I had a wonderful experience visiting Doha city and I was able to visit a lot of places in a very short time. Our guide Saleem was super accommodating as well with our additional requests. Would highly recommend this tour if you are short on time.
Was a nice experience to have a quick look at the main landmarks of Doha with Adnan. Quite relaxing and good enough for a quick overview!
Our guide Saleen and our tour was amaxing.
Trip was Excellent, tour guide was professional and experienced.
The tour was very varied and there were very interesting hotspots to see! Our guide Saleem was very nice and very familiar with the local conditions. Ideal if you don't have so much time but want to see a lot!
Saleem gave an excellent tour. He picked me up at my hotel and we headed out to see the sights. The National Museum was closed on Tuesdays so we had the option to go to the Islamic Museum . As a group we opted to spend more time at the Souq. We were glad to have some flexibility. Saleem knew all the spots for great pics and gave some history of the city. Just note for tourists, it is Ramadan and no restaurants are open during the day. So drink and eat before the tour. Then plan to visit again at night to experience the lively city!!
Saleem was an amazing tour guide. Humble and knowledgeable. Gave me dates to break my fast too!
I had a great day tour in Doha during my short transit. It was fun, well organised, and a really good way to see the main highlights in a limited time. Our guide, Saleem was friendly and professional and provided helpful background information about the places we visited. Overall, a very good experience and highly recommended.
Great quick tour seeing the key attractions of Doha. Akhtar was insightful, polite and giving us good recommendations.
We were traveling with Saleem and it all worked out great. Great tour with great guide. Highly recommended.
