Great day trip with just...

Jeremy_T, Jul 2026

Great day trip with just enough to do without being exhausted. Both the driver Ibrahim and local guide at Petra Sam were great company. The local insights and personal knowledge added alot to the trip. Would highly recommend the horse ride at Petra along the canyon and having a drink at the Cave Bar on the way out. It is a very long day so I recommend choosing the earlier departure option. Additionally, both San and Ibrahim spoke great English, so ask for them in the future if you plan on asking a lot of questions.

Very Comfortable and Enjoyable Trip

Robert_A, Jun 2026

I did the tour as transport from Amman to Petra without needing a tour in Petra. Shadi, the driver, was great. He arrived early with a comfortable car and is a good, safe driver who also points out many interesting things along the way. We even took a little detour so he could show me a couple lookout-type locations with great views. He is very personable and great to talk with on various topics. He has great knowledge about all parts of Jordan since he used to be a full time tour guide. I highly recommend Shadi for all your Jordan transportation needs. I’m also using his services for my return trip to Amman.

Response from Host, Jul 2026

We truly appreciate your kind recommendation and are happy to assist with your return trip to Amman. We hope to welcome you again on future visits to Jordan.

A Wonderful Experience

Stephen_M, Feb 2026

The drive from the hotel in Amman was long, but pleasant. It allowed us to see the vast countryside, the mining industry, the farming, and the desert. Since it was Ramadan, traffic was light and the only issues were speed bumps and police checkpoints. We had pleasant conversation with the driver Wo was very concerned about our comfort and health. Halfway each way was a restroom and snack stop with very pleasant and clean bathrooms. When we arrived the guide escorted us to get a golf cart ride to the Treasury. It was or would have been a long, long walk. We saw it and decided to return without going further. Overall it was a wonderful tour for the two of us 72 year-olds.

Excellent tour! The driver Bader very attentive, detailed, professional and with good disposition. He speaks perfect Spanish. The guide Hassan de Petra also very friendly and gave us a lot of information about the history of the country. We had no worries, everything planned perfectly, fully recommended!
