I haven't been able to find a reliable answer for the visa fee if the tour is full.
No, the city tour was full by the time I arrived on QR702. Was told that the tour filled up by 4:30 (just 30 minutes after check-in opened) so get there as early as you can.
I paid the visa (100 QAR ~ $28 USD) and took a cab to Souq Waqif and walked around on my own for a few hours. The city tour does include the visa, though I think you get a different kind of entry permit valid only for one day with the group. But without the tour, you're responsible for paying your own visa fee.

I recently flew AMM-DOH-JNB, JNB-DOH-LCA. The bade fare for all flights altogether was $370. No problem pre-ordering hotel voucher.
Hmm. Thanks for the info. I'll contact QR to see what they have to say.
