What a lovely way to spend a layover in Doha! After a quick pass through immigration & customs (less than 10 minutes) the airport pick-up from our tour guide Asif was seamless. He whisked us away in comfort and started our tour immediately. Asif has a wonderful manner, a true expert on the history and culture of Qatar (and Pakistan). He is warm, yet exceeding professional and guided us through several historical areas with the perfect amount of background and patience in answering our multitudes of questions. Asif is a total pro, and we were able to cover all the things we wanted to see, as well as few surprises he showed us along the way. Two thumbs up (as high as they go) for Asif and ease of booking with ToursbyLocals.

Excellent tour. It covered both the well known sites outside of Doha as well as a few special “off the radar” ones. Asif is a wealth of knowledge about Qatar, its history and today’s happenings. He also is a talented professional who gives guides a great reputation.

We had a 7 hour layover in Doha and decided to book a 4-hour tour a few days before we arrived. Asif was very responsive in my initial emails asking what the tour would included and if a night tour would be worth it he assured me that seeing Doha at night would be quite memorable and it was! Asif picked us up at the airport and easily accommodated our family of 5. 100% Recommended

This really was an unforgettable day as Asif showed us so many places and gave us so much information about life in Qatar now and in the past. He certainly looked after us well all day, making sure we were always comfortable and had everything we needed. We highly recommend Asif as a tour guide as well as recommend this whole day tour of the country.

Simply put, Asif is amazing! Our 8-10 hour tour just kept expanding as Asif kept adding stops. Asif showed me as much Doha as you can see in 11+ hours. His enthusiasm and knowledge of the region made this tour an incredible experience. His itinerary is very flexible and he is willing to add/modify the tour based upon your interests and needs. If I am ever back in the region, there is no one I would rather tour Doha with than Asif.

My tour with Syed was fantastic! Engaging, informative, and perfectly paced, with flexibility to tailor the day to my interests in learning more about the natural beauty of Qatar as well as its rich history. Syed’s incredible knowledge of Qatar, his humor, and hospitality (plenty of opportunities to stop for snacks and tea!)made the day unforgettable. A perfect blend of nature, history, and culture. Would highly recommend booking with him and collaborating on your own perfect tour of Qatar.

My wife and I spent spectacular day with Syed Asif! One to cherish. Never having been to Doha, the day was filled with the rich history and culture of the area. His knowledge and ability to share with us along with his kind demeanor created a wonderful friendship. His itinerary of Qatar provided an informative perspective of this stunning country. We look forward to returning to Doha and further exploring the country and city with him.

We hired Asif for a day in Doha. He arrived absolutely on the stroke of the hour, his car was spotless and he was dressed professionally. His English is very good and he was an excellent driver. He had a keen sense of what we liked and what we could skip and showed us a fabulous day. We were so impressed that we wanted to hire him for another day. We hated to say goodbye at the end. You cannot go wrong hiring him! I hope tourism picks up so we don’t lose this valuable guide to some other profession.
