A memorable evening in Amman seeing the sights and enjoying Iftar with a local guide during Ramadan - I had an absolutely lovely evening with Basel of Zaid yours seeing panoramic views of Amman in the evening followed by Iftar with at Hashem in downtown Amman. I got the see the sights including the Citadel and the Blue Mosque with the burkah and the Amphi theater while seeing Amman from up high The Iftar was most especially the best part of the tour and a memory I will treasure Basel personally broke bread with me with three types of hummus and the Majool dates and Kunafi at the end as the sweet

Full view of Amman in a single day - We combined the panoramic tour with the day tour of Amman. They were both spectacular. Our guide was absolutely amazing. The lunch we enjoyed was outstanding.

Action packed and super fun day - We actually were provided the flexibility to adjust our tour when we arrived and added visits to Maraba, Mt. Nebo and a float in the Dead Sea to our itinerary for a reasonable additional cost. Btw- we asked for airport pickup (instead of Hotel pickup) which was also provided for a reasonable additional cost. This saved much time and made our visit much more productive. Hassan was our guide and took great care of us all day and we thoroughly enjoyed our visit.

Great way to enjoy the highlights of the city - This is a wonderful way to get oriented in Amman. We enjoyed the food and I regret not going back to Habibah for more Kunafa multiple times during our week in Jordan. Since it is a private tour, we were able to allow more time at the Citadel and for shopping. The views and sites at the Citadel are spectacular and our driver, Amer, was able to find a knowledgeable onsite guide to provide in-depth history of the Citadel and Jordan. We started our tour early and had the stunning Mosque all to ourselves. I also enjoyed the high quality merchandise in the Mosque gift shop. Our guide, Amer, helpfully tried to advise me on negotiating on Rainbow Street as he seemed to think I could get lower prices. I am glad we took a private tour to see the city as it is larger than we expected and this helped us see more.

12/1/2022 - I only had one day to see Amman during a business trip. This tour was perfect! Khalid (driver and guide) was great and very knowledgeable. I also really appreciated my guide at the citadel (Ibrahim). Note lunch was not mezze but that was fine since I preferred to spend more time at the sites. 10/10 would recommend.

Great First Day! - Firas was great! He was more than punctual, he was at the hotel to pick us up early. The then took us to the Citadel. Having a guide provide historical background was a vital piece. The Roman theater, the beautiful mosque, and going to the shops downtown are all a nice part of an introduction to Jordan. For me however, the best part was last, THE FOOD! I surely was not expecting a five course meal for lunch. Spectacular!

Wonders of Amman - Our city tour of Amman was one of a kind. Mahmoud was a great driver and guide. He went above and beyond to make sure we had the best time. He took us to see some amazing sites and I felt so comfortable walking around the city like a local. We visited the spice market, the citadel, Roman Theater, Rainbow Street plus more. The highlight of the trip was the restaurant where we had lunch. The food and customer service was amazing at Tawaheen Al Hawa Restaurant. We tried the traditional dish Mensaf and drank a refreshing lemon mint drink. The hummus is the best I’ve ever had. This was a great day. I love Jordan and will be sure to return. Thank you 😊
