The tour program was comprehensive, covering different aspects of Kuwait City and the desert. Unfortunately, due to the preparations for Ramadan, the Mosque and the Museum were closed. Nevertheless the guide gave us good information about other sites that we visited

We had a very good time during our tour of Kuwait.

I booked this tour completely last minute, but our guide responded promotly and was very communicative. Thanks to this tour we spent our long layover in Kuwait in a fun way.

The tour was amazing! I had booked a full-day tour, but unfortunately the car broke down and we could only start in the afternoon. Since I was passing through Kuwait again a few days later, my guide Walid Amer picked me up directly from the airport and even let me join that tour complimentary. Walid showed us so many cool and interesting places. We explored Kuwait City with its museums and markets, but also went outside the city into the desert, where we could pet camels and explore abandoned places. I can 100% recommend this tour, and especially Walid. Communication via WhatsApp was fantastic from start to finish.
Thank you for sharing your experience! We’re glad we could turn an unexpected situation into a seamless and memorable tour. Walid is dedicated to going the extra mile, whether exploring Kuwait City’s museums and markets or venturing into the desert for camels and abandoned sites. We’re thrilled you enjoyed the flexibility, personal attention, and communication throughout your journey.

The guide did not contact me, when I contacted him the night before he told me that the excursion would only be half a day. I asked him to cancel, which he did after various teetering, and I arranged otherwise, however I strongly advise against this person.
Thank you for your review, and we are sorry for the cancellation. Our tours have limited availability because we focus on high-quality experiences with detailed explanations and personal service. This is why all the guests who join our tours leave 5-star reviews. Due to high demand, we can sometimes be fully booked and unable to accept additional reservations. In such cases, we prefer to cancel rather than provide a tour that does not meet our standards. Please don’t worry about the payment. Your refund is guaranteed and will be processed directly by Viator back to your original payment method. We sincerely apologize to guests who could not join us and kindly recommend booking as early as possible in the future. Thank you for your understanding.
Had an amazing time! The tour was fantastic and tailored to those of us on the trip. Would absolutely recommend, especially if you are there for just a short time.

We truly appreciate the recommendation and look forward to welcoming more travelers looking for the best tours in Kuwait, whether for a short visit or a full multi-day experience.
The operator cancelled this tour but failed to notify me proactively. I had to contact him myself, which I did the day before the tour soon after landing into Kuwait just to be sure, which I normally do when I book tours and was repeatedly assured the tour would proceed despite a “car breakdown,” even shortly before start time on the day of the tour. What I could not understand is when he knew the car had broken down one day before, why was he trying to fix it on the morning of the tour. My tour was scheduled to begin at 10am. Anyway, this violates basic reliability even though the operator apologized which actually did not solve anything for me. Not recommended if you have just a day in Kuwait like a short layover or stopover in the city like I did. Very very disappointing indeed. Even the Viator agent who was polite and apologetic could not confirm anything and only offered a full refund which I had no choice but to accept which resulted in a complete breakdown of my plan to see Kuwait. Still waiting for a full refund as promised and at least some kind of compensation or proactive gesture of goodwill for my next booking on Viator in the event I decide to book through Viator.
