What a lovely way to wonder around the city! It's a great way to see the city, the markets and to try some food. He knows everyone and guides you around with ease. The tour gives you a great understanding of the city and a satisfied tummy! I've seen so many different foods, the preparation of foods and even the gold market. 5 stars!

I enjoy taking a Walking Tour when arriving in a new city. It’s a good chance to get oriented and feel more comfortable. Today’s tour was interesting and informative. I was the only person on the tour, but Ibrahim was still kind enough to meet me and show me around. He has a lot of experience guiding in Amman, and he has lived and worked in other places. Ibrahim generously provided me with his contact information, so I can ask him so other questions about Amman or Jordan during my time here. I can recommend taking a walking tour with Ibrahim.
