Wonderful guide and experience!

Veronica_H, Dec 2023

Orwah was a wonderful guide and I had a great time on this tour. As I was traveling alone, the guide went out of his way to make sure I was happy and taken care of as well as giving me lots of insight into Jordanian life, history, and a number of tastes of the country’s delicious food! I traveled extensively, and have been on many tours, and would highly recommend this one!

Great walking tour

Shelley_D, Sep 2023

Fantastic walking/food tour with Orwah albakri this afternoon from 2pm till 5pm. Orwah went out of his way to give us the opportunity to see the real Amman Old Town and New Town. Interesting information throughout the tour and so much energy and enthusiasm. We tried so many different tit-bits of food from the markets which gave us a real flavour of the amazing Jordanian food and culture. Everyone was so friendly. Highly recommend doing this tour.

Response from Host, Sep 2023

thank you for your kind review, we're pleased that you enjoyed your activity with Orwa, he's one of our best guides, wishing you all the best and safe travels

Liliana_G, Apr 2023

The person is not a guide. Changed meeting point and wanted tip before the tour. When we refused he started yelling at us. At that point we were concerned for our safety and left! This was Amman walking tour on April 10th at 2 pm.

Response from Host, May 2023

thank you for taking the time to write your feedback, first of all your booking was for one person and you brought two more people to join the tour, the tour guide asked you to pay for these two people not for tip, then you refused to pay and wanted to change the tour route to go to different sites and the guide explained that he has a particular route for the tour and you refused to join the tour and asked for a refund and we issued it immediately, furthermore you booked an airport transfer with us in the same day and when the driver came he waited for you for 45 minutes and tried to reach out to you, you ignored his calls and texts for no reason and we had to compensate his wasted time and effort, we don't know what's the motive to write such false and misleading feedback, we wish you all the best anyways. best wishes

A great experience. I recommend it!

MarkB, Feb 2023

It was a great to experience the market, sample some food and view historical ruins. I would do it again for the experience.

Response from Host, Feb 2023

Fantastic downtown tour

Paula_b, Nov 2022

What a great way to end our holiday. We spent over 2 hours walking through the downtown. Abed was a fantastic guide and we learnt so much about the culture in Jordan. We sampled food and drink and both absolutely loved it. Wasn’t sure what to expect but it was great. Highly recommended. Great communication too.

Response from Host, Nov 2022

thank you Paula for taking the time to write your feedback, we're happy that you enjoyed the tour with Abed, we hope to be always with your trust and good judgement. looking forward to seeing you again in jordan Best regards, Wahsh & crew

Afternoon stroll

Dorothy_A, Nov 2022

The visit and Jordanian food samples at Habibea and Hashem were excellent and well worth the visit. The bird and meat markets were very interesting and we would not have found them on our own. Our guide was very helpful. He was slow to,get motivated but it went well in the end.

Rosalind_F, Sep 2022

My guide wouldn’t do the tour unless I paid him in tips, an additional 10 Jordanian dinars. I was very disappointed in his attitude, and consequently cancelled the tour. How do I get reimbursed?

Response from Host, Oct 2022

Hello Rosaline, thank you for taking the time to write your comment, the tour guide was mistaken, we had other customers who joined the tour that day and had to pay in cash for it (they booked last minute over the phone). we had addressed the issue with you regarding that misunderstanding and issued a full refund for the payment and offered a free tour for the inconveniences happened but you didn't accept due to other arrangements you had, anyways we hope to see you again in the nearest future joining our activities. best wishes, wahsh & crew

Good tour!

jacklyntaylor, Jul 2022

Ibrahim was a great guide. He showed us around places that we would never have found ourselves and explained all the cultural and historical links to everything. Also gave us some great tips on where to go to try foods!

Ok tour but over priced for what it is.

Louise_R, Mar 2022

The tour guide was great but not really worth the money. Just saw the markets which was great but nothing else or other more prominent sites of Amman

Response from Host, May 2022

Hi Louise, thank you for taking the time to write your feedback, we arrange the walking tour for our customers so they can have the chance to get to know the culture and how locals live here, in addition to point out the main tourist attractions in downtown like roman theater, Nymphaeum, Hashemite Plaza, and Amman citadel, and show you some good shops for food, dessert and other things, the tour lasts for about two hours on foot with a licensed guide, all that for about $20. We feel sorry that you didn't enjoy it, please let us know next time when you visit Jordan we will arrange a city tour for you by car on the house. best wishes, Wahsh and crew
