WHAT'S INCLUDED

WHAT TO EXPECT

1. Grand Husseini Mosque
One of the oldest mosques in Amman, rebuilt by King Abdullah I in 1932 on the site of the one built by the second Caliph, Omar Bin Al-Khattab around 640 AD. Tourists may be able to enter if dressed appropriately. Close to this mosque are two famous souqs: Souq Bukharia (good for getting souvenirs) and Souq Al-Sukar (fruit, vegetables, nuts and spices.)
2. The Duke's Diwan
This historic townhouse, built in 1924, has served as a post office (Amman's first), the Ministry of Finance and a hotel. Today, it has been restored with period furnishings by a prominent Jordanian businessman, who is also the duke of the village of Mukhaybeh. The collection of old photos of Amman provide an interesting glimpse of a bygone age. It's all quite underplayed, but rather charming nonetheless.
3.
Souk el-Khodra, or the vegetable market, is the perfect weekly destination for all your fresh fruits and vegetables. Much of the produce is locally grown and the prices are substantially more affordable than most supermarkets in Amman. Take a stroll through the souk and enjoy the abundance of fresh seasonal produce available while listening to the melodies of the traders songs, enticing you to their stalls, the tour guide will show you around.
4.
you will be tasting a sweet dish called Kunafa, made by The Habibah family who are making these sweets since the 1940s....so they must be doing something right.
5.
You will get to try the hidden gems, you will visit a countless number of shops in Amman Downtown from spices shops to making your own perfume, traditional clothing, and souvenirs and more.
6.
The Balad is the oldest section of the city which is made up of a myriad of markets. The area's long history leaves a large number of historical sites, such as the Amman Citadel, the Roman Theatre, and the Roman Nymphaeum which we will pass by during the tour

Orwah is a very knowledgable tour guide. During the tour, he introduced me to a lot of local merchants and vendors. I learned a great deal about the city of Jordan.

Ibrahim is a charismatic, funny guide. I rated this experience unfavourably because it was very market-focused and severely overpriced, with little emphasis on buildings, and it covered a very limited part of the city. We did not visit any buildings inside during the two-hour visit. If you have a limited interest in markets, you will feel the same, but if food and shopping are your thing, then you will likely enjoy it.

My guide was very nice all perfect considered that I booked with a very short notice. It is anyway a quick tour of Amman market and with a local you discover more than alone. I did not give 5 stars because price is too high.

Orwah is a very affable guide and his passion for his city shines through.

This was a great introduction to downtown Amman, to the smells and tastes that the city has to offer, to the stories of the people who live here and their hospitality, for which they are rightfully renowned.

This is a very nice walking tour of the night markets in Amman, i requested the guide pic us up at our hotel and he was very accomidating, i paid for the taxi to the market and on our way back he negotiated the cost of the taxi and we had no problems getting back to the hotel. I would not attempt to do this activity without a local guide, he gave us so much insight into the local flavour and culture. Cant go wrong with this tour.

We enjoyed a fast-paced tour of the very interesting downtown markets. Our guide did point out the main archeological sites (Citadel, Theater, Nymphaeum, etc), but we didn't have time to visit them. Perhaps a somewhat longer tour than included these cultural sites would have been better, for us at least. I do recommend this tour if you are staying at an apartment and want to buy some amazing food to cook!

A good introduction to Amman. We had a very friendly guide who took us round the markets and a couple of other places. We ate lots of tasty morsels given to us from the food stalls and a free drink. Our guide talked about the history of Jordan and life in present day Jordan.
Our guide even got my husband's sunglasses repaired ( for free! ) during the tour - an added bonus!
Overall I would recommend this tour for your first day in Amman

My wife and I enjoyed the private walking tour of the old downtown very much. We learned lots about the history as well as the way of life amongst the communities of locals as well as residence from Palestine, Yemen, Syrian, Eqyptian, etc calling Amman home. It changed my perspective from what we often read in the media and Jordan is safe!

Our guide was friendly, knowledgeable and showed us the best of Amman. He clearly is well known and highly regarded in the city. It was easy to communicate with him before the tour and he spoke excellent English. I would not hesitate to recommend him.
