Excellent tour experience! The car was brand new, very clean, and well equipped with everything needed, including Wi-Fi, water, and other useful facilities. The driver was extremely professional, punctual, and drove very well and safely. He was also very knowledgeable about the area, spoke excellent English, and had great communication throughout the trip. Highly recommended!
Great service. Good food suggestions. Would recommend it to others. The mule ride to monastery was fun too(not included)
Excellent tour! Petra is really beautiful, our driver was very friendly and there was excellent communication. Super recommended!
A beautiful experience in Petra, our driver Ahmad was punctual, polite, excellent driver and fulfilled the service offered by the tour, I recommend it to the 💯 it was a very comfortable and pleasant trip.
Easy, straightforward way to get to Petra from Amman. Driver was on time at the hotel, and was very friendly throughout the long day. Ideally I would say to do the 2-day tour if it's available so you can see wadi rum and the Dead Sea, but even "only" seeing Petra was plenty for me in 1 day. Amazing experience.
Five-Star Experiece! Our guide Ashraf Al Ahmad was wonderful. He was on time for the pickup at our hotel, very knowledgeable and informative about Petra, its history and significance. He was also flexible as we had to change our pickup time the night before but we still got the full tour. He also showed us a back route going into Petra will amazing views that the bus tours don't see. We would highly him to anywone wanting an outstanding and educational tour of this World Heritage Site.
Faisal was excellent throughout, very friendly with knowledge of the area, did more than what was on the itinerary definitely recommend it. We are looking forward to spending more days in Jordan thanks to your attention.
Such an Amazing experience. My Journey stared at 6am. I booked the full day tour to Petra from Amman through Viator and it was an amazing experience! Petra itself was absolutely amazing and definitely a must-see. The journey was smooth and comfortable, my driver Ashram made the whole trip even better. He was punctual, professional, and very friendly. Highly recommended doing this again. I recommended Ashram as well
We had a truly exceptional one-day tour to Petra, and every aspect exceeded our expectations. First and foremost, our **driver was excellent**. He was punctual, incredibly professional, and very friendly. He ensured a smooth, comfortable, and safe journey throughout. He was also knowledgeable and happy to share insights about Jordan along the way. The **vehicle arranged for us was perfect**. It was modern, impeccably clean, very spacious, and had strong air conditioning—which was a blessing after a day of exploring. It made the long drives to and from Petra relaxing and enjoyable. Of course, **the site of Petra itself was breathtaking**. It's an absolute wonder of the world, and no photos can do justice to walking through the Siq and seeing the Treasury for the first time. The history and scale are simply mind-blowing. We maximized our day hiking to the main highlights. In summary: a fantastic driver, a top-quality vehicle, and one of the most incredible sights on Earth. This tour was perfectly organized and we felt well taken care of from pick-up to drop-off. Highly, highly recommended for a seamless and unforgettable Petra experience!
Just wonderful. One of the most fantastic places I've ever known. Impermeable in all respects.
