A wonderful private tour experience. - This was my first time to Doha and was I ever pleasantly surprised. It is such a clean city, almost sterile-like. The architecture is amazing, very colorful lighting at night. Our guide was Usman. He was very informative and took us to places we wouldn't have otherwise seen on our own. I highly recommend him as a guide. We were only three and it made for the perfect private tour. Thanks for enlightening us about Doha, Usman!

Great Experience - Our tour guide was Akhtar and he did a great job. We are here for a short time so we booked this tour to give us a good view of Doha in a small frame of time. It was great! We got to see the museum which was really big and we got to see other parts of Doha too. At the Souq Market Akhtar took a us to all the shops that sold the items we wanted to purchase and that saved us so much time be Overall it was a great experience!

Qatar... a beautiful place to visit - Tour around Doha city was great. So many architectural beauty to behold in the city, the souqs are beautiful. The blend of arabian and contemporary architectural thoughts were in amazing display. The malls were beautiful with awesome water displays in some that were breathe taking. The museum, pearl....were awesome sites. The most remarkable part for me and my family, was the extreme cleanliness and neatness of the people and the whole city. This perspective of the tour was made possible by Sajeed our amazing tour guide. He made the tour so interesting and his behaviour was outstanding. Thank you Sajeed and your team for making our visit to Qatar worth-the-while.
