5.00This was a great experience/ introduction to Jordan food. Our guide Mohammed Al-Quadi picked us up right on time. We visited all the sites in the itinerary and had a special guide at the Citadel. We Danielle so much food, we were very full! But it was a really good mix of walking and food tasting. Highly recommend this tour.

5.00Great tour with Mohammed Masoud. We visited the Citadel and the Colosseum before enjoying some great fiod. Mohammed was excellent explaining the sites and answered all our questions. The food tour was excellent...the best falafel we have had. Plus the dessert of kanafa was excellent. Would highly recommend if you are visiting Amman.
Great overview of Amman and excellent food sampling!

5.00Great day out with Firas as our guide. As it was the first day of Ramadan tour of Amman took place in morning and the food part in the evening. Excellent local guide for the Citadel and Roman amphitheater. Evening part with Firas was great - good food at locally popular restaurants and excellent selection of street food and drinks. Highly recommended.
Great way to spend the day in Amman.

5.00This tour definitely hit all the top must haves of Jordanian street and comfort food. The tour of the amazing Citadel had an additional guide who provided an understanding of its ancient history and gave us some time to explore on our own as well. Mohammad was our main guide and he was both friendly and patient. We never felt rushed or on a strict schedule although I’m pretty sure we went beyond our designated time. He was also flexible enough to add a different stop when we said we’d already been to the Roman Theater. He was not as talkative as some guides we’ve had but he answered our questions and clearly knows his city.
