Most Excellent Time

Kevin_W, Aug 2023

I took the panoramic tour along with the cooking class. I have been to Amman many times and on the driving tour a learned even more about Amman. The driver (Raed) was flexible with what we saw and shared his personal family history in Amman. The cooking class was a lot of fun. The hosts were excellent and provide all of us the opportunity to interact and be part of preparing and cooking the meal. And the meal was amazing. They even let me take the leftovers as takeaway. I was glad that I did the tour and class.

If you like cooking, take this tour!

Judith_S, Oct 2021

This is a great experience. We so enjoyed learning about Jordanian foods and spices. And our hostess showed us great techniques as well. It would have been helpful to know the name of the location, Beit Sitti, prior to the experience as they have a great website with recipes and explanation. All spices are for sale as well. Wine, however, with your meal is an additional fee. This was not fully explained.

Response from Host, Oct 2021

Thank you. Your note were well received, kindly note that the name was mentioned in the tour description, as for the wine it was also mentioned under the Not Include section. Looking forward to having you, your family, and friends with us again.

A Great Cultural Experience!

Bob, Feb 2020

Wafa, the leader of the class, was just amazing. Loved the setting in the family home (since 1940 I believe). The food we prepared and ate taught us a lot about Jordan. A must do when visiting.
