Informative 2 hour sightseeing tour with stops - Mohammed was a very good leader. Unfortunately, the hotel pickup did not work because the organizer did not forward our hotel change to him, although we confirmed.

Great tour sites - The tour stops were excellent especially as I didn’t really have an interest in the automobile museum, but ended up enjoying it nonetheless. There was a downside at the blue-domed mosque shop as I made a purchase of some cosmetics, but found on opening the product expired this month. So really a 4.5 rating. Driver Mahommod was excellent and very patient waiting when we stayed longer at one stop.

Half day tours are great - We discovered we had a free day and decided last minute to have a half day tour of Amman. Our Driver was so helpful. Showed us the key historical sites, provided helpful background information and waited patiently for us as we toured the sites. He made for a fun filled day!!

Pleasant half day tour - Our driver was pleasant. Car was clean and comfortable. Although not a guide he provided some information. Very convenient way to visit the highlights of Amman. He also took us to a handicraft store, he asked first which I appreciated. The store had a excellent selection.

Wonderful Transit Tour in Amman – A Perfect Way to Discover the City in a Short Time! - I had a 22-hour transit in Amman and wanted to make the most of it by exploring the city. I found this tour, and it turned out to be the perfect choice! In just a few hours, I was able to experience both the old and new parts of Amman. From historical landmarks and charming streets to modern neighborhoods, the tour covered a great mix of everything. The city itself has such a calm and welcoming atmosphere. I truly enjoyed walking through the quiet streets, learning about the history, and taking in the views. Even though the time was short, the tour was very well organized and made me feel like I really got to know Amman. Highly recommended for anyone with limited time who wants a meaningful experience in this beautiful city!

Great service, Nice city tour - This was a good city tour. We went to The Amman Citadel,Roman Theatre and King Abdullah Mosque. I found it expensive overall. £25 per adult for 3 site visits all in close proximity. Also, you have to pay entry fee for the Citadel and the Roman Theatre(2-3JD). Our Driver Rakan was the best. He was so kind and attentive to us. He was also helpful with carrying our buggy and helping us cross roads amongst busy traffic. He was always on hand looking out for us. Rakan is so good we used his services again for a trip to the Dead Sea.

Good enough for one day in amman - Good tour overall though could be better managed from a time perspective. Recommend visiting the mosque first as it was closed when we arrived after 5pm. My driver Mohammad should have planned this better. Also recommend skipping the shop as the mosque has a shop as well.

Taxi Service NOT a Tour - We had a great time, and the tour areas were excellent. Our driver was very nice. I gave it an average grade because it wasn't more than a taxi service. The driver spoke limited English and just dropped us off and waited for us at each site. I would like to have been given historical information about each site before visiting.

Disapointed - No ac in the car, wasnt taken to the whole tour because guide said the museums were closed, given yes he waited for us after we changed the time. The roman coloseum dropped us and said 20 min till closing. The mosque i would skip, during prayers you cant go in anyway. The citadel was great. I insisted the auto musuem would be open till.late he said no it was closed, and everything was different because if ramadan. I wish they would of informed us we could have changed the date. Basically an uber would of been better we paid $80 for nothing. Very disapointed with this tour.
