Everything was great. Food, desserts and the history walk. The only thing we didn’t enjoy was the part my tour guide took us to a store. This store appeared to be connected to him. Some kind of commission. The pressure of buying.

Jordan is a country that is rich in culture and heritage, and where cultures meet, great food is bound to be found. We have compiled a list of the top 10 traditional foods a visitor to Jordan should try, ranging from home made specialties, street foods, and popular favorites for locals.

We wanted to see the real Amman , street life and food. Our guide for the day Mohammed was first class and nothing was too much trouble. We felt totally safe in his hands from start to finish plus he had a cool comfortable car too. Highly recommended trip before we returned home and I can't think if anything negative about this tour. Make sure you DO NOT eat before the trip starts.

Tour was fantastic. Mohammad did a great job squeezing in many sites in such a short timeframe, and gave me options to adjust the tour so at no point did I feel rushed to get to the next spot on the itinerary. We had plenty of time to take in and enjoy the sites, sounds, and food of Amman. I highly recommend taking this tour on your first day in the city to get out and be active. It’s certainly a great way to get oriented with the city. Mohammad is very knowledgable, and his English is very good. After going on this, I feel more educated to decide what’s next to do in Jordan.
