Very nice 4.5 hour Doha guided tour with our excellent and very knowledgeable guide Ali. RECOMMENDED!
Our guide Asif was perfect .Very good information, careful and very helpful. A must to do at the beginning of your trip in Qatar .
First, our tour guide Asif was great. This review has no bearing on his commentary. However, I can’t recommend this tour. Lusail and Pearl Island consisted of driving around with two very short photo stops. The 30 minutes for Corniche was non existent. The 30 minute boat ride we felt was a waste of our time (it would have been much better at night with the city lights present). And lastly, the 90 minutes at the souq? Try 35 minutes of simply walking through with zero time for anyone to actually stop and look at anything or support the locals by actually purchasing something. Given how cheap Ubers are in Qatar I’d highly suggest simply visiting the areas of interest on your own.
Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed feedback. We’re very pleased to hear your kind words about Asif—he truly takes pride in providing an engaging and informative experience, and we’ll be sure to pass along your compliments. We’re sorry to learn that certain aspects of the tour did not meet your expectations. Your comments regarding the timing at each location, the boat ride experience, and the souq visit are valuable and help us identify areas where we can improve our scheduling and overall guest experience. We continually review our itineraries to ensure they offer the best balance between sightseeing, exploration, and relaxation.

Asif was an extraordinary tour guide who told us multiple times that his job was to make sure we had a great experience! And we did because of our guide. Asif was very flexible about the locations we toured. Our tour was scheduled for half a day Friday, we did not realize that most things were closed because it would was a day of prayers. He explained it to us and suggested that we break the tour unto two mornings so we were able to see more of Doha. He also suggested places to go that were not on the tour. He took us to the Msheireb or the three rooms which gave us the history of Qatar and the history of slavery. The dhow boat cruise was short, but gave us a beautiful panaromic view of the city. There is so much more that we saw and learned about Doha. He is a guide not to be missed.

We're glad the split-morning arrangement allowed you to see more of the city and that the additional recommendation added value to your visit. Your kind words means a lot to us, and we'll be sure to share your kinds to Mr Asif.
This trip was more than we expected & our guide Nitesh went above and beyond to ensure we were happy. We didn’t realise that we were the only people on this trip, so we had a personal guide, car and boat for our whole trip! We were taken to see popular tourist spots at Katara and the Pearl before heading to Souq Waqif night market. We were glad our guide stayed with us here because we would have easily got lost. Next we headed to the Corniche where we boarded our boat for a short cruise. This was wonderful and we got some fabulous photographs. Our guide took photos for us throughout the whole trip, helping to capture this lovely memory. This trip is highly recommended & Nitesh was a fabulous guide from start to finish.
Thank you very much for your detailed and Thoughtful Feedback. We're delighted to hear that your experience exceeded expectations and that Nitesh went the extra mile to make your tour truly special. its wonderful to know you enjoyed the personalized service, sightseeing at katara, the pearl, and Souq Waqif, as well as the relaxing corniche cruise. We're especially pleased that Nitesh's assistance helped capture such memorable moments for you. your kind words and high recommendation mean a great deal to us, and we look forward to welcoming you again for another exceptional experiences.
I opted to do a personal tour. My guide 'Mr Nitesh' was excellent. He was extremely courteous & very knowledgeable. The tour was well paced. It was easy walking around the markets & villages while the drive between places was also good. The boat ride was definitely worth doing, short & sweet, but you get to see the famous city overall. I did this as a layover & was picked up & dropped off at the airport. I really felt I got a good overview of Doha. I would definitely recommend this. Side note, there's plenty of opportunities for bathroom breaks & to purchase drinks. I did get the complimentary water. I also got a souvenir at the markets. I paid using my visa card & had no cash.
Thank you for your wonderful feedback. We're glad to hear that you enjoyed your tour with Mr. Nitesh. It's great to know you had a comfortable experience and a good overview of Doha during your layover and we appreciate your recommendation. We'll be sure to share your kind words with Mr. Nitesh.
I have enjoyed the tour a lot, very well organized and with the best highlights of Doha. The city is very nice and I had a great guide, Mobi. He explained everything in great detail and made this day unforgettable.
Thank you for your kind feedback. We're glad to hear you had such a great time exploring Doha. It's wonderful that you enjoyed the city's highlights and that Mubi helped make the day unforgettable. We'll be sure to share your kind words with him.
