What are people saying about Yardenit (Jordan River Baptismal Site)

A must do from Amman
This tour has the perfect itinerary for a day trip from Amman. Not only do you see and float in the Dead Sea, but you go to the Bethany site on the Jordan River where John the Baptist baptized Jesus. The museums by Bethany give you a perspective of where events took place on the Jordan side of the river. It was super informative. Sami was so knowledgeable and fun that he made our day!

A memorable biblical journey around Jordan
Punctual and polite driver. Informative guides at each location. Spectacular views and a great lunch. A truly spiritual day that brings the key sites of the Bible to life.

Best driver/tour service in Jordan
Our driver Mahmoud was most knowledgable and accommodating He messaged the night before to confirm pickup details and was on time to collect. Mahmoud drove us to The Bethany and was super expedient in getting our tickets and onto the shuttle for the tour to the baptism site . He also stopped enroute for us to take pics and bought fresh fennel and roasted nuts for us to taste. He took us to Mount Nevis which was not even included in the tour. Jordanian people are super friendly, helpful and rich with culture. I would recommend all visit Jordan - it’s super safe and full of historical sites to explore.
