Chowing Down in Amman - It was an outstanding epicurean and cultural experience, led by an enthusiastic guide, Jumana. We sampled appetizers, drinks, produce, spices, main courses and deserts, the majority in old town Amman’s streets and alleyways. We highly recommend this food tour as the best guided food tour we have taken for epicurean and cultural experience. Don’t miss it and bring your appetite!

A memorable, fun and delicious food tour - My husband, 18 year old son and I just spend a day with Jumana visiting the citadel and amphitheatre before eating our way through the streets of Amman. She is clearly liked and known by the local shop keepers and goes out of her way to give you access to a variety of foods that would be difficult to access on your own. Jumana was entertaining, friendly, knowledgeable and went out of her way to show us around the city. Highly recommend.

Excellent food and excellent guide. Jordan is SAFE. - We are Americans and Jordan is a very, very safe place to travel. If you are worried about safety, do not be worried, it is very safe. My wife and I had an excellent experience with our guide Jumana. We ate many Jordanian dishes toured markets, had the national dish of Jordan and had desserts. We started with za'atar Manakish and continued to a falafel stand. We also went to the sugar market where we were showing all the fruits and vegetables and we ate some nuts, multiple olives and some dates. We saw the guy making some bread and slamming the bread against the inside of a tandoor oven to cook it. Then we went inside to have a couple of lamb dishes. We then had the national Jordanian dish of mansaf. We finished with a couple of desserts including the Jordanian ice cream. Jumana is an excellent guide. She kept the evening going, kept everybody engaged, told us other things about the sites we were seeing while recommending different restaurants along the way. Nobody could eat all of the food that we had. It was so much. This tour was noted as a 3-hour tour. Our tour actually lasted closer to 4 hours and it was interesting for everyone of those 4 hours. I highly, highly recommend this tour.

Jumana Gave Our Family a Wonderful Food Tour Experience - Jumana was our guide and provided us a fabulous food experience showing us the range of different cuisines and where to find them. She has long standing relationships with the different owners and was very knowledgeable and entertaining to us. We learned a lot about the food and its history. Would certainly recommend her to anyone considering a food tour around Amman.

Great Tour of Rainbow Street and Downtown Amman - My wife and I took this tour, with one other person, in mid December; the weather was cool with a little drizzle. We experienced Rainbow Street, as well as the crowded but vibrant Sugar Market and lower downtown. The food was great, and Jumana was a superb guide, patient with my fussy eating, and like every Jordanian we met, very proud of her wonderful country. The falafel especially was head and shoulders above anything we've ever tasted in the U.S.

Great food tour by Jumana! - From the start to the end, we tried a variety of Jordanian dishes. There was plenty of food, and you wont need to eat afterwards. Our tour guide, Jumana, was excellent throughout. She was very insightful on the dishes we were given, and even gave some brief history of the shops/stores where we had the food/drinks. Definitely a highlight of our stay in Jordan.

Jumana was a fantastic... - Jumana was a fantastic guide and made the Amman food tour truly special. She is incredibly knowledgeable about the city and guided us expertly through the ins and outs of Amman in a way that felt both informative and personal. Not only did we stop at a wonderful variety of food spots, but we also walked through local markets, sampling fresh fruits, dates, peanuts, and olives along the way. We drank tea with locals and experienced mansaf in the most traditional way. What made the tour stand out most was how she shared stories from her own family and traditions, which added warmth and authenticity to the experience. My 11-year-old absolutely loved the zaatar bread, and Joanna included him in such a thoughtful and special way throughout the tour. Highly recommend!

Wide variety of things to try - The food stops were outstanding. I think our guide was tired and had an off night as she wasn't all the engaged. Glad we did it anyway. I appreciated that it was a reasonable amount of food.. too many food tours the samples are way too big.
