Great tour guide - Our tour guide Haithem picked us up from our hotel and gave us a tour of Doha. His car was clean. He was very patient, knowledgeable and friendly. Thanks to Haithem, we saw and experienced Doha, and love it there. Haithem knew his historical facts and was able to explain it us. He showed us beautiful Doha and we appreciate the time he took with us, thank you.

Recommendation for Tour Guide Faisal Khan - We really enjoyed our 4 hour private tour with our guide Faisal Khan. He picked us up on time from our hotel, was extremely knowledgeable about the history of Qatar along with some interesting fun facts, and was very warm and genuine throughout the tour. We also got treated to some local karak chai and thoroughly enjoyed our time. Highly recommend Faisal to anyone looking to experience Qatar from a local.

Jlo is THE best tour guide I've experienced in dozens of tours around the world - What a wonderful experience we had visiting Doha, with Jlo showing not just the obvious, but also the surprising and unseen as we walked and drove around Doha for a 4 hour morning tour. We both highly enjoyed the city, the tour, the sights and sounds of this fascinating city. Highly recommend this tour to anyone.

OMG I HAD THE BEST TIME!!!! - My son and I went to DOHA. We booked QIT through our hotel. Little did we know, we would have the time of our lives. Our tour guide was Abid. He was extremely knowledgeable and pointed out all kinds of interesting facts about Doha. Then we went sand surfing. WHAT AN EXPERIENCE! Exhilarating! Who would have known that a Land Cruiser could surf on sand? He was even nice enough to help a driver whose car was stuck in the sand. He took pics of us at every stop. Sand dunes. Inland sea. Camel ride. He sent them via WhatsApp. I am telling all my friends in the US to visit DOHA and definitely plan a Safari Trip with QIT. Maybe they will be so lucky to have Abid as their tour guide.

Private tour - It was a very fun desert tour! The tour guide took photos for us and it was a great experience. I want to come again! It was early in the morning so we could see the sunrise and it was a great experience. Thank you very much. I want to come again when I come to Qatar.
