4 hour getaway to view Doha - We had a 7 hour layover in Doha so we decided to take a tour. Balil, our guide, picked us up right outside the airport on schedule and promised to have us back in time for our departing flight to New York. He took us on a 4 hour tour. It was great. He showed us all the important landmarks and neighborhoods in old Doha and in the new part of the city. The heat and humidity were oppressive even at night so his comfortable air conditioned vehicle was most appreciated. We did walk a bit in the sook, the open air market, for a real taste of Doha.
Overall the experience was terrific. Balil is most pleasant, speaks perfect English and knows Doha. Highly recommend the tour and Balil!

Thank you so much Ali! - We had an unforgettable experience in Doha, thanks to our amazing guide Ali! From the moment we started our tour, we were impressed by the depth of knowledge and passion he had for the city. He took us to some truly remarkable spots that we would have never found on our own, and his patience and thoroughness made the whole experience even more enjoyable. He was incredibly accommodating, taking the time to answer all of our questions and ensure we had the best possible experience at each location. We couldn't have asked for a better guide – he truly went above and beyond our expectations!

Magic in Doha - We had an amazing tour with Bilal. We were exhausted from our 15 hour flight and had a 10 hour layover. Bilal introduced us to this magical city, Doha, Qatar. Bilal was charming, informative and a superlative host. Don’t miss this opportunity

Amazing tour well worth doing - This was a fantastic tour. I had 12 hours layover at the airport so decided to explore Doha...I was a woman travelling alone so was a bit sceptical but from the moment I booked, Ali made contact and made me feel very safe. Collection from the airport was seamless and the tour was exceptional. Travelling to the mosque and all around the city was so interesting and we finished off at the souk which was a cultural delight. I highly recommend this tour and Ali to anyone wanting to experience the true culture of Doha!

Unforgettable tour of Doha with Ali - We had an amazing introductory tour of Doha with Ali. He met us at the airport on arrival. Communication through WhatsApp was excellent. He drove us to the Market where he walked us through the shops narrating the local history and culture, introducing us to vendors and allowing us to try various treats. Our dinner was outstanding - we asked him to bring us to a traditional kabob place he frequently enjoys and we convinced Ali to join us for dinner - the naan and hummus were a traditional Lebanese recipe and was delicious. He brought us all over Doha, we visited the traditional cultural center, a gorgeous Greek inspired amphitheater where he was encouraged us to sing and listen to the ponderous acoustics, a beautiful mosque, Pearl Island and an area known as little Venice. In four hours we saw much and loved our time with Ali!! So grateful for these memories. We would recommend him as a guide to anyone who travels to Doha. Thank you Ali!!
