Fun tour through the main market of Doha, complete with falcons, shopping, and a delicious traditional dinner! I highly recommend Javid, he was a great guide and very knowledgeable!! I would recommend booking a tour later in the afternoon to see the market at its peak.

Very interesting cultural tour of museum and Souq Waqif with a delicious traditional lunch at the conclusion. Perhaps more time to experience the Souq itself would have added to the experience. Javid was a very knowledgeable tour guide and spoke very good English.

Javid is a fantastic guide for a first time tour to Doha, very knowledgeable and insightful tour through the old markets, explaining the old architecture and history. After passing by the oldest hotel in Doha, we also went through the sweets market and ended with a traditional dinner with chicken and lamb curry.
