    It's best to do this and have a guide at the Citadel, because you'll learn so much history. Having a private, air-conditioned car in the summer months is a must! Adding on the Jordan Museum to see the Dead Sea Scrolls was a great experience, as well as the Royal Automobile Museum.

    Mr Firas provided an excellent service, both as a driver and a tour guide. He was very friendly, punctual and helpful in communicating with local people. I’m sure I will contact the company again if I’m back to Jordan.

    Excellent day tour of Amman and saw all the main sites. You only get a guide at the Citadel but the driver was very knowledgeable and shared information along the way. I booked with lunch which was amazing but the tour is far too rushed at 6 hours with the lunch combined. Twenty minutes in a museum is just not enough. Great trip just spoiled a little by the time factor.
