Doha City Tour e Dhow Boat Cruise (Privado / Compartilhado)

Wow asif was so fun. We had a layover at the airport and he picked us up and dropped us off and from the second we got in the car it was jokes and smiles. He had lived in Qatar for 17 years with his family and was incredible honest, proud, and enthusiastic about the city of Doha and it really just felt like we were on a tour around the city with a friend. We ended up in "his favourite spots" and he showed us places he enjoyed coming with his friends, we met some of them to play some games and see some Falcons.

We had a wonderful guide - Sam knew so much and his knowledge was amazing - he also ensured we had times to cool off as it was really hot, I recommend this you’re - the boat ride was lovely and overall we loved it - do it!

We had an excellent guide in Sam. He knew a lot of the history of Doha/Qatar and great local knowledge and connections which enabled us to experience the best of Doha.

Our guide Asif was great! We saw so much of the city and Asif provided great information throughout. The vehicle was cool and comfortable and Asif made sure we stayed in the shade where possible. Great tour!

Shambu was amazing and very knowledgeable. We all had a great time and learned a lot about Qatar. He was very helpful and accommodating.

Fantastic tour from start to finish! Sam was an outstanding guide—knowledgeable, funny, and engaging. Everything was perfectly organised, from the hotel pickup to the well-paced itinerary. We had an amazing experience and would highly recommend Doha Transit and Tours, especially Sam. A must-do if you’re visiting Doha!

I deployed to Doha in 2004 and we specifically stopped here for 22 hours using a great Q-suite award booking on our way to a cruise so my husband could see where I spent several months. Because we landed at 5 pm I thought my only option would be Ubering to a souq or mall for a few hours, with me narrating what little I could remember of the area. I never thought I’d find a night tour but I’m so glad I did – with departures as late as 10 pm directly from the airport, or your hotel! Though obviously night time in the summer is slightly more comfortable and better for tours, I never imagined companies would actually offer late night tours. Both my husband and I really loved this 5-star private tour Sam provided from 8:45 pm to 1:30 am! Sam was so accommodating. I booked it last minute, at 6:30 pm, after struggling to figure out how we would get to one of the pre-populated departure hotels, not finding ours, and then seeing the option “my hotel is not listed” and finally entering my own hotel. Before that I was planning to walk 19 minutes to the Hilton Pearl in 100+ degrees. I’m so glad I was able to enter my own hotel, St Regis Pearl, and avoid that uncomfortable walk. Sam responded right away to confirm the pick-up location, and I asked if we could leave a little earlier than the designated time. Since he was available, he happily obliged and our scheduled 9 pm tour started early. Our first stop was the Souq Waqif where we were surprised to see 50+ royal camels! This was the first time my husband had seen so many camels and he took lots of pictures. Even at night the pictures came out great. Then we went straight to one of the Falcon souqs and were able to pet and be a perch for a beautiful white gyr falcon! I had not seen this souq 22 years ago and had only read about them days before, and figured these would only be open during the day. Delightfully Sam proved me wrong, showing us camels and falcons in the first 2 stops of our tour; these were true highlights of the evening and we could have ended the trip right there fully satisfied! But Sam had more to show us. We visited more souqs, then made several photo stops along the Corniche visiting the palace, dhow marina, Museum of Islamic Art area, Pearl monument, FIFA sculpture, skyline viewpoints, the Villagio Mall, beautiful public art, the Katara cultural center (not to be missed!), spectacular architecture, Raffles, Lusail, and The Pearl. Along the way Sam impressed us with his extensive knowledge of the area, culture, history, and current events. We saw so much in these few hours we decided there was no need to go out in the heat the next morning to see anything else. We left with a great appreciation for how Qatar’s recently passed leader shaped the country and the city into the safe, modern, beautiful, and progressive place that it is today. I would not hesitate to return, despite world events deterring others. Words cannot adequately express how much Sam, this tour, and Doha exceeded our expectations.

This review is late in coming but very important. We hired Asif for a day in Doha. He arrived absolutely on the stroke of the hour, his car was spotless and he was dressed professionally., His English is very good . He had a keen sense of what we liked and what we could skip and showed us a fabulous day. We were so impressed that we wanted to hire him for another day. We hated to say goodbye at the end. This man is an asset to his country. You cannot go wrong hiring him! I hope tourism picks up so we don't lose this valuable guide to some other profession.

Our guide Mr. Asif was extremely courteous, very helpful and generally a pleasure to be around. He was very knowledgeable and was able to tell us about the history and the culture of Qatar in a lot of detail. Mr. Asif made every effort to accommodate us (a family of 4 with young children), including showing us amazing flexibility with making it a bespoke tour for us. We would highly recommend Mr. Asif to everyone!

Asif has great historical knowledge of Qatar and Doha. Excellent driving and superb guidance. I thoroughly enjoyed the attractions and interesting facts and a game of Dama. I will visit and stay in Doha again
