5.00The half-day tour with the guide (Mahohar) was a lot of fun! I actually had some trouble during the tour, but they were very kind to me and helped me. We were also able to efficiently tour the highlights of Doha and see what each of them was like.
Fun tour around the city

5.00great tour. we had it in spanish and in english, justice for everyone, lol. ouer tour lady was from Spain and such great person, she very kind and careful with everyone, specially with my father, who is a elder person and do not speak english. qatar y en particular doha, es un país espectacular, realmente es sorprendente. they are doing their best to do it better. they know that progress is not only about amazing buildings, they are working also in having a better land for everyone, better laws. la educación es muy importante en ese país, realmente es gente amigable y bien comportada. gotta go back to visit al wakrah during the day (was there at night), other places also and the desert of qatar.
Not worth the money

3.00Wouldn't recommend this is most people. For the money, it's not worth it. And it leaves you questioning whether there are way better tours available, for the same price, and better mixture of experiences. My guess is that 1% of people would find this tour relevant. It's better to either add more experiences, or reduce the price. I was gullible due to lack of time and the fact that most other tours were sold out due to the world Cup. Waste of money according to me and the other gentlemen present on this tour. Strangely, this "Express Tour" tour wasn't available on GetYourGuide, which means that the tour operators would have done their research.
Great experience

4.00Every evening at 8 p.m. the city walking tour is organized. You will visit the Souq, the Falcon Hospital and the stables. At the end you are invited to the Majilis room. Interesting and adequate after a day flight.

Delights of Doha

5.00We found this city very hot, interesting and friendly. The bay is amazing , busy area with wooden Doha’s were crossing across from the old to the new city. The old city area is currently being rebuilt as Qatar are hosting the Worlds Soccer in 2022, but one can still get around. The Muslin Art Museum is a must! The new city is lovely and is a must to see. The Doha’s are a must. Really enjoyed this stop over.
Nothing better to do?

2.00If you have a 6 hour or more layover at the airport, then you can book a Qatar Airways 'Discover Qatar' tour. It takes 3 hours and you are taken to a shopping area, a mosque, the corniche to see the view if the skyline and Pearl Island to gawp at the wealth. Not my kind of thing.
