THE BEST EXPERIENCE EVER!!! - I highly recommend everyone book a tour if you have a layover in Doha. This is what happened to me. I had an 8 hour layover and I did not want to spend such a long time at the airport. I am so grateful I found Doha transit and tours. From the beginning it was such a smooth process. Easy online booking process (I booked it short notice) I am so happy it worked out perfectly. I was able to get the confirmation within minutes. The day of the tour my tour guide, Sam, reached out to me directly and explained everything with so much clarity and ease. As a solo female traveler, feeling secure is a priority for me. Sam made the experience even better by being such a welcoming person. After pick up, he took us around the city and showed me all the key points. I was so impressed with his knowledge and hospitality. I even requested to stop by the mall and he made it happen for me. He took me to the souq and it was incredible. I got to pet a falcon, eat delicious knafeh, and shop for a magnet. I didn’t know what to expect whenever I booked this tour and honestly I had no idea what Doha was like. I simply took the chance to get out of the airport and I am soooo happy I did. Sam showed me the highlights of Doha and it really encouraged me to come back and visit for vacation. I cannot express enough how amazing the tour was!!! Book your experience today!!

Doha City Tour: Layover Highlights - If you've got a layover in Doha, the Doha City Tour is a pretty cool way to make the most of it. You get a taste of Qatari culture, mixing modern stuff with tradition. Yeah, time is a bit tight, but if you're looking for a quick tour of Doha, it's a great option. I'd totally recommend it for anyone with a layover in Doha who wants to add some cool cultural vibes to their trip.

Absolute must if you have a long layover! - Absolutely had the best time and so pleased we chose to do this trip. We had an 8.30 hour layover so wanted something to do instead of staying stuck in the airport. Our guide was Sam and he was extremely knowledgeable and great company. We came away with a great insight to Qatar life and would definitely make us come back for a longer stay. Felt that alot was put into the time we were in Doha and got a good sense of the city. Thank you Sam for making it so enjoyable, we will definitely return.

YES! Do the Layover Doha City Tour - ask for SAM to be your guide - I am extremely glad that we booked this Layover Doha City Tour during our 10-hour layover in Qatar. Our personal tour guide Sam was amazing. He took us to all of the famous sites in Doha. Also, he told us about the history of the country and the people there - he was truly a wealth of knowledge. We did the tour at night- after 10 pm and it was so hot we were dripping in sweat from the humidity. It was still an experience that I am glad to have been a part of.

Take the 4 hour city tour- you won’t regret it! - This was a perfect way to spend a layover. I saw much of the city from the car, but we got our several times and we’re able to walk the city and see different sites. Yam was an amazing guide. He had great knowledge of the city and was friendly and prompt. Fabulous experience!
