Layover Tour With Ali - Great tour. Was picked up at the airport for a layover tour by Ali. He took me on an evening tour of all the popular spots in Doha, Doha Port, The Pearl, Katara and the Souk. We finished off with a great local meal and back in time to catch my flight.

Great airport-to-airport 4hr layover tour - let Hamood show you around Qatar. - Hamood was our guide - on a very short layover in Qatar. He showed up at the scheduled time and was very polite, considering our rush in getting out there and back to the airport in 4hrs to catch out next flight. He drove us at night, straight to the market where we got to experience the night live on a summer season (still 38C at 10pm). We went through the pearls and most of the tourist spots - he gave us great background on the history of Qatar, the development in the last 25yrs and chose the best spots for photos! Overall a great experience - I highly recommend you to let Hamood show you around!

Doha 7/20/24 - Hamod was extremely outgoing and knowledgeable about the local history, architecture, and culture. On our tour, he took us to every place we asked him to, and a few extra places. It also helps that he is completely fluent in English, so there wasn’t any language barrier at all. 5 stars out of 5 stars, I would do it all over again.

Do a tour of Doha! Beautiful city! - We enjoyed the pickup service from the airport during our layover. Irfan was very knowledgeable and efficient he showed us all over Doha and told us about the history of the city. We felt very safe on this tour and we are so glad we did this versus just sitting in the airport!

Excellent experience! - We booked last minute with Hamood, and had the best time touring Doha with him. Very knowledgeable about the history and culture, and was patient with us as we captured photos of this beautiful layover destination. I would highly recommend Hamood and this tour company.

Great way to spend a long layover! - Our guide, Irfan picked us up right at our hotel and the tour began immediately. We had many questions about Qatar, the culture, infrastructure and the city, that he answered. Our guide, Irfan drove us around in an air conditioned truck(it was 45c) and stopped at many picturesque places. I highly recommend this tour if you want to see the city. We enjoyed our tour!

Great experience with Irfan. - We had an overnight layover in Doha and booked a 4 hour City driving tour with Irfan, and we had a fantastic experience! He was able to pack in a great deal of information and site seeing in a short amount of time and showed us areas we never would have seen on our own. He answered all of our questions and made us feel very comfortable.
