The tour is different than others, it covers the key markets in Amman. So you know how to shop around and can go back to continue some more shopping. Ibrahim made the tour super informative and ensure we could try different delicacies Amman has to offer. There were no push sales but stores we visited were so good I did not mind buying some stuff. The next day i returned to some stores to get more good food and drinks. Absolutely recommend this tour to everyone

I've done quite a few free walking tours in different cities over the world by now - and Ibrahim's tour was definetely one of the best I was able to experience!! Instead of walking through the most common cites which can also be found by google maps, he walks you through the seemingly endless markets - the tour includes many what feels like hidden gems, that I wouldn't have found or just missed with google maps. I got to try many things left and right during the whole tour and learned quite some practical things for the rest lf my stay too! Also - he explained everything really well and kept the route easy, so that you are definetely able to find your way around downtown by yourself after! And even though I was alone (since I went in a not touristy-month) he took a lot of time to explain, tell and show me stuff! So 10/10 recommend to go with Ibrahims tour!
