Disappointed in tour
Jerash was amazing. How we were really rushed and did not see everything. The driver was a very safe driver but this tour was not a tour just a driver. We would be better off and alot less expensive to hire a Uber driver and enjoyed 3 hours not 2 hours.

Completely reliable, thoughtful and well-informed tourist driver
Hakam was unwilling polite and thoughtful. He communicated very well in perfect English, thought ahead of our needs, and has a host of useful and interesting information.

A good experience but no guide.
Our guide was very prompt in picking us up. He was courteous and professional but had very little English so we got very little information from him on the drive and he left us at the gate so we had no guide at all on the site. It was disappointing as we thought we’d booked a half day tour of Jerash with an English speaking guide, not just a taxi driver.

Not tour and stuck paying extra
Disregard the title…there is no tour. Fine
$120 round trip from Amman to Jerash is ok considering current fuel costs.
Are driver was polite during the ride.
We finished the self guided walk through Jerash by 1030 and asked to stop at the auto museum on the way back ( it is on route back to the hotel) we arrived at 11am.. at 1145 we got back in the car with an estimated arrival time of 12.
We asked for a food recommendation and he offered to take us there instead of the hotel which we accepted and arrived at 12:15. (The food was terrible and didnt have maqluba which we specifically asked for from him. fine he's not a tour guide but a taxi driver.)
The booking clearly states 4hrs 8-12
On arrival he said I owed him for 2 hours extra (30 Jordanian ~ $45) he just asked for my room number and I didnt want to argue with him I would deal with it at the hotel ) after long discussions with the front desk I paid for an extra hour. @15

Lovely, interesting day
Very interesting tour and half day was perfect. The driver was very courteous and friendly. He was a very safe driver. I walked through the site myself, which was great because I could go at my own pace. There are signs that explain each place. Also a museum you could look at. The actual archeological site is amazing and well worth the time. Really an amazing place. Afterward I met the guide in an adjacent restaurant and had the best orange juice of my life. The ride back was also lovely, as he took a different route so I could see some other areas. The guide also told me some things about agriculture and culture in Jordan.
