Nice Tour

Maha was very nice, super kind and informative. It was a pleasant tour which allowed me to get a flavour of the capital.
Great tour!
Published on Jan, 2023
As I only had one day in Kuwait, I wanted to see as much as possible, which this tour provided! Waleed was my tour guide and he did an excellent job. We went to the Kuwait Towers, the Old Souq where we had some tea and traditional bread, the Grand Mosque, the Al Sadu House and the Habitat Museum. Waleed was very knowledgable and told me interesting facts about his country. He was very accomodating and helped me find a special gift for my mother's birthday, as well. So, if you don't have much time in Kuwait or would like to get a good insight of the city, I can only recommend this tour!

I would like to extend my gratitude to Mr. Fadi Hijazin(Regional Manager) and his team -Qatar Airways Office at Kuwait City, Kuwait, for their intense and continuous follow ups in my recent travel arrangements, they insured my comfort and took an extra care of my needs in a detailed manner, they were very professional and went an extra mile in providing quality of service . I would definitely be flying with Qatar Airways in near future for the level of commendable service and welcoming attitude I received, will definitely recommend Qatar Airways to my family and friends .
Pleasant surprise
Published on Nov, 2022
Our visit to Kuwait City was a pleasant surprise. We were delighted with the growing city, the modern side with beautiful skyscrapers and the very beautiful older side. Beautiful park that continues to expand. The Kuwait Towers are really beautiful in real life as in the pictures. All this wonderful experience was possible thanks to our local guide Walled, very friendly, helpful and competent, always giving us historical and cultural information about Kuwait. We went to several museums and without his information our experience would not have been so positive. I highly recommend the guided tour.
