A wonderful evening in Amman - Mahmoud provided an unforgettable experience. He is supremely knowledgeable about the history of this wonderful country and kindness and efficiency itself in making all arrangements. I don’t drink alcohol so Mahmoud offered a Turkish Hammam experience instead - highly recommended. The dinner was superb. I cannot recommend this company, this tour package, and Mahmoud highly enough.

A Very Well-Spent Three Hours in Amman - I found myself with several hours spare one evening. So I booked the Private Panoramic Tour of Amman with Local Lunch or Dinner. Boy am I glad I did. Although most of the ancient sites were closed for the day, I got to see some of them from the outside. But I was still able to visit an incredible mosque, the Roman amphitheater, Rainbow Street, and the bustling and super fun street market. I had some of the best shawerma I've had in years, and some kind of delicious hot dessert made from breaded goat cheese. My guide Basel was knowledgeable, interesting, and great fun to talk with. I highly recommend this tour.

At the end he had organised a feast, great food, at the end took us back to the airport.

Great start of our Jordan trip - We had a fantastic time! Our driver drove us safely to the planned stops. Car very comfortable and clean. It’s clear that it is not a guided tour, but we learned a lot also about just the life in Jordan. So it was a perfect start of our visit to Jordan. Food was excellent too !!! We were with two adults and two little children (4/2 years) and no problems at all!

What a waste of time and money - This was the most expensive taxi ride I have ever experienced. We did get the driver to stop so we could explore the Citadel and the Roman Amphitheater. We drove by the mosque and a couple other features of the city were pointed out in passing. We never stopped to explore the old gold and spice markets, as promised, nor did we see the Parliament Building or the Orthodox church. We didn't get to stroll among art galleries, nor did we wander around Rainbow Street. And we certainly didn't delve into any upscale neighborhoods with luxury shopping malls and swanky private villas. But our driver did regale us with the five pillars of Islam and explained why beautiful women and ugly women both loved wearing burkas, the former to avoid unwanted attention from strange men and the latter to trick men into marrying them. By lunchtime, we were so distressed we could hardly eat. All we wanted was to be taken back to our hotel. It will be interesting to see if the operator has the integrity to return our money.
