Awesome Tour - Orwa was an awesome tour guide! You can tell he really loves his country and is passionate about making your experience in Jordan special. He took me all over the downtown area and even surprised me with a few tasty treats which was completely unexpected but very thoughtful. I'm leaving this tour with way more knowledge about Jordan than I knew prior. Great experience and definitely recommend!

Orwah is the best - Orwah is an excellent guide. He will do everything to make your time with him pleasant and informative. We mostly enjoyed that he took us throughout the different markets, gave us to taste variety of foods but never pressured to buy from them unless we said to him we would like to. Orwah will ensure you know as much as possible about Amman and Jordanian lives, how to go about as a tourist and what not to miss. We couldn’t recommend him enough!

Wonderful guide and experience! - Orwah was a wonderful guide and I had a great time on this tour. As I was traveling alone, the guide went out of his way to make sure I was happy and taken care of as well as giving me lots of insight into Jordanian life, history, and a number of tastes of the country’s delicious food! I traveled extensively, and have been on many tours, and would highly recommend this one!

A must do when you are in Amman! - It was lovely seeing all the downtown with explanation of Orweh who knows all the ins and outs of the city and Jordan. We took our time to try some local snacks which were all lovely. It was an amazing experience and Orweh is like a friend who can answer all your questions about Amman, we had a lovely talk and coffee after the tour.
