  Awesome
This was a compact and informative tour and money well spent. We had 8 hours in Doha on our way to Thailand. We could have spent our time in the airport lounge but this was definitely more valuable. We were two adults with two teenage sons and our ten your old daughter. We were all engaged in learning about the history, royalty, culture, politics, traditions, religions, demographics, geography, topography, food and art and architecture of the people of Qatar. This was whilst being driven around in the comfort of an air conditioned Land Cruiser, with very timely stop offs for photos. Thanks to Arshad for organising and Sadiq for showing us this beautiful city. We now feel like we’ve had two proper holidays in one.

  Great Day Tour
Had a wonderful day tour of Doha. Started in the morning with a desert tour with Ibrahim, followed by a city tour with Lika. Both were very knowledgeable, forthcoming and friendly. Would highly recommend.

  Phenomenal!
The whole experience was honestly phenomenal. I had a stopover from midnight to 8am and was keen to get out but nervous as a solo. Booking with Arshad was easy and communication (via WhatsApp) was excellent. My guide was Ibrahim, a very knowledgeable and personable guy and I had a great time seeing all the essentials of Doho. He was my guide, driver and photographer lol! Even at 3am it was remarkably active with people out and about and food places open. Everywhere we went was clean and safe. We got back to the airport with heaps of time to spare and I had no issues getting airside. I cannot recommend the midnight tour more highly. Just do it!

  Midnight tour
I did the midnight tour here on a layover. While there wasn’t a lot open, the tour guide was awesome and I got to see the architecture of Doha. The skyline of the city was beautiful. It also was a lot cooler than I thought it would be. Would definitely recommend if you had 8 hours+ layover in Doha.

I would like to thank my tour guide faisal for an amazing day in the beautiful city of doha . His warm and friendly demeanor created a welcoming environment, allowing us to feel comfortable and engaged throughout the tour. We truly appreciate the extra efforts he made to ensure our questions were answered and our interests were catered too.Highly recommend faisal to anyone visiting Doha in future.

  Great Tour Book it!
Lika and her husband Arshad were such great tour guides. It truly feels like you’re visiting lifelong friends catching up as you drive around some of the spectacular sites of Qatar. Although it’s a more intimate and informal setting, the tour itself is very informative and you can just feel the love they have for this city and the love they have for sharing it with others. The tour includes a walk through the marketplace if you’re interested and that was such a treat. I am not a fan of falafels but my goodness, they took us to a place where the falafels were so fresh and delicious! We also went to a tea shop and although it was almost 2am, I was able to grab some souvenirs along the way to bring back home. They honestly make me want to come back just to hang out and see even more of Qatar. If you are traveling through Doha, as lovely as the airport is, I strongly recommend booking this tour (midnight or daytime) as soon as you have your itinerary. We were late to the party and only found out about this tour as we were landing in Doha so we booked ours very last minute. Nevertheless they were surprisingly available and tailored the tour around our interests which was very thoughtful and sweet of them. Checking back into the airport is also a very smooth process; it took us less than 15 minutes to get back to our gate. All in all the experience was fabulous, the city is truly a marvel and I look forward to returning so I can catch up with Lika and Arshad again in the future.

  Great after midnight tour
First of all, what about a tour that can entertain you after midnight? That was really rare to find one. We arrived at 1am and Arshad made an effort to bring 2cars for our family of 7 even 1car should be enough. Our comfort for this tour was his top concern. With Arshad and his friend, he really treated us like friends, welcomed us with Karak Tea (it was really nice) and brought us to tour the city. Our tour was customised as per our requirement. His knowledge about Qatar also very impressive. Along the way he explained everything we wanted to know about this lovely country and sometimes slipped to others conversation as well. Likea friend. As it was midnight most of the attractions were closed but we still enjoyed it like I told Arshad (he was concerned about this)… we got what we expected. Owh ya the price also for me worth it… just reach him and I bet you will be satisfied. Really recommended!! Good job Arshad and friend (sorry I forgot his name)

Our tour guide, Lika, and her husband Arshad were a great team! Lika shared interesting fun tid bits ya you cannot read about and was a wealth of information on Qatars history and sites. A very personable, unique approach. She answered all our questions and was very patient. Arshad was kind enough to drop us off at a fav restaurant of his and Likas.. Dee-lish!! Thank you!

  Unique experience
Our tour guide, Lika, was fantastic she shared a wealth of information and it wasn’t stuff you could find out on your own. A very unique approach to sharing about sites and culture that captivated us. She answered all our questions and was very patient. We saw some great sites, learned and tasted some of the best parts that Doha has to offer.

  Highly recommend for solo or even group travelers
I had the best time on this tour! The company owners are super nice and were with me for part of the tour. I felt like I made lifelong friends. If you are a woman traveling alone like me, I highly recommend. Very safe and they will create the tour you want custom for you if you are looking to book a private tour. I had a long layover and couldn't think of a better way to spend my time.
