Fantastic guide (Hassan), excellent tour of Citadel n' a great local lunch.
I had 4 days in Jordan n' with full-day tours of Petra and Jerash/Dead Sea already booked (see separate T/A reviews), wanted to see the Citadel, Roman Theatre in Amman but after hiking Petra, thought my ol'legs would give out, so booked this day tour of Citadel (Umayyad Palace), Roman Theatre a few other sights n' "local" lunch. My guide (Hassan Alqurnih) was excellent; a truly local man, most knowledgeable of local history n' culture and quite flexible with my options. After an extensive Citadel tour, did Rainbow St by car and the "Embassy" area, then Hassan look me to his own personal eating spot (.......I asked for it). Perfect tour, guide and options. Fantastic !!

Overall a trip worth doing when you’re in Amman and the tour provider is reliable.
Tour company was responsive when I updated them of my hotel location. The driver was on time and speaks English pretty well. The visit to Jerash and Citadel was like a step back to history.

An authentic Jordanian experience
My guide Mahmoud was superb. I like to learn about the society of the country I am visiting as well as see the sights and in this respect Mahmoud was brilliant, providing me with wonderful insights about the people of this great country. I do not drink so Mahmoud offered to replace the wine tasting with a Turkish Hammam experience which is really something. Don’t go for the “hard” massage unless you’re prepared to be seriously pummeled. The dinner at a local, non tourist restaurant was first class. Really great traditional Arab food. I thoroughly enjoyed this experience and Mahmoud’s company and cannot recommend this experience more highly.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your comments and for sharing your experience with us. The nicest complement that our team can get is your desire to return to Jordan with us. We are truly happy to learn that you enjoyed your holiday with us and even, it was difficult to leave. What a complement indeed! Looking forward to your next visit.

Private Amman City Sightseeing with Optional Arabic Mezze Lunch and Turkish Bath: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Amman.
How much does Private Amman City Sightseeing with Optional Arabic Mezze Lunch and Turkish Bath cost?
+
Prices start at $127 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Amman usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Private Amman City Sightseeing with Optional Arabic Mezze Lunch and Turkish Bath take?
+
Plan for about 4 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Amman is not rushed.
Is Private Amman City Sightseeing with Optional Arabic Mezze Lunch and Turkish Bath worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 61 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 across 26 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Amman, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Private Amman City Sightseeing with Optional Arabic Mezze Lunch and Turkish Bath?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Private Amman City Sightseeing with Optional Arabic Mezze Lunch and Turkish Bath suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Amman City Sightseeing with Optional Arabic Mezze Lunch and Turkish Bath?
+
Around 9 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Amman can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Amman and add a light layer if any part of the 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Amman City Sightseeing with Optional Arabic Mezze Lunch and Turkish Bath start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Amman within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Amman?
+
On Outty we rank every Amman experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include From Amman: Petra and Wadi rum Private/Group Full day Tour, Petra, Wadi Rum, Dead Sea 4 Days 3 nights, From Amman :Private or Group Full day tour to Petra. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Amman?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Amman?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
