Felt like a family member was our tour guide - Our guide was absolutely amazing. It was like visiting a cousin. He took us through the city like we were truly family. I learned so much about Jordan past and present on the tour. I really wished he was our guide during our entire stay. On this tour I was with my brother but, I often travel alone and would have felt totally safe with our guide. He really felt like my Jordanian cousin. We told him if he ever comes to the United States we would be happy to be his guides

Amman like a Local - Orwah was a wonderful kind and knowledgeable guide! He met communicated excellently, met us exactly where he said he would, and shared many insights and information with us we otherwise would never have known or understood - facts and fun antidotes. Thorough and exciting!

Very interesting tour... - Very interesting tour with plenty of opportunity to try some bites and learn about Jordan and Amman. My guide was Orwah who was not only a lovely person in general but knew a lot about Amman and its history as well as about Jordan and the many traditions. This is the perfect start to get your bearings a bit before diving head first into exploring on your own.

Great experience with local - The experience with a local makes a big difference: it guides you between the streets, you interact with people and you integrate into the daily activities of Jordanians. It is invaluable to have someone from the area to venture through the market and understand authentically the food, customs and how they relate. At the center, many people don’t speak English, so the support of a local is key to guiding you, better understanding what you see and discovering interesting areas to visit. We even had a casual food tasting with vendors on the street and in small shops (if you have a sensitive stomach, you may not want to try everything and be a little selective). Keep in mind that this is an experience accompanied by a local, not necessarily by a professional tour guide, so you will not always receive detailed historical explanations. Still, we did get some additional context during the tour.

Markets of Amman - Orwah was a great guide around the various markets of Amman. He’s full of facts/figures and loves to share many stories of Jordan & his life here. We walked a lot, so be prepared with good shoes, but we were able to cover so much in just a couple hours because of his energy, knowledge & lots of local pointers. Highly recommend to see things you won’t with just a guidebook!!
