- 301patricioo0 contributionsGreat experience in DohaIt was good, he treated us correctly, Nowafi is a great tour guide, maybe we should ask for a little more time, while reserving, because 5 hours is a little rush. Also would recommend to stay a little bit longer in the market. Or skip some places that are just the foto, like the Italian part, good, but maybe a little waste of time. Nowafi, thank you very much, it was great to meet you.Written 22 December 2024
- 91DimitarD0 contributionsBeautiful Day in DohaFrom the very beginning- obtaining a quote, defining our agenda for out private tour, everything was great. Sawan was very quick to respond, and worked with us to create the best agenda for the time we had to see Doha. Purna met us at the airport upon arrival and showed us the city with all of the highlights we wanted to see and them more. Knew many facts, was very pleasant and just made our experience memorable. Took our pictures, made sure we saw all the sights in the best possible way - we were at the Royal Camel Guard when they were on the move before they took their place in front of the building. We saw some spectacular falcons and learned a lot about the history of Doha. We really enjoyed our time and absolutely recommend Doha Transit & Tours.Written 19 December 2024

Our tour guide Sajid Khan went an extra mile to make our experience unforgettable (he communicated via What's up, met us at the cruise port, was flexible in what we wanted to see). It was a very well organized, friendly, professional, accommodating and informative tour. Highly recommend (you will see all major sites of Qatar such as Katara cultural village, Pearl island, Souq Wagif, Lusail, inland sea with desert safari and more in the best company ever).Written 9 December 2024

This was a brilliant tour, well organised & very informative. We were picked up and dropped off at our hotel. Easy to book and the response back was quick once booked. Our tour guide Sam was great, very knowledgable about the history of Qatar and made the tour very interesting with his sense of humour, showing us the culture and gems of Qatar which we didn’t know existed. There was plenty of time to take pictures of all place’s visited and take in the vibrant colours and architecture of the city. We definitely learned a lot about the history & culture of the city from Sam than we would have if we had ventured on our own.

This was a comprehensive introduction to Doha for those like us who haven't visited before. I thought that 4 hours including 30 minute dhow ride on the harbour might have been a bit short, but our guide, Yam, managed to gives us a good look round at the various attractions in this compact city. Yam was certainly knowledgeable about Doha, and Qatar generally, and the history, which we found very interesting. Temperatures 40 - 45 degrees at this time of the year during the day so sun-protection clothing and a sun umbrella were worthwhile for the short excursions outside the air-conditioned vehicle.

This Tour was truly exceptional due to our tour guide Amar Shrestha. He made this tour memorable for us he went above and beyond to accommodate us on this trip. As this was our first trip to Doha he gave us so much information took us to different place we manage to do all the activities as well as shopping. I would recommend a private small group tour you receive all the attention no waiting for others when touring around. Amar literally treats you like Family this tour was great because of his kindness, honesty and patience. We are so grateful to him, I plan to go back to Doha with family in the future I know I can rely on Amar to take care of us. I’ll definitely be in touch!!

Sam’s communication from the start was great and he knew exactly when to anticipate that we’d get through customs and out the door. Our tour of Doha included all the highlights, and Sam’s knowledge of the history of the city and also current issues gave us interesting insight. It was very hot and he had plenty of water to offer in addition to making sure we were ok with the planned activities. Would highly recommend for a long layover or for someone who just wants to learn more about Doha.

Thoroughly recommend this tour, a great insight to Doha city. The Dhow boat trip is a bonus, especially if you can do it at sunset, as the city buildings lighting up in their array of colours is spectacular. Ali our driver was so knowledgeable and his itinerary was varied with a mix of drive by’s and walking tour. Well worth it and the 4 hour trip was full and very interesting.

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.

Yam was an excellent guide, spoke good English, was friendly & knowledgeable.
A really good driver, he seemed to glide through traffic hold ups especially around the Souq market.
We timed the Dhow boat cruise perfectly, day light when we left, dark on the return so saw the skyline in both light patterns.
Fully recommended for a quick overall glimpse of the city and then you can go back to the areas of specific interest to spend more time
We would 100% recommended the trip and Yam

Perfect way to kill 5 hours while transiting through Doha. The biggest plus is their timely communication and punctuality which made it a very stress free visit. Great opportunity to visit the highlights of Doha and even ask for a few personal photo spots along the way. Our guide also took us dinner to eat with locals which was some of the best we’ve had in the Middle East. Can’t recommend enough for a transit visit.

Doha offers a wide variety of city tour operators and guides, some of which are hit-or-miss, while others provide a fantastic deep dive into the city's culture, history, and daily life. Our tour with Ali definitely falls into the "excellent" category. He’s incredibly knowledgeable and has a gift for sharing his insights in an engaging and accessible way. Thanks to Ali, we explored parts of Doha we would have otherwise overlooked, and gained a genuine understanding of life in Qatar. He’s not only highly professional but also kind, accommodating, and truly cares about his guests’ experience. We highly recommend him! If you’re booking a tour, be sure to request Ali as your guide—you won’t regret it.
