Excellent tour, Faisal Excellent driver!

An excellent experience with Faisal! He was very kind, attentive, and helpful throughout the tour. Although a guide was not included in the service, he shared interesting information about the places we visited and helped me buy the entrance tickets, making everything much easier. He also went out of his way to make the day special: he bought me local fruit to try and gave me a beautiful bracelet. I really appreciated his generosity and warm hospitality. Thank you, Faisal, for making my visit so memorable. Highly recommended!

Elissa_T, Oct 2026

Highly recommend!!!

Qutaibeh was a fantastic driver (and guide!) for the 3-day trip down to Petra, Wadi Rum and Aqaba. He was timely with his arrival as well as suggesting for us to arrive early at key sights such as Petra to ensure that we had the best experience possible. Qutaibeh was extremely flexible, enabling us to see exactly what we wanted to see during our tour whilst also providing lots of useful and fascinating information about each sight, and about the general history and culture of Jordan as a whole. We had a wonderful time, and much of this was down to Qutaibeh’s brilliant customer service and accommodating our needs. Thank you Qutaibeh!

From Amman: Petra and Wadi rum Private/Group Full day Tour

Darren_A, Sep 2026

Excellent day trip to two iconic Jordanian sites

Excellent day trip to Petra and Wadi Rum. I was a bit apprehensive at first because I'm travelling solo and though I'd be amongst a group of couples and families. This was a small group tour consisting of four other solo travellers, Everyone was friendly and welcoming. Our driver for the day Mahmoud Alkhawaja was great - super knowledgeable and an expert at driving long distances. It was a very long day of over 14 hours leaving my hotel at 05:30 and returning after 19:30; with three hours in the ancient city of Petra and around 70 minutes on the Wadi Rum desert jeep tour. A long day - yes. Exhausting at times - yes; especially walking through Petra in the 32C heat; but it was all totally worth it. The trip was well-paced and overall was a very enjoyable day when I made great memories and have some remarkable photos. Recommended!

The amazing Mr Q

Mr Qutaibeh Al_Akaileh (Mr Q) is an asset to this experience. He is courteous, knowledgeable and accommodating. Mr Q encouraged me that I could, in deed, climb the seemingly impossible rock formations. He personally negotiated my footing and offered his shoulders as support when climbing was a challenge. He always kept our safety and physical needs at bay. We highly recommend this tour and, Mr Q. The experience of seeing the desert and sleeping in a “tent” will be forever remembered. Tom and Terry R

We returned to France promising to come back!

Airport pickup or drop off transfer from or to Amman city

Delisa_R, Jan 2026

Safe, professional and reliable

As a solo female travling in Jordan, I wanted a safe, reliable "easy" ride to my hotel from the airport after a long day of flying from the USA. The driver contacted me via Whatsapp and was ready and waiting when I arrived. He was very professional and spoke english - very friendly and the company also helped me with a ride to Petra later in my trip. I would highly recommend.

Amman: Private Panoramic Tour and Local Meal-Optional Wine Taste

Kirsten_C, Jan 2026

Such a fun and easy way...

Such a fun and easy way to visit Amman. We were picked up on time for our hotel and taken to see the mosque, which we chose to pay for to enter. It was super interesting to see that a Christian church stood across from the mosque, representing the Jordanian culture embracing differences. The mosque was beautiful and historic. Then, we did outside views of the citadel and the roman stadium, which were beautiful at night with the sun setting and the lovely hills. We couldn't visit the rainbow stairs. It was Christmas, a holiday that everyone takes and we were told that streets were closed, though we did drive through the old town which I would have loved to spend a bit more time in. The wine tasting was worth the extras!! We bought 4 bottles of wine. And, we loved the restaurant. The food was the highlight. There was so much food and we wanted to eat more but couldn't! It was a real authentic restaurant and not just a tourist place. Highly recommend!!!

Take this tour! You will be glad you did!!

This was a great experience/ introduction to Jordan food. Our guide Mohammed Al-Quadi picked us up right on time. We visited all the sites in the itinerary and had a special guide at the Citadel. We Danielle so much food, we were very full! But it was a really good mix of walking and food tasting. Highly recommend this tour.

Day Tour Jerash, Ajloun and Umm Qais From Amman

Apinder_G, Dec 2025

Jerash, Anjlun Castle, and Umm Qayas

We had an excellent experience with our private driver, Faisal Abu Rashed. He was incredibly knowledgeable, courteous, and made our entire trip feel smooth and safe. Faisal went above and beyond—he helped us purchase genuine Jordanian stones (Aventurine) at a very fair price, brought us fresh pomegranate juice, and introduced us to fantastic local eateries we would have never found on our own. He also made us aware of local scammers/ticket procedures and shared insightful information about every tourist site we visited. His professionalism and warm personality truly enhanced our time in Jordan. Highly recommend Faisal to anyone looking for a trustworthy and exceptional driver!
