Great time in Doha. - Nitesh was fantastic. Before we even left , he was in contact so we knew exactly where to meet him. This was the start of an entertaining, educational, stress-free day. Nitesh was knowledgeable and all our questions were ably answered. Our comfort and safety was important to him. Most of all, he was fun and a pleasure to spend the day with.

Excellent - Well worth doing. Ali was a brilliant tour guide, very knowledgable. We visited a number of the top sights and had an opportunity to walk around and take photos. Ali picked us up from the airport and returned us 4 hours later. Doha is incredible, the architecture is stunning and has many innovative ideas.

THE BEST EXPERIENCE EVER!!! - I highly recommend everyone book a tour if you have a layover in Doha. This is what happened to me. I had an 8 hour layover and I did not want to spend such a long time at the airport. I am so grateful I found Doha transit and tours. From the beginning it was such a smooth process. Easy online booking process (I booked it short notice) I am so happy it worked out perfectly. I was able to get the confirmation within minutes. The day of the tour my tour guide, Sam, reached out to me directly and explained everything with so much clarity and ease. As a solo female traveler, feeling secure is a priority for me. Sam made the experience even better by being such a welcoming person. After pick up, he took us around the city and showed me all the key points. I was so impressed with his knowledge and hospitality. I even requested to stop by the mall and he made it happen for me. He took me to the souq and it was incredible. I got to pet a falcon, eat delicious knafeh, and shop for a magnet. I didn’t know what to expect whenever I booked this tour and honestly I had no idea what Doha was like. I simply took the chance to get out of the airport and I am soooo happy I did. Sam showed me the highlights of Doha and it really encouraged me to come back and visit for vacation. I cannot express enough how amazing the tour was!!! Book your experience today!!
