A bucket list experience.
Jordanian hospitality is fantastic. My hosts were attentive and knowledgeable. Khalid was an excellent driver and an interesting conversationalist. Fatima was a tremendous guide. She was patient to answer my questions, and she has extensive knowledge of Petra and its history.

This excursion was a wonderful introduction to all that Jordan has to offer. Starting in Amman with the gorgeous topography, seeing the expansive historic site at Petra, overnighting in the one of the most unique deserts in Wadi Rum, and finally getting to feel the sensation of floating in the Dead Sea, the experience exceeded all expectations. Our guide, Yousef, was very knowledgeable and inviting and ensured all our needs and desires were met.

Highly recommend doing Petra & Wadi Rum in one day with Yunis on this tour!
What an unforgettable experience! This tour to Petra and Wadi Rum from Amman was absolutely incredible. My guide Yunis was amazing. He was super knowledgeable, friendly, and professional. It felt like a private tour since there were only two of us (both of us being solo travelers), which made the whole experience even more personal. The other person on the tour quickly became a friend, and we both had such a great time.
We started the day early with a smooth drive to Petra. When we arrived, it felt like stepping into a dream! The site was less crowded than I expected, and the anticipation leading up to the first view of the Treasury was magical. Petra truly lives up to the hype and more. I’ll never forget that feeling of awe.
Next, we headed to Wadi Rum. Wow! This place is like being on another planet. The vast desert landscapes are just breathtaking. We even had the chance to meet and share tea with some Bedouins, which was a unique and memorable experience. The entire desert was picture-perfect and felt surreal.
After all the sightseeing, we ended the day with a delicious buffet dinner. The entire tour was so well-organized, and our guide made sure we were comfortable and happy throughout the day. I also really appreciated how he patiently waited while we explored the sites.
Big props to him for driving all the way from Amman to Petra and Wadi Rum. It’s a long drive, and he made it seem effortless. He truly went above and beyond to make sure we had an unforgettable day. If you're planning a trip to Jordan, this tour is a must, and I particularly recommend Yunis as your guide! Thank you for making this such a special experience!

Epic
We spent the day with Mohammad Srewa who drove us very comfortably and safely to Petra and Wadi Rum. It was a long day but the journey was so comfortable that we enjoyed every minute of it! Thank you Mohammad for your insights into Jordanian culture, your good humour and kindness! (And of course the lovely coffee). Shukram.

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.

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!!!

Relaxing way to see and learn about Amman
We had a wonderful and relaxing time visiting the sites with our tour operator, Ahmad. Ahmad picked us up at our hotel and took us to the key sites, took some great pictures of us, and was patient and informative. Tour lasted about approx 4 hours, however it seemed it could be shorter or longer, just depends on how long you spend at each site. Highly recommend if visiting Amman for first time as we were.

Great tour with Omar!
At the beginning of the trip, our driver offered to take us to the Baptismal Site of Jesus Christ and Mount Nebo for 30 JOD extra for the two of us. We agreed to this as we’d not had an opportunity to visit these sites beforehand. The Baptismal Site of Jesus Christ cost 12 JOD per person for entry, and this included a group tour guide, and it lasted for around 2 hours. We later went to the Crown Plaza to go into the dead sea and then have a buffet lunch.
Later on, we went to Mount Nepo, which costed 3 JOD per person, but this is cash only (card not accepted).
The whole day took around 8-9 hours from Amman and back, including these two additional site stops.
Our driver, Omar, was great and gave us waters throughout the journeys. He also showed us the facilities at the dead sea resort, and stopped at a few points to take photos for us.
This day trip was definitely worth it. The dead sea was a lot warmer than expected, and the climate is a lot warmer than in Amman. We did this trip in late December, and it was definitely warm enough to go into the sea. We were taken to the Holiday Inn resort at first, but due to an event, the beach was closed, so we were taken to another hotel with the same rating, which was also nice, called the Crown Plaza resort. The buffet food was very good, and the hotel surroundings were also nice.

This tour was really...
This tour was really something special. Mohammed, my driver/guide went above and beyond to make the trip memorable, from things as small as finding the best falafel, to tweaking the plan to add in hot springs when it was too cold for a Dead Sea float (though we still visited the Dead Sea). I cannot stress how cool this tour was. I loved seeing the mosaics of madaba, mount nebo and its views, little Petra, actual Petra (the crown jewel of the tour), the amazing rock formations and different colored sand in wadi rum (as well as seeing the stars at night), and the glass boat tour of Aqaba, before the hot springs an Dead Sea. You won’t regret going on this tour!

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.

Highly recommended guided tour!
Had a great experience with Orwa. He took us through the beautiful streets and bazaars. He let us try some local delicacies and also suggested good eateries to try out. He explained the history of the place well and it was great to see the place from a local point of view. Super friendly with an amazing spirit !

Highly recommended
Omar was our driver from Amman to Petra. He was very polite, professional, and interesting. He is always on time and attentive to needs. For example, he noticed our waters were warm and he bought us new ice cold ones. Omar also has an interesting life and he shares his life experiences. We would definitely travel with Omar again.
