          George the Best Tour Guide
          George was an amazing, educative tour guide and i feel as though I'm returning home to Nigeria with a wealth of knowledge about Qatar and the Middle East. I hope to return soon and do the express tour with him all over again.

          Fun tour around the city
          The tour guide was hilarious, fun and extremely knowledgeable. We went around the city and took nice pictures. We also learnt about how business and investor friendly Doha is.

          Enjoyable but expensive
          Took the gentle 4pm cruise for about 40 minutes (5pm would have been better to see the skyscrapers light up rather brilliantly). Thankfully my driver was patient, and we hung around the quayside for the light show. I also grabbed a superb seafood basket from the Sea Zone Snacks food caravan for just QR20! The average review score is for the price. My tour cost me AU$112 before I left Australia. A ticket for the dhow cruise would have cost me just AU$14 if I had turned up at the boat on my own (and only AU$3 for a taxi to the harbour from my hotel if I had travelled there on my own). Find a better deal if you can.

          First time in Doha - great boat cruise experience
          Our guide knew history and the people of Qatar. He provided many insights and a sense of humor. After the boat cruise he drove us around the city of Doha. We also visited a high end fish market. Finally, a walk along the waterfront with may good photos.

          Great Experience
          I had a great experience in Doha with Travel Designer. My schedule was tight and I didn't have much time in the city. Luckily for me, my excellent guide, Manohar, whisked me around the city and got me to where I needed to go and I saw what I needed to see. He is very knowledgable and informative. He went out of his way to take me to do some shopping since I was without my luggage and needed some toiletries. I only wish I had more time in the city to see and learn more. I'll be back. Thanks Manohar.

          Off The Bucketlist
          Our experience on the Doha Traditional Dhow Cruise with Corniche Walk was fantastic, thanks to our wonderful guide, Manohar. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and made sure we had a great time throughout the cruise. The stunning views of the Doha skyline at twilight were unforgettable, and Manohar shared interesting insights about the city's landmarks as we sailed. The Corniche walk was a perfect way to conclude the evening, and we appreciated Manohar’s efforts to make the entire experience enjoyable. Highly recommend this tour, especially with Manohar as your guide!

          Departure transfer from hotel to Hamad International Airport
          Please don’t use this company for your arrival and departure, to and from Hamad International Airport. We had to wait for 20 minutes for a driver to fetch us from the airport when they should have been waiting for us. The driver was scheduled to fetch us at 4:40am from our hotel and half an hour later, the driver was still not here.

          A failed excursion
          Very unprofessional excursion, we started at 15.00 which was too late for the second half of the excursion, Sheikh Faisal Museum. We watched camel training at the racetrack for 30 minutes from our van after which we tried to enter the museum that closed at 16.30, in other words we missed completely the second part of our excursion. In addition, our guide was not at all aware that the visit of the museum was included in our excursion. His poor English skills didn’t help in solving the problem either. When I asked for a refund from the tour operator Travel Designer WLL, they agreed to give only 15 % back of the price.

        Jan 2023 • Family
        It was genuinely a breath of fresh air. The serene beauty of the mangroves and the peaceful vibe of the Al Thakira Reserve make it an oasis in the desert. Kayaking through those calm waters, surrounded by the mangrove trees and the occasional glimpse of wildlife, was like therapy for the soul. The guide was super knowledgeable and friendly, adding to the experience. However, it's a short one-hour ride, and if you're expecting an adrenaline rush, this might not be it. But if you're all about reconnecting with nature and escaping the hustle and bustle for a while, it's absolutely worth it. Just remember some bug spray – those little critters can be quite persistent!
