This is the perfect tour for a short stopover. I had around 6 hours, and that was plenty to see the highlights of the city. I was able to curate it as I wanted, which was perfect. Waleed, my guide, was very knowledgeable about the city and its history. He was kind, and I felt very safe as a solo female traveler. One piece of advice: if you are doing this tour while in transit through Kuwait (layover, stopover)- make sure to ask (in advance) for an address to put down on your visa form (visa is given on arrival in the airport).
Rushed experience for the money paid

Expensive for the rushed time of just 4 hours. Would be far more relaxed & enjoyable if not on the clock. Not enough time at all stops to fully appreciate, & you feel awkward due to it. And several places are merely passed by. It was a nice insight, but time constraints make the experience notably reduced in value.
Good tour to get a glance of Kuwait

My wife and I took this tour with Waleed. He is a very experienced traveler and also very knowledgeable of the history of Kuwait. We felt like we learned a lot of the country in those approx. 4 hours. The transportation was comfortable. We took this tour over the long weekend of Prophet Mohamed's birthday, so the mosque was closed. It can be improved that alternative attractions or activities should be presented when the main attractions are closed. Other than that, my wife and I had a great time.
Excellent overview of Kuwait City

Hiring a private guide for a tour in Kuwait City was the perfect choice. Walid was super! He was very knowledgeable about his country and its history and culture and gave us an overview we could not have experienced on our own. He was right on time, with a very comfy vehicle and took us to great spots. We could not believe how quickly the time went!
