City day tour of Amman - Our guide tooke us through the old city of Amman. We walked through the back "alleys" where the Amman people do their shopping...the food markets, the sewing and cloth market, the little eating establishments...it was wonderful! We want to thank our guide but do not have his name! Gave us umbrellas as it was raining!
Our confirmation number was #1078992263 and our Booking Reference number was #1464749105... We met at the parking lot of a mosque that was under renovation...Need help in finding this great guide!!!!!!!!!

Excellent Customer Service - We worked with Esra on booking our tour out of Amman. Our trip was also to include a week in Israel, departing out of Tel Aviv to head home. Unfortunately, the war broke out shortly before we were to depart and had to cancel everything. So while we were unable to complete out trip, Esra was very professional, very helpful and prompt in responding to emails as we navigated the options and changes. I will definitely be reaching out to rebook when we can get back there!!!

City tour of Amman. - You don’t want to do this without a guide. The levels of civilization must be explained. The museum on the citadel was our tour favorite with remains from all over Jordan. This is the place to begin to understand everything else in Jordan. The markets of vegetables and spices were one of our all time favorite experiences. Nour guide not only led us in sampling, he told us how to cook many different dishes. The auto museum is astounding and beautifully done with background film’s showing the cars in actual use.

Best Tour of Amman - I really enjoyed visiting both the historic sites and the Jordan Museum. I learned a lot about Jordan at the museum, which has some of the Dead Sea Scrolls! My guide was wonderful, both knowledgeable and considerate. I would absolutely recommend this tour as the best way to see Amman.

Professionally Managed Tour - Jordan Select is very professionally managed. I had very good satisfactory experience in my tour with them. Travelling during the pandemic is stressful with many queries to be answered and I would say a BIG thank you to Mr. Omar and Ms.Shireen who were always on my call and mail to answer me. The positives in dealing with them were;
1. Quick reply to all my mails and queries. Attending to all calls made.
2. Multiple Customization of my itinerary
3.
Our driver and friend, Mr. Essam was just too good. He speaks good English and he gave very good information along our day trips.
Mr. Mouad was before time at the airport with our Visas and arranged quick completion of process of exit from the airport.

Dinner and quick tour of Amman - We only had 6 hours in Amman for a flight layover & we wanted to take the opportunity to get out of the airport & see what we could see. Amira suggested a dinner reservation & a quick car tour of Mount Nebo and some shops. Amira was great - so accommodating and suggested just the right things for just the right amount of time. He gave us some history of the things we were looking at and also talked to us about how life in Jordan is. Highly recommend.
