We were a group of 5. Me and my teenage and adult children. The guide was friendly, however I expected more personal involvement form the guide than just being a driver of the car who tells you names of the buildings. I could have rent an Uber for this as well.
We were driven through the major parts of Doha and let out of the car to walk around. The guide never came with us or explained anything. He was just waiting in the car for us to return back. The tour ended after 3 hours and not four (which we paid for) as we did the Souq Waqif at the end. He dropped us there pointed out a restaurant we should go, that was it. No stories, no explanation not accompanying us ... . It felt like he is doing us a favor driving us around. He also only spoke to me, never addressing my kids. Rethinking all that, giving 3 stars is actually a lot. This could have been easily done so much better with more personal touch.

We had a great time with Ibrahim. He brought us all around the city and stopped at perfect locations for pictures. He gave us so much historical and cultural information as well. We were even able to visit a mosque and learned about that as well. He also gave us great recommendations for dinner in souq wakif and tips for haggling in the souq that were spot on and a highlight of the day. Highly recommend this tour.

Great guide!!! Already have recommended this tour to some friends traveling here next week. A beautiful city worth seeing.

We had a fabulous time learning about Doha! The tour is lead by a couple who are extremely kind and informative. We laughed, learned so much, and saw much of Doha in just 4 hours during our layover (they were also very timely- making it not stressful for our next flight)! Highly recommend booking! Hope to book future tours with them!

We had a 7 hour layover in Doha and this was the perfect trip to see the highlights of Doha. Lika and her husband picked us up at the airport and took my family and I on a 4 hour tour. The spice market was a highlight along with going into the falcon shop. The night is the best time to visit as everyone is out at that time of the day. Definitely would recommend.
Response from Host, Jul 2022
Thank you Anthony ! We are glad you enjoyed your time with us, as we said you can't count country as visited unless you get out of the airport , we are glad you did ! Wishing you and your family great vacation

If you take one tour on your next/first visit to Doha, make it this one! Lika and Arshad did an exceptional job showing us around the city and immersing us in it's unique culture. The sights and experiences we had were amazing, visiting the market, sampling local food, and seeing all the sights Doha has to offer. Thanks to their organization and extensive knowledge of the city, we were able to fit them all in just a few hours, it would have taken days if we tried on our own.
Both Lika and Arshad are extremely friendly and as other reviewers have remarked, it was much more like taking a tour with friends then with a tour guide. I cannot recommend these two enough, thank you to both for making our short trip to Doha, one we will never forget. - Joe and Alexa

This was a wonderful tour! Lika and Arshad were excellent guides. Our tour was cut short due to an unfortunate flight delay but Lika and Arshad did everything they could to maximize our very short time in Doha. We were able to get a good feel for the city, and we felt really happy and comfortable on this tour! Highly recommended. Thank you, Lika and Arshad!
