Lovely way to experience the PEARL area in Doha - Emad was on time and gave us his complete attention for 4 hours, sharing facts and personal stories about Doha, the Pearl and local food. We had a lovely time and enjoyed the experience. Misc: Some walking - wear comfortable shoes Will eat a lot of food - be prepared If in winter, bring a light jacket

Qatar Island Experience - Emad was an incredible tour guide and showed us around the entire Pearl Island with some incredible food as well - we were so full at the end. The boat tour of the islands at night was incredible as well. It’s a small group tour to keep things intimate - it is well worth the price and the length of the tour is perfect as well!

A great way to see some of Doha, be fed and while away an afternoon/evening. - Enthusiastic, knowledgeable young guide (whose name escapes me). Took us to the modern sights of Doha. More of a tour of Pearl Island with tasty traditional snacks along the way completed by a relaxing electric boat tour of the central marina area. Spectacular lighting at the end of the tour on the extremely modern buildings along with a commentary about Doha daily life. Clean, tidy air cond. car and pick up from our hotel. A great way to see some of Doha, be fed and while away an afternoon/evening.

Great Tour! - What a wonderful 5 hours we had with Imad. I searched hard to find a unique food & sightseeing tour and this did not disappoint. Imad was both friendly and knowledgeable and we learnt so much from him, The food stops were also great - would have loved more food history (maybe because I'm a foodie and also a food tour guide in my home city) but we had no complaints. It was a wonderful few hours and we highly recommend.

Highly recommend - best of both worlds - Had a 2 days stop over at Doha an did this food tour - would highly recommend it. Had a wonderful time with Emad. The food option’s were good - loved the shawarma the most. They were very thoughtful and made adjustment to my dietary preferences (only chicken). This tour had best of both worlds- walking across Perl and Jewan island as we explored our food joints and then boat ride with an up close view of the yatchs 🤩. The only change I would make it pick a 4pm slot instead of an 11am which made it super hot in the afternoon.

The best food tour in Doha.. 100% - Nasir offers an excellent food tour of Doha. You will try multiple culinary delights throughout the area including traditional copies, teas, dinners and deserts. I highly recommend this trip for anyone interested in the foods of Qatar and the ability to try dining locations you most likely would miss without this tour. I cant recommend this tour enough. The tour is very informative, professional, and just a great experience.

Not Worth the Hefty Price Tag - Out of the 7 food and drinks we got to sample we really only enjoyed 3 of them which is completely subjective. There was a lot more driving that I expected but the real downside for me was the tour guide constantly being on his phone either texting or on calls most of time he was driving us which is not only unprofessional but completely unsafe. He was also continuously lighting up to smoke during our tour which is again highly unprofessional and completely concerning for those of us with medical concerns like asthma that can’t handle being around smokers. The last stop for us was Arabic coffee which is not something I want to be drinking at almost 9pm so I didn’t partake. The boat ride was a nice feature but overall I can’t recommend both from a professional standpoint point and the fact it’s highly overpriced for what you get. Uber is so cheap in Doha just venture out for kebabs, Karak tea and Karen on your own and save a ton of money.
