Petra Tagestour

What a fantastic trip! I felt safe across the whole country and so well looked after. All of the food was delicious and the days were incredible. Wadi Rum and Petra were my highlights. I found the guide Rihad was brilliant and knowledgeable about everything I asked. The driver was also lovely and the vehicle was brand new with lots of space and nice air con. Overall I would 100% recommend visiting Jordan, a once in a lifetime trip!

Wow! Where to begin!? I am writing this review at the airport lounge, while my memory is still fresh. Our family, wife and 6yo daughter. Initially, with the tit-for-tat Middle East conflict still raging, I was reluctant to visit Jordan. But having done research and sought assurances, my fears were dismissed. Ashraf was our main point of contact and he introduced himself to us, via WhatsApp a week before our departure, which was very reassuring. From the time we arrived to be greeted by a rep before we even entered passport control, made us feel the closest to a celebrity! Everything was taken care off: transfers, pick ups from hotel(s), admission fees, tours…all planned to military precision. We travelled across Jordan visiting many historical places and sites. Petra and Little Petra are breathtaking. No wonder so many blockbuster sci-fi movies were filmed there. The castles, temples, snorkelling and swimming in the Red Sea; floating (for a short while!) in the Dead Sea all incredible experiences. Our daughter loved every moment of the trip even the walking and hiking trips. The entire vacation and experience would not have been possible without Ashraf our Jordan and Beyond contact. Ashraf came to our assistance on two separate occasions: once when we asked for a bigger room on the last leg of our tour, and booking seats for our return flights- when I went to book, most of the ‘free’ seats had been taken leaving us separated as a family. One WhatsApp message to Ashraf and he took care of everything - we were seated together AND had window seats! We can honestly say, the holiday was one of the best we have (so far) been on. Absolutely fantastic. Our 6 yo learned so much about the culture and has plenty to tell her teachers when she returns to school. A HUGE thank you to Ashraf, from Jordan and Beyond for a most memorable, experience. If anyone has any reservations about visiting, Jordan is a fantastic, SAFE country. The people are so friendly, welcoming and go out of their way to assist. Don’t delay, book today!

We have just spent a wonderful week in Jordan seeing an amazing array of sites. We were most fortunate to having Adnan as our tour leader and guide. He spoke perfect English having US citizenship and he was a wealth of knowledge on all things Jordan giving us great insight on the region its people and culture. Likewise his insights on historical sites and the lines of Petra Little Petra Wadi Rum etc etc were fascinating and appreciated by all. We had a wide range of travellers and gelled really well throughout our tour. Adnan was ever patient and helpful throughout and nothing was too much trouble. It was full on but to fit in all we have seen meant it needed to be that way on and you’ll not regret it. Thanks to all at Jordan and Beyond Tours and their great team who helped make this a brilliant trip David n Julie C

My friend and arrived in Jordan and were met by Jordan and beyond. From that point forward we were in the best of hands. The highlights were Petra and Wadi Rum but honestly there was not a bad day. Adnan was our guide, he was knowledgeable funny and knew how to keep everything interesting and fun. Just as importantly, our trip ran into a few medical issues and this company stuck with us from start to finish. The people made this trip special. If you are touring in Jordan no need to look beyond this company.

This trip was very professionally run with a knowledgeable and professional guide (Riad) and skilful driver (Mohammad). We learned a great deal and had a superb day.

It has been a fantastic experience, so many monuments, the city of amman, the dead sea, gerasa, the desert castles, wadi rum, and what above all has been wonderful has been our guide, Mohamed, anthropologist, archaeologist and career in political science, which has explained in detail things that we would not have known by another guide, magnificent person, didactic, in short, a wonder of travel

We booked our tour of Jordan through Exoticca and Adnan was our guide. He went above and beyond for our group by providing us with an in-depth explanation of all significant sites and about daily life as a Jordanian. By far he is the best guide I’ve ever had in my global travels.

We won the lottery having Jafar as our guide. The tour was a combination of history, food, culture, religion, and plenty of humour. Jafar is a true professional, knowing how to keep the crowd entertained. His knowledge and pride for his country filled us with more information than we could comprehend. We learned, ate, and laughed all week. He made us feel like family, or as he would say his cousins. Would come back just to hang out with Jafar.

Jafar was our host and he was phenomenal. Extremely knowledgeable about the history. His enthusiasm made the group want to learn more! Petra is stunning and folks need to strongly consider doing this tour and requesting Jafar!

Took a 7 day tour of Jordan through Exoticca, with Jordan & Beyond Tours the local contact. Mr. Ashraf was excellent, from start to finish. From providing us with arrival & pickup information, to final departure transportation to the airport. They responded immediately to all inquiries and ensured a great trip throughout Jordan. Jafaar was a top-notch guide - not only exceptionally knowledgeable, but ensuring everyone's needs were met. And the little touches....providing us with samples of local delicacies and stopping by his favorite local pizza baker and treating us to hot, homemade Jordanian-style pizza, are just a few examples. Will definitely be recommending to others!
