Free walking tours in Akaba

I took the tour during Ramadan and as it is a low season there was only me for the tour. And the guide did it which I appreciate a lot as in Amman I had the same situation and the guide cancelled the tour after I have wated for him for 30 min. Mohamed is fond of history and is sharing the infotmation very professional, we saw the main attractions and then he helped me with shopping and restaurants. I am grateful for his dediation.

We had a very nice tour, Mohammed is a very good story teller and knows a lot about the city and its history, but also about the history of the country. Elias and him are very complementary. They were really entertaining, they showed us the place and lots of food and market places.

He is the guy in Aqaba! Was super friendly chill guy, it was so fun to chat with him, he answered everything i asked, even helped us even after our trip. Great tour!

I had a 1-1 tour

Elias is knowledgeable and I learned a lot about the culture of Jordan.

Excellent tour, we explored the main historical sights of Aqaba and Thumama provided us context and history. Aqaba is an important city in the history of Islam and the Arab world so I recommend to take this tour as it’s hard to get this information otherwise.

Nice walk saw some local history and visited locals market

Mohammed was a great guide to his city of Aqaba. He gave us a local's insight, and an overview of some of the history. He was very welcoming and engaging and always open to questions. We would highly recommend taking a tour with him to learn more about Aqaba and experiences some of the things that the city has to offer. Thanks for a wonderful tour, Mohammed!

Sehr empfehlenswert. Sehr netter, junger Mann, der mir viele interessante historische Fakten vermittelt hat und wunderschöne Plätze in Aqaba gezeigt hat. Außerdem habe ich dank ihm lokales Leben in der Stadt kennengelernt. Seine Tipps habe ich gleich am nächsten Tag angewendet und war sehr dankbar, dass ich diese Momente und Erlebnisse mitnehmen konnte. Vielen herzlichen Dank. Thumama, ich wünsche Dir viel Glück und alles Gute für Deine Zukunft.

The guide cancelled the tour via WhatsApp and we agreed on another date. On the tour day when the guide was 10 minutes late, we contacted him and he promised to come in another 10 minutes. Thus, he arrived 20 minutes late and didn't even apologise. The itinerary he chose was interesting. The guide was sociable and quite knowledgeable.

Mohammed's tour was wonderful. It covered heaps of history, lovely locations and delicious food opportunities. The perfect tour to start off my time in Jordan! I highly recommend

Very punctual and friendly: he even drove me back to the hotel! We visited quite a few hidden corners, I would not have discovered by myself as a tourist. Lovely conversation, great laugh, I had fun!

Great knowledge of the city and provides helpful tips on great places to eat and drink.

Приятная городская прогулка с интересным экскурсом в историю страны, рекомендую.

This tour far surpassed my expectations. We started the tour at 630 pm and we went all around Aqaba not only trying new foods but also going to the areas where the fisherman were bringing in the catch of the day. I learnt a lot during this tour but the coolest thing was how I felt like I was with someone that everyone in Aqaba knew! It was a great experience and one of the best guruwalk tours I have done. Highly recommended it!

I would definitely recommend a tour with Thumama! He was very friendly and full of knowledge. He showed me around Aqaba but it felt like I was meeting up with a friend rather than just a toue. I would recommend this tour to anyone staying in Aqaba

The tour with Mohammed was fun. He shows you the city from the perspective of a local with stories from his childhood or even from his parents. The places are very interesting and be prepared to try a lot of different food. I definitely can recommend this tour.

I spent a privileged time with Thumama which I feel really thankful for. Aqaba is an interesting city with an unsuspected History with a big H related to how ancient the beginning of its timeline is. Thumama led me through the city to many places to visit. Everytime he took time to explain the context, to present the place and describe how it’s now part of the current life. Last but not the least, I’d like to highlight the social skills of this guide who shares generously his knowledge and asks about you with everytime a good sense of humor and a real kindness. I highly recommend Thumama :)

one of the best guru guide. informative and cares for tourist. it was super hot in aqaba and we continue the tour in the evening. we tasted some of his fave. hibiscus cold tea is the best! highly recommended that you book his tour.

One of the best ways to familiarise yourself with a new place and seeing a place authentically.

Thumama was a very enthusiastic, smiling and polite tour guide, who took me for a night walking tour in Aqaba. I highly recommend him.

Mohammed was a great guide, he met us according to our schedule and took us for a long walk with plenty of details sharing, food tasting, enjoying a drink on the beach and story sharing! We enjoyed it so much, it was like spending time with a friend. We highly recommend taking a tour with him!

I booked with Elias last minute and he was very nice and flexible with the timings. He knows all the best spots in Aqabba

Thumama accepted a tour with a last minute reservation and he was very flexible with the starting time to adapt to our needs. He's very polite and nice, always with a smile.

In general, I find GuruWalk a pretty good way to get to know a new place. For this guruwalk in Aqaba, I tried …. Probably too many dishes/sweets. 😂 it was fun to learn about the culture through food. I would say I’m satisfied more or less.
