All our guides were excellent - friendly, knowledgeable, patient - overnight stay at Wadi Rum very comfortable. The sights are truly spectacular and very much worth the trip.
The expirence was excellent, our driver Mahmoud was very kind with us, always taking care of our needs and one step ahead, he give us a lot advices, her car has free WiFi witch it’s a plus if your traveling from another country, also offer free water bottles and make a stop to show us more and take good pictures. He even gave us free local ice cream. Also Eslam was very good with us, he attended us all the way through at any time.
Although everyone is really enthusiastic. I would like to mention that it is heartbreaking to see that the animals are getting abused. The tourists are traveling with the camels and donkeys and horses and by dping that, everyone is supporting animal abuse. They are not even getting proper food and water. The view is nice and all, but not the fact that te camels are being abused. Please people! Be aware of this fact and do your research before paying for animal abuse. Maybe then something will change in this world.
It was a great trip to wadi rum, nice and oersonalized attention very kind host, will book it again one day for sure
We only visited the Roma Canyon and not had the petroglyphs on this trip. Very nice fantasy visit Check out before sunset for the beauty of Rum Valley views
I booked my tour from the US. The staff at Echo tours were very helpful and responsive. Our tour went very smooth and without any problems. Ali was out tour guide and he was excellent. Had a lot of knowledge and kept us engaged. The transportation to Petra and back was excellent and uneventful. I recommend Echo tours without any reservations.
Muhammad was an amazing guide…very helpful and organized! Everyone was very informative and super interesting! The Petra and Wadi Rum tour was awesome! A must see!
Nice trip though our driver didn’t speak English. Being a port excursion it was very rushed as we had to be back at the ship at a certain time. We needed longer at each destination to enjoy fully. But time didn’t allow
We had the best tour guide for an intense Petra experience in which we did several hikes over a 12 hour period! Hamzeh was so helpful and patient as we extended his day, teaching us about the history of the sites as well as showing us the most magnificent views that many travelers do not venture to see. Definitely recommend this tour, and specifically Hamzeh, for anyone that want to soak in this wonder of the world! Additionally, the team was accommodating as we were at Petra much later than normally offered, and made sure that the driver was available to get us back to our hotel safely despite being close to 9 o clock local time.
Guide in Petra was fantastic. Very knowledgeable and friendly. Drive to and from Petra was uncomfortable in a small back seat. The driver spoke limited English and it he very unskilled as a driver/guide. I wish the tour company maintained more professional personnel.
