Great time in Doha.

Nitesh was fantastic. Before we even left , he was in contact so we knew exactly where to meet him. This was the start of an entertaining, educational, stress-free day. Nitesh was knowledgeable and all our questions were ably answered. Our comfort and safety was important to him. Most of all, he was fun and a pleasure to spend the day with.

Excellent

Well worth doing. Ali was a brilliant tour guide, very knowledgable. We visited a number of the top sights and had an opportunity to walk around and take photos. Ali picked us up from the airport and returned us 4 hours later. Doha is incredible, the architecture is stunning and has many innovative ideas.
