Excellent tour with Hassan

Excellent tour of beautiful, interesting Amman with Hassan. He is very knowledgeable and very informed about his country. He was also very patient with my many questions about the city and the sights. Great day!

Effective way to cover main attractions in 1 day

We enjoyed our tour around Amman with our driver Isa, who was very kind and patient with us. We covered all the main attractions in the city and finished the tour with a very good lunch! Thank you.

Full-Day Private Ancient and Modern Amman Tour was worth it!

It's best to do this and have a guide at the Citadel, because you'll learn so much history. Having a private, air-conditioned car in the summer months is a must! Adding on the Jordan Museum to see the Dead Sea Scrolls was a great experience, as well as the Royal Automobile Museum.

Great experience

Mr Firas provided an excellent service, both as a driver and a tour guide. He was very friendly, punctual and helpful in communicating with local people. I’m sure I will contact the company again if I’m back to Jordan.

Excellent Tour but needs more time

Excellent day tour of Amman and saw all the main sites. You only get a guide at the Citadel but the driver was very knowledgeable and shared information along the way. I booked with lunch which was amazing but the tour is far too rushed at 6 hours with the lunch combined. Twenty minutes in a museum is just not enough. Great trip just spoiled a little by the time factor.
