1Unreliable - go elsewhere
Didn’t show up, despite confirming via email and WhatsApp. Contacted him and he offered to come late afternoon, the time I’d be checking in for the flight out of Kuwait. I can see in the reviews that this has happened before many times. Unreliable tour company, don’t trust them with your booking.
5Kuwait experience
Walid picked us up from our hotel and we had a great experience. He was very experienced and spoke perfect English. I wanted to visit the great mosque and he made that happened even though we were told that the mosque was closed that day. He suggested a great place to eat lunch which made our experience even better.
5Best way to know Kuwait City
The guide Amer had a high energy and was very kind. Learned a lot about the local culture and it was very practical and flexible in terms of what we wanted to do the most, totally recommend. Best way to know the city mixing local and touristic lens.
5Good experience
A little bit of everything of Kuwait in a few hours. City and desert. A nice experience to get a grip of Kuwait in a short time.
5Great Way to See Kuwait
Our tour guide, Walied, did a great job showing us the sights of Kuwait. We were able to see the Grand Mosque of Kuwait, several museums, and the Kuwaiti desert all in one day. Walied also seamlessly arranged a visit requested by us to an additional mosque we were interested in. We highly recommend Walied and his excellent tour.
4A day out in Kuwait
It was a good opportunity to get orientated to Kuwait City and a few of its museums. The day ended with an opportunity to eat dinner and shop in the souk.

About Kuwait City
Kuwait City is a Gulf capital on a bay, with striking modern towers, old souqs, a grand mosque and a long maritime past.
Kuwait City lies on the southern shore of Kuwait Bay in the north-western Gulf, a capital of wide highways, modern towers and a long waterfront corniche. Its symbol is the Kuwait Towers, three slender spires finished in 1979, the tallest with a sphere that holds a restaurant and a viewing platform. The Grand Mosque, with a huge central dome, stands near the Seif Palace and the old centre.
