Highly recommended - Orwah spoke very good English, and was very knowledgeable. The tour was quite enjoyable and a good way to be introduced to the downtown area of Amman. He also referred us to a great restaurant afterwards.

Nice tour in Amman - With a local Guide explores the city. Visited many souks, tasted many and heard many stories. In all the hustle and bustle, the Guide managed to highlight the city's beautiful spots.

Great tour of downtown Amman - Orwah shows the real downtown, taking you on a tour of the markets and backstreets that you almost certainly wouldn’t do/know how to do on your own, explaining the culture and the history as you go. It was exactly what I wanted from the tour, a brilliant way to spend a couple of hours

Great introduction to Downtown Amman Markets - Orwah was really friendly and helpful. He took time to explain about the markets and the culture of Jordan. Very knowledgeable guide and who explained and showed us a wide selection of foods and goods in the markets in depth, great way to start our first ever visit to Amman. Even at the end of our tour he went out of his way to take us to a great local restaurant and ensure we could find our way back to our hotel. Would recommend this if you want to spend time with a local guide and see the real downtown Amman.

Market focused - 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.
