Beautiful experience
Our City tour was beyond expectations.We had booked for jet ski and upon learning that it couldn’t be possible I was dissapointed and chose the city tour as a replacement but with low expectations. But what a surprise!!! It was actually a very good idea.Our guide Suliman Khan was absolutely amazing.Very knowledgeable of places and also of spot for pictures.We didn’t want the tour to end.If we had to do it again we would with the same guide.I highly recommend.Also he managed to get the two teenagers I was traveling with interested in the history!They barely looked at their phones!Well done Suliman!

Great visit. A must do activity in Doha!

Great local tour with a kind tour guide
Rizwan is a very kind and knowledgeable local guide, who took us to all the main attractions. Despite the temperatures, it is a very doable tour as you’ll spend a good part driving in a comfortable AC car and the rest walking in places that don’t feel too hot. Totally recommended when you have limited time in Doha

This agency is a scam
This is a scam, booked a procure tour but we have 6 and the agency disappeared with no replies. Driver is not a guide. No explanation and merely reading off Wikipedia. Please book from other agencies. We have photos to prove that we were being scammed.
Q

Boat Ride
The Dhow ride was great, especially at sunset. Adil made the whole experience just amazing. Definitely recommend booking your trip with Oryx and ask them for Adil.

Amazing time passed during a long layover
We had an amazing time. Our guide Zia was very helpful, very friendly, and assisted us with everything we needed. The safari drive was super fun, camels were a delight haha. Boogie riding was definitely an experience worth having.
