My husband and I had the Doha City Tour with Bilal. We saw all the top sites in Doha, learned about the city, its history, and the culture. We saw some things we hadn’t seen on other tours. For example, in addition to the normal shops in every market, the Souq Waquif had a bird market, a falcon market, and the king’s horses and camels. We were especially surprised by the falcons. The Souq even had a falcon hospital. Bilal did a great job of showing us the different areas of Doha, each area nicer than the last. It is a beautiful city.

This was truly a memorable and amazing tour of Doha it's an absolute must-do and definitely time well spent. Amir, our tour guide, made us feel incredibly welcome from the start. He gave us a very thorough tour, with plenty of time for photos and quick souvenir stops. His knowledge and warm personality made the experience even better.
The city itself is beautiful, and seeing it through this tour was the perfect way to enjoy its highlights. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Doha.
A special thank you to Ali from Falcon Tours, truly the best host!

It was Eid the end of a holiday in Doha and everything from the National Museum to the Souk was closed so it was just like driving around in a taxi instead of a tour! My driver was not informative of history or culture and walked in front of me and was not overly friendly! I want a refund as site should have known that everything is closed on holidays as I did not know that
Please offer a refund to my card as I am in the hospitality business and always tell people when things are open and closed and driver was too preoccupied with next tide and even made my ride an hour earlier than scheduled too so pickup was at 9 am instead of 10 to accommodate him and I would have chosen a different time and date

Our gide Javid,shown us the city,made photos,and tell the story of the town.A 5 star experience, would recommend to anyone who is visiting Doha.

Javid our tour guide and driver showed us around the bird market and even showed us how to play the game of Dama at the souq. He took us to Katara and Pearl Island. He even suggested a traditional Arabic restaurant for lunch. We did feel a little rushed as he said he had another appointment in the afternoon at 3pm. We were picked up at 11am and were supposed to get dropped off at the Doha cruise terminal at 4pm. He dropped us off at 3pm. He could have also explained everything in greater detail. Some facts he stated were incorrect as well. Overall he is a very personable guide and a safe driver. We enjoyed the Doha city tour experience overall!

Recently I had a 6 hrs layover which left me with only 4 potential hours to explore Doha (that included allowing 2hrs time to go back through security) I love Time Hack Travel - maximizing a short opportunity to see another country or city, so I knew I wanted to get out and explore Doha! This layover however, being so constraint on my timeline, I knew I needed a guide to do it efficiently!
Ali was my guide and he was amazing start to finish. He messaged me on WhatsAPP a day before my arrival to confirm flight times etc...
The day off, we were also in communication and he arrived to pick me up less than 5 mins of me getting outside which was just after 6pm. He was polite, knowledgeable, personable and nice. I thoroughly enjoyed the 4 hrs with him. We saw everything the tour highlighted in the description and even stopped for a few extra photo opts because we had the time to do so. He helped me with pictures which was an added bonus! I would definitely recommend this tour and in particularly Ali for your next Doha visit!

Great tour of Doha with all the must see locations. Hassan is very knowledgeable about the city and is also an excellent photographer!
MonaLiza_S, Apr 2023
It was an awesome touring day with Ali! Not only was Ali super kind and sweet, he felt like a brother! He was on time when he picked us up, and he made sure my family was comfortable. I was with my son, and he was very patient! He toured us to so many cool places! I highly recommend this tour company if you’re ever in Doha, Qatar! Ask for Ali as he is one of the nicest tour guides there!

Javid was our Private Driver. He picked us up at the Cruiseport in Doha and took us on a 5-hour tour to several sightseeing points including, Downtown, Katra, The Pearl, Lusail area and Stadium AND Souk. He also stopped at various points for photo ops. He also suggested and took many of our photos and videos. It was a beautiful city and great experience.

We chose to book a private tour with Falcon instead of using the cruise ship's high priced excursions. We had an amazing time with our tour guide Ali (Alee). As a young man, he displayed a wealth of knowledge and has witnessed the city's growth & progression. He also knew what activities & sites to suggest to us. We would definitely do it again... Thanks Falcon Tours!!!

We had the most wonderful time with Ali Abdullah who took such great care of us. We learnt so much about the history of Qatar, he took us to special places around the Souq (which would have taken us hours to navigate alone), he made us laugh, and delivered way more than what we had bargained on. He knows where the best pics are taken from, shares interesting facts and provided a memorable day. We would gladly recommend this trip.

Our tour guide, Sadiq, was excellent in showing us his beautiful city!
Doha is much more scenic than I ever imagined with different areas of the city taking on its own look and appeal.
Lydia_C, Jan 2023
My guide was named Ali.
He is an excellent guide.
He gave very interesting and wonderful information.
His love for Qatar is the best way for the guide to show tourists.
I will highly recommend him..!!
Andrea_M, Oct 2022
Great tour. I loved that he went at our pace. It was very warm and pictures from the car were good from us many times, but he also stopped and gave us the option. That is why I like private tours, every person likes different things from a tour and he was able to meet our needs. He is very knowledgeable about the country, the people, customs, and history. We learned a lot. He also had cold water available, which was a nice touch. Overall Informative and friendly tour!
Rosalety_G, Jun 2022

Pick up as informed. Visiting the national museum and the Tea which the guide got us. In total it was a good experience.
Gandhi_S, Mar 2020
Our guide was very knowledgeable and courteous and we were given a rare insight to the history of Qatar. We were able to appreciate the beauty of the country and the dedication of all people there. Thank you Mr. Sambhu for a wonderful time.
Irvin_H, Nov 2019
The tour was great and fun. Spent the day exploring the city. We stopped at two museums, a few shopping areas, and sight see. We recommend if you are just getting to Doha. It will give me a chance to see areas that you can explore later in more detail. Thank you guys and continued growth

Très belle visite de Doha grâce à notre guide très disponible et sympathique. Il a bien voulu nous amener pour faire des photos de 2 stades de la coupe du monde et nous a aide à négocier les meilleurs prix pour nos achats au souk. Merci.

Viel gesehen in kurzer Zeit, sodass wir nun einen Überblick von Doha haben. Jetzt können wir auf eigene Faust die Schwerpunkte setzen und diese im Detail besuchen.
Maik_M, Nov 2021
Eine tolle Tour durch Doha. Unser Guide konnte uns viele neue Eindrücke vermitteln und auch zu den Hintergründen wusste er eine Menge zu berichten. Die Abholung klappte perfekt, man fühlte sich rundum wohl. Wir kommen gerne wieder.
