This is the perfect way to spend a long layover in Doha. I booked before my flight and when I landed, I had a text from English speaking guide Sudarshan. As a solo female traveler not having been to Qatar before, I felt very safe with using this service, especially considering my particular tour was 6-10pm. Also, 4hrs was more than enough time to see the highlights and be back at the airport before my connecting flight.
