Our tour guide was amazing. The professor was very knowledgeable in the tour. Went above and beyond to explain the history of Petra. Our driver to Petra was on of a kind, very friendly, humble, and kind. Highly recommend this personal experience. Just beware of souvenir shops prices in general.
Aiman at Jordan border was most helpful. Muhammad our driver was amazing. Full of information along the route to Petra and the best Jordanian you could wish to meet. A special bond between us. Thanks for man liking our Jordan experience so memorable Tony June 23
Dear Tony, Thank you for sharing such a heartfelt review. We’re delighted to hear that your experience at the border with Aiman was smooth and helpful, and that your journey to Petra with Muhammad was so enjoyable. Creating those genuine connections along the way is what makes a trip truly special. Your kind words about the bond you formed mean a lot to us — these are the moments we value most. We truly appreciate your feedback and hope to welcome you again in Jordan. Warm regards, The Team of Jordan Horizons Tours
We had Kamel as our guide and he picked us up at the appointed time by the tour buses. His English was excellent and his sense of humor was great. The tour to Petra more than met our expectations and our tour also included a lunch at a beautiful hotel as well as a 4x4 trip to Wadi Rum. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone. They even called ahead and had a cart ticket for the one couple that needed it. So no waiting for them. Our small group was about 8-10 people.
Dear Shamrockarse, Thank you for your wonderful review and recommendation. We’re delighted to hear that your day trip exceeded expectations and that everything was well organized from the start. Kamel will be especially happy to know you appreciated his humor and guidance — we’ll be sure to share your kind words with him. It’s great that you enjoyed both Petra and Wadi Rum, along with the smooth arrangements for your group. These small details are exactly what we aim to get right. We truly appreciate your feedback and hope to welcome you again in Jordan. Best regards, Guest Relations Team Jordan Horizons Tours

Best tour ever! This office was amazing in setting up our tour. We did both Petra tour and Wadi rum safari experience and it was filled with tons of fun. The highlight was the tour guide named “Hassan”, one of the best guys we had ever met and he made our days in Jordan special. Thanks for everything and highly recommended!

We’re a family of 6 with 2 adult kids and 2 teens. Abdullah arranged travel from border to hotel and back to border. This helped a lot in the immigration which reduced significantly the waiting times!!! In this COVID days it’s really important. In addition we did 2 tours, one to Wadi Rum and the second to Petra. Both tours were with private van and private driver Hassan. Hassan is the greatest and we really liked traveling with him. Overall it over achieved our expectations and we truly recommend using Abdullah and JHT services.

Wow! Great trip and the best service. We had a perfect day tour to Petra with the team included Kamal the tour guide, and Abdulla the driver. Such a great experience with the most professional. We were picked up in the morning as scheduled, were taken to do covid tests as required, then off to Petra. Thank you for your time, good vibes, knowledge and patience for us and my family. Mohamed did his best for us, and took care of everything we needed! We felt very good and as if we were his only group. Great service!

Excellent arrangement of the trip, very professional and kind driver, high quality of the local guide in Petra (speaking surprisingly good Italian!) and of the lunch (delicious!). Absolutely wonderful jeep tour of the Wadi Rum with an amazing guide. Last but not least, great customer care from the booking via email to the absolutely wonderful before and after our trip, always careful and supportive. We were so impressed by everything that we are already planning a longer tour of the Wadi Rum for our next Jordan holiday, including sleeping in the desert. We will surely ask JHT to organise the trip. Highly recommended!!
