I found the tour of Pella interesting, although the ruins were less interesting than those of Umm Qais or Jerash. The walk itself takes two hours, but I went from Ajloun and the landscapes on the way there are exceptional, between fields and olive groves. 
On the site the guide shows us round the vestiges of the different periods. We saw for example, the ruins of three churches from the 6th century, those of a Canaanite temple probably from the 13th century BC, a Mamluk mosque built by the Arabs in the middle ages, the arches of well preserved gates and Byzantine and Umayyad houses... 
Around Pella, you can go with a guide to the site of 6th century Byzantine fortress and the ruins of a necropolis from the same period.
