friends. Thank you very much.
From the planning stages, Luxurious Tourism's management was matter-of-fact, but, quick to reply and accommodating. There was some minor miscommunication, which led to a bit of confusion on the day of the tour. However, it was pretty quickly resolved and resulted in the serendipitous pairing of myself with driver/guide Faisal. Not only did we fill the hours of driving between sites and sights with great conversation, but, he was informative at each location, far beyond basic brochure talk. I saw everything I wanted to, got fabulous photos, and a permanent memory of a day that was enriching on numerous levels.
I had the best experience. I went solo with Abdul to north and west tour. I had fun. He was patient and professional. I will definitely recommend this trip.
Started our tour with atv ride, camel ride and then sunset along with sand boarding. Additionally, we did fantastic sand dunes with asim. He was co operative and friendly.
