Lovely food tour, delicious food and we were full by the end - We had a lovely tour with Jumana. It turned out we were the only two people on the tour so it was a private one for us! She was very knowledgeable and good company as a guide and told us a lot of culture and history facts too. The food stops were great and by the end we were full! We did not eat lunch and we went to the evening tour and I would recommend no lunch! There was loads of food, sweet and savoury, including a traditional Jordan dessert and some amazing handmade ice cream. Good value for money too. Thank you Jumana!

Best food tour experience we have ever had, and the highlight of our trip to Jordan! - We did the food tour in Amman with our guide, Jumana, and it is without a doubt our favorite food tour we have done to date, and the absolute highlight of our trip to Jordan. The food was incredible, there was so much variety, and we were able to try things that we never would have found or ordered off the menu ourselves. We even went back to the falafel shop that Jumana had taken us to the next day. When we travel back to Jordan again, we would do this food tour a second time because it is just that good! I cannot recommend it enough!

A must do when in Jordan - We had a wonderful experience which exceeded all expectations. Jumana took us to all the hidden food jems which we would never have gone without her. It was fun, informative and local - we all loved it!! Thanks Jumana!

A fantastic experience! - We had a fabulous day which started with bobbing about in the Dead Sea and finished with us being full to the eyeballs with the most delicious and amazing food in Amman. Our guide Jumana was great fun to be with - she made everything perfect for us and managed to keep our 7-year old son engaged throughout. Her nerves of steel behind the wheel in rush hour traffic in downtown Amman will live long in the memory, as will her patience, kindness and knowledge of the best that Amman has to offer.

Food, Fun, and Fullness! - Highly recommend Amman Food Tours. I try to do a food tour in every foreign capital I visit and this one was exceptional. First off, Lindsay was very accommodating to our specific requests on time and place. Second, our guide Jumana was great fun and very plugged in to Amman, and guided us not only with the food but also shopping and general cultural knowledge. As a true Jordanian she seems to know everyone and curated a top notch experience. The falafels on Rainbow St are life changing - I have vowed to never eat another falafel again because this was THE best and it will only go down hill from there. All the food and drink we had were so tasty and were truly some of the best of the best throughout our entire time in Jordan. The people of Jordan were so kind and welcoming and I would encourage anyone to visit and especially to book an Amman Food Tour.

A must-do when you visit Amman - We had a great time with Jumana! We (family of 4, including 2 teenagers) did the 5 hours tour, so we started with some sightseeing and afterwards enjoyed the lovely food of Amman. An excellent start of our visit to Jordan and Amman. Jumana knows her way around very well and she was a very nice and sparkling host :-)

A great introduction to the city. - Doing a food tour is a great introduction to any city.Jumana not only introduced us to local food but also to some typically Lebanese fabrics and fashions in the downtown area. We experienced zaatar mangosheh WeWwe had never had before. We visited the sugar market and tasted some of the fresh fruit, dates and spiced nuts from the area. We experienced the best flatbread that we've ever had and, had keftah with taking, mutabbal and arayes. At the end there was knafey which was delicious and not as sweet as many of the others. We had to forego tea and coffee as we were too full. It was quite an enjoyable food tour and Jumana's personality made a difference. I

Real Jordanian Cultural Experience - Pros:Tour guide Jumana, was charming, friendly, and informative. Felt like she was a good friend showing us her neighborhood. Cons: over priced...should either have more varieties of foods and beverages or cost less.
