What are people saying about Amman

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!

Brilliant whistlestop tour of Jordan - can’t recommend enough!
Absolutely brilliant experience exploring Jordan in a very short time.
Day 1: picked up from hotel in Amman and straight to Petra and were a mixed group from uk, us, russia, hungary and Italy.
It was about 2.5 /3 hours to Petra and We had 5 hours in Petra. I read some reviews saying this wasn’t sufficient time but we all found it enough and managed to see most of the sites and the monastery as well. You can make it if you get straight there and took about 1hr 30 to the furthest point at the monastery but it’s a fair walk and lots of stairs to get there.
Then straight onto wadi rum which was about 2 hours from sunset. This was absolutely incredible and the views and the calm tranquility was one of the highlights.
I stayed in a deluxe tent which was only about £30 more and well worth the price - as it had heating and ac as well as a private bathroom - it was like a hotel room rather than the smaller tents which don’t have toilets or heating and are more basic (depends on what you want)
The jeep tour was fantastic - remember both your thermals and sun cream as the sun is quite intense but also it’s pretty cold in the am (was there in Feb)
Next onto the Dead Sea which was about 4 hours so fairly long but we had toilet breaks and didn’t feel too bad.
2.5 hours at the Dead Sea for floating and mud soaking and then an hour ish back to Amman.
The tour guide jafar was fantastic - super knowledgable and got us around super efficiently. So grateful to his expertise!
Amazing trip and leaving feeling culturally fulfilled but also rested and recharged despite a full schedule!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

Do it!
It was a long day but we'll worth it. Petra was beautiful! The Dead Sea was an amazing experience! We had extra time and the driver arranged for us to include mount nebo. Maen was fantastic! He was friendly and helpful and took care of all day! Highly recommend!

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 !
