Is this tour really private, or will I share with other travelers?

This is a fully private tour exclusively for your party. You'll have your own vehicle and driver, allowing you to set the pace and spend extra time at sites that interest you most.

What's included in the EUR 245 price?

The price covers your private air-conditioned vehicle, professional driver, pickup and drop-off from your location, and access to the main attractions: King Abdullah Mosque, Citadel with Archaeological Museum, Roman Amphitheater, Jordan Museum, and Royal Automobile Museum. Check if museum entry fees are included or quoted separately.

How much of the tour involves walking?

Expect moderate walking, especially at the Citadel (hilltop site with steps) and Roman Amphitheater. Other stops like museums and neighborhoods involve lighter walking. Wear comfortable shoes and bring water.

Can I skip certain sites or add shopping time?

Yes. Private tours offer flexibility — discuss your preferences with your driver before the tour starts. You can shorten time at any site or extend free time for shopping on Rainbow Street or in the Abdali Boulevard malls.

What's the best time of day to start this tour?

Early morning (7–8 a.m.) is ideal. You'll avoid midday heat, experience sites with fewer crowds, and have better light for photography at the Citadel and Amphitheater.

Do I need to book museum entries in advance?

Museum entry is not always pre-booked on private tours. Confirm with your operator whether admissions are included or if your driver will purchase tickets on-site. Advance booking can speed up entry at peak times.

So nice this one, the carvings on the main temple wall was amazing and Giulia the guide explain everything good. Better than Porto for sure, we go again!

our guide Andrei was nice enough, but the frescoes inside the chapel felt a bit rushed honestly. Used it for our summer trip. Would only really suit you if youre not fussy, 2 solid hours of history. Bit disappointed ngl, 2 solid hours of history.

our guide Mei couldnt do enough for us and the frescoes inside the chapel was the highlight, and mid-week so it was quiet.

our guide Priya really knew their stuff and the hidden crypt the guide unlocked was the highlight, and worked great for a solo traveller like me, and covered 3 sites in one go, tbh
