City Tour - Great city tour. Vehicle had good air conditioning and plenty of room. We enjoyed seeing the camels being exercised, the Souq and Falcons. Our Dhow boat ride gave an interesting view of the city from the water. We were grateful for the air-conditioned Vehicle as the day was very hot and we visited the other destinations from the Vehicle with quick walks for short periods of time Ali looked after us well and his English was very good so we could have good conversation about the sights he was showing us.

Informative afternoon - Our guide Ali was really informative. We enjoyed the drive around Doha and found the the Souk walk and the Dhow boat the best part. Especially the cruise at sunset with lots of photo opportunities.

Layover Tour of Doha - We had a great long layover excursion with Sam! He picked us up from the airport, and he was communicative and flexible when it took a little longer than expected to get through customs. Given the time we landed (around 4:30pm but we didn't get out until 6:30pm), we started by driving through Al Corniche and walking through the Katara Cultural Village, which was very nice and a good spot for photos! Sam had us walk through an air conditioned outside street by the Galeries Lafayette, which was so cool and unbelievable! The highlight was definitely the boat ride, where we got stunning pictures of the skyline and saw the optical illusion of the World Cup figure 8. Sam was great in offering to take photos of our group and also of just my husband and I. He likes to joke around and is friendly. You can tell he loves where he lives even though he's from Nepal. He also took us to a restaurant for dinner at the very end at the Souq Waqif because we had requested this. We were starving after a 14-hour flight and had a 5-hour flight ahead of us. He made sure the restaurant had vegetarian accommodations for me, which was very appreciated. I chose this tour over others because I had read about pushy tour guides insisting on a 5-star review at the end of the tour. Sam did not do this, and we were happy about it! He was very knowledgeable and passionate about what he does. He dropped us off at the airport and provided helpful information, as well. All in all, I felt I had a thorough and pleasant experience in Doha because of this tour.

Great city experience and insight into Doha - Sam was a fantastic guide who gave us lots of information and a variety of great tourist spots including a great ice cream stop We would highly recommend Sam he was very knowledgeable of the city and surrounding area. We could not have asked for more. We went from a market to high end shopping centre and lots of photo stops. Very safe driver and very prompt.

Informative - Sam was on time for the start and went beyond the 4 hrs allocated. He was flexible and adapted the tour so we didn't see things we had already visited. We were able ti stop and explore a little and Sam provided insights into Doha's history and aspects of life in Doha. We were very satisfied with the tour.

Doha tour - Most memorable part was the boat ride, falcons and the mosque. The only thing I'd say need to be alot better at is giving the customer time to shop around for 15 20 min alone in the souk market and abit less with the information as most parts was tooo informative and repetative which can cuase customers to loose focus, too much to digest need the information to be balanced 😅 but appart from that it was a good day.
