Horrible tour guide

Jeninne_M, Dec 2023

Book this tour with EXTREME caution. Because the tour was nice. I was able to see some interesting things. I have no complaints with the tour, only with the tour guide. During the tour, he mentioned that afterward he would take me to see some places in the city of Doha, which was not part of the original tour. Before finishing the original tour, I made it explicitly clear that I was tired and that I just wanted to get some food and go back to my hotel. He graciously offered to take me to get some authentic Qatarian food. I said yes. However, once we got back to Doha city, instead of taking me for food, he drove all around Doha to point out the highlights of the city. This, despite the fact that I had already CLEARLY told him that I was tired and wanted to go back to my hotel. He drove to so many different places in the city, and took up so much time, that I finally told him that I just wanted to go back to my hotel. He urged me to get the food first, so I agreed. I wish it ends there, but it doesn't. He takes me to a sit-down restaurant and a waiter seats us. I was very, very uncomfortable because this felt too personal for a tour. He then asks me a few questions about my taste preferences, and then orders for me. I would have been okay with this since I don't speak the language. But he orders two meals. Two! The food comes ready to eat. Not packaged to go, like I expected. He digs in. He eats a large portion of both meals. Thankfully, I managed to eat enough, but had to stop because he kept going back into both plates of food with the same spoon that he was eating with. This made me uncomfortable, so I told him that he could just take the remaining food home with him. Which he did. Fine. Now for the worst part! When the bill comes, he just looks at me to pay for both meals. He just sits there and doesn't pay a dime for the food that he ate. Food that I NEVER offered to purchase for him. I was shocked! Instead of saying anything, I just paid the entire bill and decided to not give him a tip. But all of the above was unacceptable. The only good thing is that I did get to see some sites that I'll likely never see again in life. But, because of the horrible behavior of the tour guide, I would never recommend this tour to anyone.

Response from Host, Dec 2023

Dear Jeninne, Good day, Thank you for your time writing us. We investigate what happened, as per our tour guide, he explained the full itinerary before start of the tour, but when they reach the west, guest ask why they are in the west, and she is more interested on west & east of Doha City not the sculpture itself. After the west visit, our guide tour around the city and consume another 2 hours more extra time for guest to be happy. Guest feels hungry and our guide brought her to a local restaurant as she requested. The meal is clearly not part of the inclusions. This is our guide side of story. Glad that you enjoyed the tour & touristic sites despite having issue with our guide. Hope you trust our company and book for another trip, our main priority is guest satisfaction, this is isolated case.

The Wild West

Very good, helpful guide and driver. Some stunning scenery too! The west side is so different from the downtown Qatar. Makes you realize what Qatar looked like before becoming so metropolitan.

Awesome trip

Wonderful experience with great guides

SOOKLING_G, Aug 2019

One of the best private tours we've been on. The whole experience was great despite being summer in the desert - the car was very well air-conditioned. The pickup was prompt and our guide Raman was very knowledgeable about the places we went to. Amir our driver was wonderful also. Thanks for a great experience!
