Jordan - a gem of a place to visit
This was an amazing experience coming ton Jordan. Booked with Petra Night tours as a custom tour as only had a single day in Jordan. Our driver Taysser messaged me when I landed and met us at the airport and gave us so much insight into Jordan and the history of the area and stopped and showed us some extra things on the way. At Petra we had a guided tour of the site discussing all the history and the guide, Ali, was so knowledgeable. Petra has very tourist numbers at the moment due to the Iran conflict but this is a very SAFE country and the people are so friendly so it’s a great time to visit Jordan and there are no issues. I wish we had dedicated more time here as there is so much more to see.

Great service
We booked a airport pick up at Amman to Petra. We were met at the airport by the very cheerful Mustafa who drove us to Petra that night. Mustafa gave us information on Jordan and Petra itself throughout the journey. We did Petra on our own and Mustafa collected us at our hotel the following evening right on time. The vehicle was clean and water was provided. Would book again and appreciate Mustafa's kindness, safe driving and helpful advice.

Must do with Freddy and Mohammad!
We had an amazing 4 days in Jordan doing many tours with Freddy and Mohammad. Everything we saw and experienced was beyond fascinating and they took us and accommodated us in the best way and went above and beyond. The knowledge and connections they have as well as amazing hospitality and driving we didn’t worry about a thing. Everything was dialed in and very clear. They were so friendly and fun. They have a deep knowledge of the history, area, and ecosystem it was so informative. It was so worth it!!!

Bread of Life.
Tayseer was our driver and was an excellent driving companion. The trip was roughly 3 1/2 hours but get shorter as he described each area with great detail. Once in Petra we had another guide who took us on a vigorous walk into the main section of the mountain passage into the Petra dwellings. Stunning walk, but be prepared with good walking shoes that are comfortable on loose rock. We finished our walk of Petra and Tayseer picked us up with warm bread in hand. Great way to finish …bread, cool water, and a nice nap.

Warm bread and warm hearts.
Tayseer was our driver and was exceptional! He told stories of the region during our 3 hour drive from Amman and was just a super friendly and knowledgeable driver. He even had warm bread waiting for our departure. We had a great guide inside of Petra who was a master at taking iPhone pics. Overall a great tour with great people.
