Great time passing activities a long layover. We did not have to deal with the Hassel of getting lost or getting to/from the airport. Money well spent.
Really enjoyed the tour Sadiq, our tour guide. Get to sample local food and tea in the tour as well.
Overall, it was a pleasant experience.

The center of Doha’s activities, this is not to be missed.
Get a good guide, like Javid.
Soak in the experience.

Overall, a good tour with Shambhu from Falcon Tours. I booked the tour for the same day and Shambhu reached out quickly to coordinate and picked my up right on time. He was knowledgeable and friendly - really good guide. However, the name of the tour is very misleading - this is NOT a food tour - this is a tour of the Souq Waqif ... followed by a meal, so for those that have done food tours in other places and expect multiple stops to try the local food (which is what I expected) - this is not that tour. The market itself is OK, with some parts more interesting than others - for example, the falcon market is really cool, but I cannot say that I was overly excited by the spice market. Shambhu saved the tour by being a great guide.
