Half day tour of Jerash and Ajloun
An excellent tour with Shadi, he is a very experienced guide and ensured that I made the most out of my trip. He advised me on what I could see and tailored the tour to exactly what I wanted. He explained the history of the sites to me on the way up and later had suggestions for where I could eat. A great tour.

Very safe and great tour
Bardaghawi arrived early at our hotel and started the day by giving us a fascinating overview of the history of Amman. He then drove us to all the planned sites, explaining each location in detail along the way. His knowledge of Jordan is truly impressive, and he made the entire experience both educational and enjoyable. Highly recommended!

Nice day
Our driver Adnan contacted us the day before the trip. In the car he had a water and wifi for us, that was very nice.
The pickup point and time we could spend in the castle and Jerash was always clear. We could choose when we wanted to get lunch. We had e very nice day.
