Don't miss this insight into Jordanian food and culture - Jumana is a smart lady who gets things done. She loves her country, and she knows how important food is to the Jordanian identity and social life. I lost count of the number of stops we did - more than the ten advertised - and at every stop the food was unforgettable. Everybody in Amman seems to know Jumana, and this opened doors into places that I as a tourist would never have known about. This is an experience not to miss, and worth every penny. Highly recommended.

Amazing Way to Experience Amman! - This tour beyond exceeded my expectations. Whenever I go to a new city, I typically do some type of food tour - this one has definitely been one of my favorites! For three hours, I walked with Jumana through Rainbow Street and Downtown Amman, all whilst learning about the history of each of these places. I left the tour feeling like I had a greater understanding not only of the food of the area, but also of stories and histories of each of the foods we tried and restaurants we visited. I saw how beautiful the culture here can be - throughout the whole tour, Jumana interacted with others like they were her family.
From falafel sandwiches to skincare routines, the conversations Jumana and I had never dissapointed. Because I was the only person on the tour, Jumana also carefully wrapped all of the leftovers for me to have over the upcoming days. Kuddos to this tour company. You can really tell that they put so much time and effort into their food tours. I highly highly recommend to anyone visiting Amman!

A tasty, informative, and welcoming introduction to Amman - Don’t miss this excellent introduction to Jordan, and Amman in particular! We just returned home and have been talking about this wonderful experience. We’ve found food tours to be an excellent way to get familiar with the foods, culture, and histories of new places we visit. This tour more than met our expectations. Jumana was a wonderful guide and host. She found delicious stops and used the Rainbow Street area of Amman to share the Jordanian culture and Amman’s treasures with us. Fortunately, we don’t have dietary restrictions. Jumana made sure to check and let us know that there were wonderful alternatives if needed. Note, It rained on us at the beginning of our 3 hour walk but even that didn’t dampen the experience!
We highly recommend the 3-hour evening Amman Food Tour.

Amazing food tour- great guide and delicious eats - The food tour was amazing. Needed help booking and the team was great at getting back to me and accommodating my request. Jumana was amazing on the tour, was super informative and helpful and really great to spend the evening walking around downtown Amman.
All the restaurants/ vendors we tried were delicious and the tour was a great way to taste traditional foods in Amman.

A lot packed into 3 hours!! - We've done a lot of food tours. It's one of our favorite things to do in new towns, as you generally get off the beaten path and out of the main tourist locations. That was definitely the case on this tour. We had a great time and ate a ton of food. It was especially fun to spend the evening out in Amman and amongst all the Jordanians going about their evening. It's a vibrant and exciting city…everyone was happy to see us and very nice hosts. Don't worry about coming away hungry either! This was one of the most-filling food tours I've done. Highly recommended and a great way to see a great city.

Five ⭐️ experience - We enjoyed the most amazing night with Jumana exploring the food and culture of Amman. Her knowledge and enthusiasm intertwining the food and history of Jordan makes the whole experience very enjoyable. It is also fun to watch her interaction with the locals.
I recommend doing this tour at the beginning of your stay in Amman because she gives many recommendations of great places to eat and visit.
A word of warning- do not eat breakfast or lunch on the day of your booking.

Great way to taste local cuisine - My guide, Jumana was vibrant, and took me on an amazing food tour through the bustling area of Rainbow Street and downtown markets. She considered my dietary requirements and alternative foods were offered if I couldn’t eat something. It was a fun experience as she interacted well with the locals, giving me a view into the local community. Best falafels that I have had.

Fun Night in Amman - An incredible experience! Jumana intertwined great food with the history and culture of Jordan making eating and learning and fun event. She expertly navigates the city so you get a feel for the modern Amman, and get to try samples of what the city offers along the way. The best part, Jumana seems to know 50% of the people you pass so it is friendly faces and laughs the entire tour.
Highly recommend this. And yes…skip an earlier meal in the day because you will be full.

Super fun and great value - Jumana was so fun! Really informed, kept the tour informative and interesting and loved the private tour experience especially in parts of Amman that I wouldn't have thought to go myself. The three hour tour was more like four hours and plenty of food, definitely come hungry!

Real Jordanian Cultural Experience - Pros:Tour guide Jumana, was charming, friendly, and informative. Felt like she was a good friend showing us her neighborhood.
Cons: over priced...should either have more varieties of foods and beverages or cost less.
