Petra - Day tour from Amman
The tour was very well organized. The driver came on time and the tour guide at Petra was so knowledgeable. The only overall experience was awesome. The car was a big van which was super comfortable. The driver was very helpful and arranged food from a restaurant before dropping us at the hotel.
