What's included in the base price?

Private vehicle, guide, and sightseeing tour of Amman's main attractions (Citadel, downtown, souks, historic quarters, and modern districts). Entrance fees to the Citadel and optional cooking/wine tasting experiences are not included.

Can I do this tour at night?

Yes, night tours are available and offer a different ambiance with illuminated landmarks and fewer crowds. However, many enclosed historical sites close in the evening, so night tours focus more on exterior views and neighborhood atmosphere than daytime interior exploration.

Is the cooking or wine tasting class included?

No, these are optional add-ons that can be booked separately. When added, they extend your total experience time and typically include hands-on preparation, tasting, and cultural instruction.

How much walking is involved?

Expect moderate walking, especially in the downtown souk area and at the Citadel. The terrain is often uneven with stairs, so comfortable, supportive walking shoes are strongly recommended.

What's the difference between day and night tours?

Day tours allow full access to archaeological sites, markets, and interiors; night tours showcase the city's illuminated landmarks and modern energy but exclude most paid attractions. Choose day for history and detail, night for atmosphere and unique perspectives.

Can I customize the itinerary?

As a private tour, there's flexibility to adjust stops and pacing based on your interests. Confirm modifications with your guide or tour operator when booking to ensure availability and any additional costs.

our host Yusuf was brilliant and a fish taco from a tiny street stall was the highlight ... Went last tuesday so it wasnt too busy. Handy if youre short on time, and tried about 8 dishes, and ideal with kids (ours are 6 and 9), and rolled home properly stuffed. Would book again no question.

our host Marco sorted everything for us and the warm baklava at the last stop was the highlight, and fine even with my dodgy knee, and rolled home properly stuffed.
