A great excursion that combined perfectly our starting point of Petra and the return to Amman after our visit to Wadi Rum. We would just like our jeep tour to include information about the places we were visiting as our guide, even very polite, barely spoke English and there wasn’t always signal to search information.
Thank you very much for your thoughtful review and for choosing us for your journey from Petra to Wadi Rum and back to Amman. I’m very happy to hear that the excursion worked well for your travel plans and that the combination of Petra, Wadi Rum, and return to Amman was convenient for you. Thank you again for helping us improve and for being our guest in Jordan. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back for an even better experience in the future
We have had one of the best experiences ever in a tour. Our driver/guide Shadi was exceptional, he was very knowledgeable and really care about your safety, even though Jordan is very safe in general; very well educated and will give you the best advices, and even really great conversations about Jordan history etc. For us coming from US in November 2024 was an amazing experience, we recommend these tours and Shadi 100 %. Thank you!

Younas was my driver and he was excellent . Got to our destinations on time and safely. The car was very clean, comfortable, and new. We had good conversations when we talked during our drive(I’m an introvert, but he was easy to talk with)through the country side. We started earlier than what planned, but Younas suggested we start at 6:00am instead of 08:00am, and I’m glad he did because we got back to Amman not so late in the night. When you get to the destinations, your explore on your own, and then Younas picks you up(always on time). Overall I’m very satisfied with my tour and glad I got a good driver to get me around Jordan safely.

It was amazing overview tour in a good car and very nice driver. Very good and flexible time management. Helpful advices regarding local prices and to do's. Also very safe trip. I would say it's best time to visit Jordan due to less tourist and perfect weather for sightseeing. Many thanks to our driver Muhammed!

Great trip, Anas was a great driver who was in contact the day before to confirm arrangements and was on time as promised. The ride was comfortable and the trip around Wadi Run breathtaking - would have loved more time! This is a great option if you are in Petra for your last day with an evening flight and would like to tag on a desert safari to your trip!
Thank you so much for your wonderful review. We're thrilled to hear you enjoyed your experience with us. Your kind words mean a lot to our team, and we look forward to welcoming you back in the future

I visited a one day trip from Amman to Petra and Wadi Rum. Our driver was Adnan, he is a very friendly gentleman with a great command of English. He is very knowledgeable about Jordan and provided us with fantastic information on Amman, Petra and Wadi Rum which excelled our experience. He was on time and arrived in a spacious, clean and comfortable 8 seater van which was perfect for the long drives. He was very polite man who attended to our needs and ensured we had the best experience possible. He would always check with us to see if we required anything during our visits in Petra and Wadi Rum and gave us a background of each place and what to expect there, he was like a guide to us and made our trip enjoyable. It was so great in fact we used the company again the next day and requested Adnan as our driver. Without him this journey would not have been enjoyable as it was because he is a very knowledgeable and understanding person.
Thanks for your support......... and we are looking forward to serving you again
Yousef musleh was our driver from Petra to Wadi Rum and then to Amman. He was fantastic, funny and very knowledgeable about Jordan. He was also very very nice we both fell to sleep and he drove maybe three hours without stopping to use the restroom. We told him it was OK if he woke us up or stopped. But Yousef said he didn’t want to wake us. Please ask for this driver soooo friendly and we highly recommend.
Thanks for your support......... and we are looking forward to serving you again
Anas was a fantastic guide and driver with excellent English, we are 5 pax from Ireland and Anas could not have been more helpful. He did his best throughout the entire day and made sure we had fantastic experiences in Wadi Rum and Petra.
Thanks for your support......... and we are looking forward to serving you again
