Totally recommend a city tour with Saroj

We had a fantastic city tour of Doha today! Our guide, Saroj, was incredibly knowledgeable and made every stop interesting with stories about the history, culture and daily life of Qatar. We saw beautiful locations and learned so much we would never have discovered on our own. The tour was relaxed, well organised and very enjoyable, and all our questions were happily answered. We left feeling we truly understood the city rather than just seeing it. Highly recommended. AAA+++ thank you Saroj!

Doha City tour

Arsalan Mohammed, Our guide did an excellent job, even though we had booked the tour in Spanish and he conducted it in English, we had no communication problems. He explained everything very well and took his time to ensure we understood everything and didn't miss a thing.

Operator response

We are sorry about the unavailability of a Spanish our Spanish guide had to travel in an emergency and because of the cruise ship the other Spanish guides were already occupied for that time, hence we assigned your tour to Arsalan he is one of the best guides we have and he has hosted Spanish and Russian guests before and has done a great work previously as well, We are glad that you had a great time with him and thank you so much for your valuable feedback 💐
