I highly recommend this tour if you’re looking to see all the main sights of Amman and get a taste of the culture in one day! Saber was my guide for the day and took me on a terrific tour of the city- we adjusted the start time, added an extra stop (to the blue mosque) and fit in all of our stops in about 6 hours (delayed slightly due to a delayed citadel opening). Saber catered everything to my interests and I never felt rushed- he had a separate guide take me around the citadel and I did the Roman theater on my own. All of the foot was amazing, I was completely stuffed after our day together! Highly recommend.This tour was amazing. Tayseer was our guide and was a fabulous host.

This is a must do to experience the heart and soul of Amman. I prefer to experience everyday culture, people, and food and this was great. I was met at hotel by Freddy in a clean car on time and he was very nice and very good English! We took a tour of the citadel and other sites then onto the central market that was awesome experience. Fruit, spice, sweets, meat, fish all sold here as you walk through the alleys—- not pestered to buy either. Offered free samples by a few. Then onto eating at Hashem for hummus and falafel.. this place is very well know and a must in Amman- it’s a must like Katz deli is to New York lol. We continued on until I was to tired and full. Again it’s a must and please ask for Freddy… enjoy!
