What are people saying about Amman

Harsh_T, May 2026

Great experience

Jafar was an amazing tour guide. He went out of his way to make sure we were comfortable and tell us everything we needed to know to not get scammed at Petra. The Bedouin camp was wonderful, highly recommend getting the deluxe tent with AC and private bathroom, it makes the stay much more comfortable. The camp was in a beautiful area and there was lots of room to walk around and explore the immediate area on your own. Food at the camp was good, we had a traditional Jordanian Mansaf for dinner and good breakfast as well. The Dead Sea experience was great, we were given lunch passes and a towel for the beach. Overall, I would recommend this tour to anyone. It is much easier than trying to book these three experiences separately, especially wadi rum, since a 4x4 vehicle is required to drive through the protected area.

From Amman: Petra and Wadi rum Private/Group Full day Tour

Kimberly_J, Apr 2026

Saada was an AMAZING tour guide!

Our day tour to Petra and Wadi Rum with Saada from Jordan Landmark Tours was absolutely fabulous from start to finish!!! He made my two daughters and I from the USA feel so comfortable and safe. We rode in a very nice, air conditioned car, and he had free water bottles to give us throughout the day. Plus he would stop whenever we 3 girls needed a restroom break. We have had many tours in other countries throughout the World, and Saada was so personable and his English is so very good! If we ever came back to Amman we would definitely have him as our driver again as he was one of the best drivers safety wise we have ever had! He is so knowledgeable in regard to Jordan’s history and everyday living questions, and we had many questions, and all he answered honestly and so we would comprehend. We cannot thank you enough Saada for the wonderful day!

Airport pickup or drop off transfer from or to Amman city

Delisa_R, Jan 2026

Safe, professional and reliable

As a solo female travling in Jordan, I wanted a safe, reliable "easy" ride to my hotel from the airport after a long day of flying from the USA. The driver contacted me via Whatsapp and was ready and waiting when I arrived. He was very professional and spoke english - very friendly and the company also helped me with a ride to Petra later in my trip. I would highly recommend.

Amman: Private Panoramic Tour and Local Meal-Optional Wine Taste

Kirsten_C, Jan 2026

Such a fun and easy way...

Such a fun and easy way to visit Amman. We were picked up on time for our hotel and taken to see the mosque, which we chose to pay for to enter. It was super interesting to see that a Christian church stood across from the mosque, representing the Jordanian culture embracing differences. The mosque was beautiful and historic. Then, we did outside views of the citadel and the roman stadium, which were beautiful at night with the sun setting and the lovely hills. We couldn't visit the rainbow stairs. It was Christmas, a holiday that everyone takes and we were told that streets were closed, though we did drive through the old town which I would have loved to spend a bit more time in. The wine tasting was worth the extras!! We bought 4 bottles of wine. And, we loved the restaurant. The food was the highlight. There was so much food and we wanted to eat more but couldn't! It was a real authentic restaurant and not just a tourist place. Highly recommend!!!

Amman Petra Full-Day Trip

Greg_L, Jan 2026

Petra - A bucket list must

Our driver Bardaghawi was extremely approachable and went above and beyond in his duty. Bardaghawi Provided regional information on the way too and from Petra. Conversation was extremely good and made the trip time roll on by. Petra itself was Amazing. Indiana being named after his dog is a small price too pay when confronted with the physical beauty and History of the place. Highly econmended

Relaxing way to see and learn about Amman

We had a wonderful and relaxing time visiting the sites with our tour operator, Ahmad. Ahmad picked us up at our hotel and took us to the key sites, took some great pictures of us, and was patient and informative. Tour lasted about approx 4 hours, however it seemed it could be shorter or longer, just depends on how long you spend at each site. Highly recommend if visiting Amman for first time as we were.

Half Day Tour to Dead Sea From Amman

Dylan_S, Dec 2025

Great tour with Omar!

At the beginning of the trip, our driver offered to take us to the Baptismal Site of Jesus Christ and Mount Nebo for 30 JOD extra for the two of us. We agreed to this as we’d not had an opportunity to visit these sites beforehand. The Baptismal Site of Jesus Christ cost 12 JOD per person for entry, and this included a group tour guide, and it lasted for around 2 hours. We later went to the Crown Plaza to go into the dead sea and then have a buffet lunch. Later on, we went to Mount Nepo, which costed 3 JOD per person, but this is cash only (card not accepted). The whole day took around 8-9 hours from Amman and back, including these two additional site stops. Our driver, Omar, was great and gave us waters throughout the journeys. He also showed us the facilities at the dead sea resort, and stopped at a few points to take photos for us. This day trip was definitely worth it. The dead sea was a lot warmer than expected, and the climate is a lot warmer than in Amman. We did this trip in late December, and it was definitely warm enough to go into the sea. We were taken to the Holiday Inn resort at first, but due to an event, the beach was closed, so we were taken to another hotel with the same rating, which was also nice, called the Crown Plaza resort. The buffet food was very good, and the hotel surroundings were also nice.

3-Day from Amman: Petra, Wadi Rum, Mt.Nebo, Dana, Red & Dead Seas

Puja_S, Dec 2025

This tour was really...

This tour was really something special. Mohammed, my driver/guide went above and beyond to make the trip memorable, from things as small as finding the best falafel, to tweaking the plan to add in hot springs when it was too cold for a Dead Sea float (though we still visited the Dead Sea). I cannot stress how cool this tour was. I loved seeing the mosaics of madaba, mount nebo and its views, little Petra, actual Petra (the crown jewel of the tour), the amazing rock formations and different colored sand in wadi rum (as well as seeing the stars at night), and the glass boat tour of Aqaba, before the hot springs an Dead Sea. You won’t regret going on this tour!

Full Day Private Trip To Petra, Wadi Rum

Neeor_Z, Dec 2025

Unforgettable + 5* Host

Petra and Wadi Rum itself are unforgettable and well worth the journey. Our host Bader provided an extremely friendly, professional and organised service. He made sure we got to everywhere on time and that all activities were prepared before our arrival, explained the history of Jordan and the sites, took us to real quality souvenir shops and explained what to avoid, stopped and bought us local snacks and drinks, even dropped us off at the airport afterwards, and provided all this with an amicable smile and great conversation. All in all it made for an extremely smooth and stress free day, thank you to Bader for making this trip extra special

Private Street Food and Walking Tour Amman Downtown

Elizabeth_H, Dec 2025

Take this tour! You will be glad you did!!

This 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.

Day Tour Jerash, Ajloun and Umm Qais From Amman

Apinder_G, Dec 2025

Jerash, Anjlun Castle, and Umm Qayas

We had an excellent experience with our private driver, Faisal Abu Rashed. He was incredibly knowledgeable, courteous, and made our entire trip feel smooth and safe. Faisal went above and beyond—he helped us purchase genuine Jordanian stones (Aventurine) at a very fair price, brought us fresh pomegranate juice, and introduced us to fantastic local eateries we would have never found on our own. He also made us aware of local scammers/ticket procedures and shared insightful information about every tourist site we visited. His professionalism and warm personality truly enhanced our time in Jordan. Highly recommend Faisal to anyone looking for a trustworthy and exceptional driver!

Remya_P, Sep 2025

Highly recommended guided tour!

Had a great experience with Orwa. He took us through the beautiful streets and bazaars. He let us try some local delicacies and also suggested good eateries to try out. He explained the history of the place well and it was great to see the place from a local point of view. Super friendly with an amazing spirit !
