A Very Good Walking Tour
One of the better walking tours we've taken. Our guide led us through several markets, explained the local products, helped us with purchases, and gave us good insight into Jordanian culture. Even bought us some local Kunafa, and gave us a tour of the "Blue Mosque" as bonuses. No problem recommending this tour.
Response from the operator: Thank you. Looking forward to having you, your family, and friends with us again.

Not as expected
First let me say that Zaid was very nice and his driving skills were very good. That said, the tour was not as described. His English skills were very limited. Based on the description, we expected to be led on a walking tour with a guide that would describe the areas we were in. Instead, we were driven to areas where he intended to just let us out to walk around on our own. We asked that he come with us, which he did but with the limited English we got little to no information. If you're interested in being driven around then exploring on your own, this tour could work for you (driving in Amman is challenging and we felt safe with his driving). If you want a tour where the guide informs you about Amman, this tour does not fit the bill.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your comments that are well noted, please take into consideration that local Escort Drivers – Guides in Jordan might not speak as fluent as native English Speaking. Part of this tour is exploring and walking on your own, with the company of our staff to assist you with the highlights to explore and experience a new culture, as well as places that you are not familiar with.

Evening Tour during Ramadan
Our driver was the lovely Basel.He was amusing and so laidback nothing was ever too much trouble. We did this during Ramadan in April and picked the 6pm slot. Tip: during Ramadan best to pick an earlier or later slot as by 6pm everything was shutting down for Iftar but it still worked out ok. Basel improvised and took us to King Abdullah mosque first which was lovely & peaceful and like everywhere we went in Jordan so welcoming to non muslims. Then he dropped us off to wander around downtown by which time it was heaving with people breaking their fast and then we drove around a few main districts and ended up in Rainbow Street which is surprisingly long and with a steep incline at the other end of it. Rainbow St was ok but I think it's probably livelier when it's not Ramadan.We felt super safe throughout.
Response from the operator: Thank you. Looking forward to having you, your family, and friends with us again.

Tour of Amman
A couple of months ago i took this very unique tour, the private Half Day Walking Tour of Amman. I had a wonderful afternoon exploring the city of Amman with my personal driver and guide Hassan!!! He was very kind, helpful and knowledgeable, which made my experience absolutly amazing!!! He gave me a fantastic insight of the city and the country, its culture and the gastronomy. I had the chance to walk around the Souk, try some special street food and walk around Rainbow Street. The agency, Zaid Tours, was very helpful and professional. They gracelly designed a personalized tour, where i also got to see Amman’s Roman Theater and the Citadel This tour is a MUST if you are visiting Amman!!!
Response from the operator: Thank you. Looking forward to having you, your family, and friends with us again.

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private Walking Tour of Amman with Optional Street Food Experience: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Amman.
How much does Private Walking Tour of Amman with Optional Street Food Experience cost?
+
Prices start at $80 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 Walking Tour of Amman with Optional Street Food Experience 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 Walking Tour of Amman with Optional Street Food Experience worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 57 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.3/5 across 6 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 Walking Tour of Amman with Optional Street Food Experience?
+
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 Walking Tour of Amman with Optional Street Food Experience 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 Walking Tour of Amman with Optional Street Food Experience?
+
Around 2 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 Walking Tour of Amman with Optional Street Food Experience 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, From Amman :Private or Group Full day tour to Petra, Petra, Wadi Rum, Dead Sea 4 Days 3 nights. 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.
