Mohamed was polite and courteous from beginning to end. He gave clear directions at each stop of the tour to help us navigate the sites. He explained each of the local food options and helped order them in generous amounts! (Strongly recommend starting with an empty stomach) Overall a great way to explore Amman for one day.

We had the pleasure of lovely Kamal being our guide/driver. We firstly explored the Citadel and the amphitheatre before venturing on the walking downtown food tour, the food souk, then Rainbow St. We sampled all the local cuisine and thoroughly enjoyed it. Kamal was a very gracious guide who never hurried us and was very easy to chat to.

We had an amazing experience on the private street food and walking tour with our guide Mohammad Masoud. This tour was the perfect way to see the highlights of Amman and try some amazing local food all in one day. Perfect for your first day in Amman.
Mohammad arrived early and was waiting for us in our hotel lobby wt 8:30am. Our first stop was the Citadel where he set up us up with an excellent guide for a tour. After the Citadel, we visited the Roman Theatre and the King Abdullah Mosque. After a few hours of sightseeing, we then embarked on the food tour portion of the trip. We ate amazing food from falafel to shawarma to sugar cane juice and left the tour extremely full and satisfied. We highly recommend this tour for anyone who wants to see the highlights of Amman with a great guide in 1 day!
