Guides such as Umair and Singh add local stories, while the private format keeps the outing personal.

“Guide Singh was really nice, very enthousiastic about his job. He's been in Qatar for 20+ years so he has seen all the changes in Qatar and shares his stories during the ride and Corniche walk. The Dhow trip was long enough to take some great photos of the West Bay skyline. Very nice tour with a very likeable guide. Recommended.”
