What are people saying about Amman

Kimberly_J, Apr 2026

Omar was so kind!

Omar was so friendly and knowledgeable as our driver and drop-offs at all the amazing sites we visited. He was even generous enough to take us out of our way to Pink Lake for a small price. He knew English extremely well, and was so friendly and personable! So great to meet you, and my two girls and I felt safe in your hands!

Everything was organised...

Everything was organised so well on this trip, our driver Ibrahim was lovely and informative and made sure we were comfortable the whole time particularly on the longer drives. Petra was incredible and the Bedouin camp was great with absolutely amazing food and so many options - all super fresh and delicious we were really impressed. Truck tour in wadi rum was really fun - we got to drive a little! And the star gazing was something else - would recommend to anyone.

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

JANSENFANGHUR_T, Feb 2026

Best driver to recommend I would like to personally and grateful thank my driver today. His name is Mahmoud ALKHAWAJA.

Wonderful experience to Petra and Wadi rum A special shout-out and thanks to our driver today. His name is Mahmoud ALKHAWAJA. He has been an awesome driver and his personality is fantastic and so friendly. I got lost at Petra and exited from a different exit. Although pressured for time to pick the others, he went out of his way, to pick me at my "wrong" entrance location. For this, being a lost tourist unfamiliar with the local location, this has been so helpful, and he didn't leave me stranded. Please kindly recognise his top level service and driving level and if possible, please give him some financial incentives from the company to reward his good and kind efforts. Write a message

Amman Petra Full-Day Trip

An Outstanding Petra Tour Experience

Our Petra tour was truly unforgettable, and it was made exceptional by the wonderful people who guided us through it. I was on this trip with my mother, and from start to finish we felt genuinely taken care of. Our driver, Mohammed, was absolutely fantastic. He is joyful, entertaining, and full of positive energy. From the very beginning, he made us feel comfortable and relaxed, turning the journey into a fun and memorable experience. Our conversations were lighthearted and full of laughter, and the drive never once felt long. His warmth and kindness truly set the tone for a perfect day. Once in Petra, we were guided by Khalia, whose knowledge and storytelling were outstanding. Over the course of two hours, he walked us through Petra's history in such a clear and sequential way that it felt like we were living the story rather than just hearing it. His passion, depth of information, and ability to connect the events made the entire journey come alive before our eyes. Thanks to Mohammed and Khalid, this experience was more than just a tour — it was a beautiful journey filled with stories, laughter, and lasting memories that my mother and I will cherish forever. Highly recommended.

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.

Private Panoramic Amman Tour and Local Lunch or Dinner-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!!!

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.

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

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.

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 !
