Best food tour experience we have ever had, and the highlight of our trip to Jordan! - We did the food tour in Amman with our guide, Jumana, and it is without a doubt our favorite food tour we have done to date, and the absolute highlight of our trip to Jordan. The food was incredible, there was so much variety, and we were able to try things that we never would have found or ordered off the menu ourselves. We even went back to the falafel shop that Jumana had taken us to the next day. When we travel back to Jordan again, we would do this food tour a second time because it is just that good! I cannot recommend it enough!

A must do when in Jordan - We had a wonderful experience which exceeded all expectations. Jumana took us to all the hidden food jems which we would never have gone without her. It was fun, informative and local - we all loved it!! Thanks Jumana!

A fantastic experience! - We had a fabulous day which started with bobbing about in the Dead Sea and finished with us being full to the eyeballs with the most delicious and amazing food in Amman. Our guide Jumana was great fun to be with - she made everything perfect for us and managed to keep our 7-year old son engaged throughout. Her nerves of steel behind the wheel in rush hour traffic in downtown Amman will live long in the memory, as will her patience, kindness and knowledge of the best that Amman has to offer.

Food, Fun, and Fullness! - Highly recommend Amman Food Tours. I try to do a food tour in every foreign capital I visit and this one was exceptional. First off, Lindsay was very accommodating to our specific requests on time and place. Second, our guide Jumana was great fun and very plugged in to Amman, and guided us not only with the food but also shopping and general cultural knowledge. As a true Jordanian she seems to know everyone and curated a top notch experience. The falafels on Rainbow St are life changing - I have vowed to never eat another falafel again because this was THE best and it will only go down hill from there. All the food and drink we had were so tasty and were truly some of the best of the best throughout our entire time in Jordan. The people of Jordan were so kind and welcoming and I would encourage anyone to visit and especially to book an Amman Food Tour.

A must-do when you visit Amman - We had a great time with Jumana! We (family of 4, including 2 teenagers) did the 5 hours tour, so we started with some sightseeing and afterwards enjoyed the lovely food of Amman. An excellent start of our visit to Jordan and Amman. Jumana knows her way around very well and she was a very nice and sparkling host :-)

A great introduction to the city. - Doing a food tour is a great introduction to any city.Jumana not only introduced us to local food but also to some typically Lebanese fabrics and fashions in the downtown area. We experienced zaatar mangosheh WeWwe had never had before. We visited the sugar market and tasted some of the fresh fruit, dates and spiced nuts from the area. We experienced the best flatbread that we've ever had and, had keftah with taking, mutabbal and arayes. At the end there was knafey which was delicious and not as sweet as many of the others. We had to forego tea and coffee as we were too full. It was quite an enjoyable food tour and Jumana's personality made a difference. I

Excellent tour with a great guide! - My wife and I had an excellent experience on the food tour. Our guide, Jumana was excellent, and she gave us the opportunity to try a wide range of local food and drinks, which were all delicious! We especially loved going through the market, trying all the fresh and preserved produce. Jumana also told us more about the history of the food, as well as the area and local customs. She even helped us find some activities for the next day as well, and was always really helpful with any questions. We highly recommend this tour for anyone interested in food, knowing more about Jordanian tradition, and getting to know Amman more. Thank you Jumana!

Awesome, delicious experience - We just loved the food tour with Jumana. She is an excellent guide, who seems to know everyone in downtown Amman - and everyone seems to know Jumana! As well as taking us to the best foodie destinations, all of which produced delicious and interesting food, Jumana provided great insights into Jordanian culture and daily life; and into the links between food and culture. We totally enjoyed all the food, but the freshly baked Zatar pita, Mansaf, Knefeh and of course the fresh juices were standouts. Highly recommend, but make sure you start hungry!

Fantastic Introduction to Amman! - Joumana was an excellent tour guide for this experience--she is personable, knowledgeable and full of great stories about her family life and childhood in Amman. The food was of course, amazing, and we all learned a lot about the many local dishes we tried. We will definitely go back to Al Quds for falafel sandwiches and Habibi sweets for knafeh! The markets were wonderful and we sampled tons of different olives and nuts and ended the evening with mint tea and Arabic ice cream. All in all, it was an wonderful evening and I highly recommend Joumana and Amman Food Tours to any visitors to Amman!

Lovely tour to experience Amman's food culture - We had a lovely time with Jumana and enjoyed a lot of great food. We especially liked that she supports small local businesses and you get to visit restaurants and markets that you would normally not visit as a tourist. In addition she also gave us a lot of facts regarding Amman's history and current situation.
