1 hour late, offered three other tours and a threat

Julio_M, Jun 2023

He was 1 hour late, tried giving me a cheaper tour I didn’t ask for on three occasions and made a veiled threat. Full story I took out a hiking tour with bakhir. On the day, Bakhir played a coordination role between people who booked tours online and locals that provide the tour. He didn’t have a list of people expected, no tour guides were present and he initially didn’t ask for tickets. He was smiley and offered free tea, but 40 minutes in we were the last 4 people due to go on a tour. He then: 1- tried putting us all on a jeep tour. I told him I had ordered a half day hike + tour. This was the first time he asked to see our tickets and only asked us. 2- He then offered a half day hike only, but no further tour. I told him no, that’s not what we paid for. I showed him the ticket again, half day hike and tour. He then spoke to someone on the phone asking for our booking details quickly as we were in front of him. He started to get annoyed and said organising the hike and tour required preparation (something he should have already been tracking and organised). 3- he kept getting annoyed and said “I don’t need your happy smiles, I have people booking online all the time, I don’t need you. I don’t need to give you a tour”. That hit hard, he was willing to try and ruin our holiday and cancel our plans just because we were asking to do the tour we had already paid for - no apology, just anger. He then placed us on a 4x4 and said he would give us half day hike and tour, but we might not be able to see everything since we were late (because of his lack of planning). At this point I just agreed to salvage the situation, but I’ll be speaking with viator and Jordanian tourism board. The tour group is run by bakhir, but the tour operators are his family. His brother Omir and uncle Ali were our guides on the day and the were great, Ali was incredibly kindly, friendly and flexible - I liked him. And omir was very friendly too. If it was based on the two of them I would have left a good review, but bakhir is the coordinator and the risk of not getting the tour you paid for or being threatened remains and that’s not okay. Maybe someone else in the family should take over bakhir’s role. Feedback: Bakhir needs to work on organisation skills, deliver what was paid for, make a realistic itenarary (and update the online advert) and maybe take a course on how to run tours and deal with tourists. It was very disorganised.

Response from Host, Jun 2023

Hello Julio, We are very sorry to hear how upset you are. We would like to explain the situation. Bakhir is a local Bedouin who lives and works in the desert. He can speak good English, but can’t write or read it. That is why I (Lara) help him by handling the bookings, Tripadvisor, communication etc. In your case there has been a miscommunication in the team, and we thought you booked a full day jeep tour, but instead you booked a mountain hike and tour. So we didn’t have the guide ready for you, but mistakes can happen, and we solved the problem very quickly and even had 2 guides for you, instead of 1. Sorry again, that this kept you waiting. You still got to do a tour of about 7,5 hours, instead of 8. We would have been happy to give you a refund for the time missed, if you had just asked. Also, we have mentioned very clearly on Viator that the experience consists of the mountain hike itself, a lunch, and for the remaining time, the tourists will do a jeep tour and visit other highlights. The whole plan is written there. So it is not really fair to say that the plan was not clear. We even send you the printscreens to show you. If you didn’t like what you booked, you could have told us immediately and we could have changed your plan. We are glad you still enjoyed the whole experience, as did our guides. Sad to see that your 1 star review is not based on this experience, but on the miscommunication in the beginning. We will contact you privately to discuss it further, so we can maybe make some adjustments on Viator, in case anything isn’t clear
