The Qatar City tour was amazing, we saw alot of beautiful architectural structures, and its cultural heritage. We started by visiting the wadif souq. Where we saw the falcon souq, pets market , camels stand and othe relaxation spots. From there we drove through the kings office to have our boat cruise. We saw the circle statue that looked like 8 which we were told signifies the number of stadiums in Qatar. We also visited the Katari Village where we saw the blue mosque desiged by Turkish women, the theatre that looks like the roman coliseum with marbles from Italy.. we then walked through to the Lafayett Mall with lots of designer shops..we drove through the ministry of interior seeing a whole lot of embassies with their flags on the roof top.. From there we proceeded to Pearl Island and the candy houses that looked like we were in Venice. It was such an amazing experience and we learnt alot about the country's history and how it became this developed. Thank you Mr Yam for such an educative time in Qatar

We decided to book tour and explore how its looks like, the guide Yam picked us from airport and take us to the Doha city, It was amazing and one of the best urban planning in this world. We were visited Suk, Katara and did Dhow boat cruise which was amazing experience. Recommend 100% and rate definitely 5 star tour and guide

Great tour with guide Puskar. Better, we booked this tour, which was a great decision for us. We saw many places in Doha City, which was amazing and the guide explained Puskar. It's hard for us to understand English, but he explained very slowly and used the translation app, which was great and easy to understand. Good service and great explanation. We recommend 100% for all travelers. Rated 10/10 to beat Mr. Puskar and Q adventure and transit tours to guide 👍👍👍
