    Our tour guide, Noor, was professional, friendly, knowledgable, and kind. He went out of his way to ensure we got to experience true Qatari hospitality while showing us beautiful, historic sites. I appreciate him working during Ramadan and ensuring we had a great time. I highly recommend this tour and our tour guide!!

    Yesterday we went to Al Zubarah fort, Purple island and few other places and had a great time. The trip became even more enjoyable because of Abdul Nasir, our tour guide. An extremely pleasant and well informed man, he kept us engaged thoughout the journey with his stories and anecdotes about Qatar history and culture. Since this is Ramadan time he was fasting but that had no impact on his energy and enthusiasm levels, which were extremely high. Look forward to more trips with Golden Adventures.
