Markets of Amman - Orwah was a great guide around the various markets of Amman. He’s full of facts/figures and loves to share many stories of Jordan & his life here. We walked a lot, so be prepared with good shoes, but we were able to cover so much in just a couple hours because of his energy, knowledge & lots of local pointers. Highly recommend to see things you won’t with just a guidebook!!

Very enjoyable tour & great guide - well worth it! - I booked my Amman city walking tour with Jordanizer earlier this month and had Orwah as my guide. I really enjoyed learning about Jordanian history, and culture and comparisons to other cultures, too. Along the way, he gave local food recommendations and I even received free food and Arabic coffee samples too! I highly recommend Jordanizer, and thanks again to Orwah for the tour.

Great experience - Our tour guide was Orwa and he was very knowledgeable! He taught us a lot about the history of the city and took us places where the locals frequent. He was very friendly and understanding and even bought us some snacks from the local vendors. We enjoyed our tour.

Great Way to see the markets - We had a great morning with Orwah. We saw the old market and new market. Learned about the Jordanian culture and had some treats along the way. He was very personable and seemed to know everyone!

Female Solo Traveler experience - Guide was super nice and knowledgeable about the area. I was a female solo traveler and was the only one on the tour. I felt safe. However, I did feel like a couple things could be changed about the tour. 1) go to the Roman theater, 2) ask the guests what they like to eat and not assume it’s everything 3) skip the live market 4) communicate slowly and spend more time focusing on culture and food
