Amazing Trip! - Fabulous and a must see when in Jordan. Definitely take the tour! Everyone so friendly and helpful. Great experience. Amman Marriot is a great place to stay when in Amman. Manager Mazen extremely helpful and concierge. Rooms were immaculate. The sitting areas poolside & pool was fabulous for poolside cocktails in the evening. Breakfast buffet and staff were amazing, poolside and ambience was perfect. Only issue was I was looking forward to live music. Lounge and pool were closed that one the main reason I chose Marriot over it’s competitors. I really was really looking forward to pool and live music after long day traveling. Second best Marriot in Jordan for ambience. Stayed at all of them while in Jordan for entertainment and pool Marriot Dead Sea Rocks! Petra Marriot staff were fabulous and breakfast was always beautifully displayed. Staff sang happy birthday in Arabic to my mom and brought her cheesecake. Always super smiley and happy, and accommodating. Gift shop was closed but we shopped in town and met a lot of amazing residents and shop keepers so we didn’t mind. Hotel was immaculate. Will definitely recommend to my family and friends. Restaurant staff brought me these extra strawberries when I just asked for a few for this amazing chia yogurt they make. Don’t look super appealing but tasted amazing. Great views.

Great Intro to Amman’s Culture and History - There’s plenty to see in Amman, but the traffic can be bad. So having a driver/guide who knows the best way to move around the city and can take good photos too is a real asset. Our driver Omar was excellent in all ways - friendly, very good English, and very knowledgeable - as he took my son and I to a mosque, the Roman theater ruins, and the ancient Citadel ruins high above the city, sometimes stopping along the way to point out other notable sites. In 3 hours, we covered a lot of ground and learned a lot. I highly recommend Omar and this tour; it’s a fun, efficient way to see the highlights of a beautiful city.

360-degree view of the city of Amman - The Roman theater and the Citadel were really worth seeing. In particular, from the Citadel, I can get a 360-degree view of the city of Amman, and it was my first experience in a place like this in my life. On the way through downtown, the traffic moved forward very slowly, which fortunately gave me a good idea of how people lived. The driver always tried to drive safely and was very attentive to me.

A great introduction to Amman, at your own pace. - We chose the 3-hr Amman city tour, no guide, and it ended up more like 4 hours. Very fair price, at $50 for four people in the car. The pace was great and we did not feel hurried. The amphitheater and Citadel were astonishing. I wish we could have skipped the Blue Mosque (King Abdullah mosque.) The mosque itself was interesting, but do try to get out of the high-pressure gift shop quickly. The “handmade” decorative dish I bought (for way too much money) turns out to have been made in China. That's not the tour's fault, though! We got our money's worth and this tour was an excellent introduction to Amman.

Only half the ininerary - We were picked up by Omar on time and he was very nice and spoke good English. He took us to the Citadel and Roman Amphitheatre and gave us good pointers on where to go and what to see. Since we are well-traveled and have seen a lot of Roman ruins, I specifically asked We Guide Travel if we would be seeing the old city and a mosque. They replied, "Yes, the King Abdallah (blue) mosque and the old city." However, instead, Omar took us to a local mosque, which was very basic and not interesting. Then, I believe we were on our way to the old city when it began to rain lightly. As we were stuck in traffic, waiting to turn, I saw my hotel and asked Omar "Is that our hotel?" He immediately changed course and brought us back to our hotel instead of finishing our tour. It was rather disappointing. I think he just wanted to go home and not be in the rain.
