Fabulous activity, very courteous and accommodating driver. Felt very safe with our driver, reliable and punctual. Visited notable spots in order to get a flavour of Doha from a comfortable vehicle. Highly recommend if you have a stopover or on a longer stay to get the layout of Doha which is an impressive city.

More like a USD$159 taxi ride for 4 hours from airport to national museum, Souq Waqif traditional market and Villagio shopping Mall (all of which are free entry). Stuck in traffic for a long time. No time to see the port (which was also free). Nice driver in Volkswagen SUV, but he was no tour guide. Not worth it at all.
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We apologize that your experience did not meet your expectations. We understand that traffic and limited time at the various locations affected your visit, and we are working to improve route planning and ensure drivers are better prepared to provide informative guidance. We value your input and hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back in the future, offering an experience more in line with your expectations. Thank you once again for your insights.
They were very accommodating with our schedule, picking us up at the airport, tour length and sights. Unfortunately, our expectation, based on other reviews, was a tour guide. What we got was a nice driver from Bangladesh whose knowledge was limited to the name of buildings. We had asked to go to the National Museum of Qatar. When we got there, we found out the museum was closed on Tuesdays. Noone thought to let us know that ahead of time. We drove around a bit, including a waterfront area we would come back to for a boat tour. So, in essence we saw the same place twice. Next we went to the Souq Waqif market. It was about 2 pm. Most of the shops don't open until 3 or 4 pm. Why was this not moved to later in our 6 hour tour? The driver felt it necessary to drive into every park and building area until we told him we did not need to see every nook & cranny. Finally, I had asked them to add a boat tour into our itinerary. They asked if we wanted a dinner cruise. It sounded good so the put that it. When the driver was dropping us off on the dock he did not know where we needed to go. The boat tour was lovely, starting before dusk and returning when all the city light were on. Dinner was a takeout meal they heated in a microwave and served in the takeout containers. We were the ONLY ones who had dinner which made it a bit awkward. After this we got back in the car and drove to Pearl Island and then Katara. The driver was willing to stop anywhere we wanted but with no guidance we just stayed in the car. Eventually we were so tired of riding around we just asked to go back to the airport.
Thank you for your valuable feedback. We sincerely apologize for the issues you encountered during your tour, including the lack of communication about the National Museum’s closure and the timing of your visit to Souq Waqif. We also regret that the driver was unable to provide the level of guidance you expected. Your comments regarding the boat tour and the repetitive nature of the locations visited are noted, and we will review our processes to ensure a more seamless experience for future guests. We appreciate your input and hope to have the opportunity to serve you better on your next visit.
Emithiyas was excellent. He made our experience in Qatar memorable. He took us to so many places and explained a lot of stuff to us.

Visited common tourist attractions around the city. Provided information and history regarding those locations. The tour guide was extremely helpful and respecting of everyone's time. We would definitely had not seen 90% of the things we did in such a short time if we had gone about any other option to tour the city.
