Perfect!!!

Absolutely perfect. The company was very responsive to all of my pre-booking questions and very clear on all of the details. Our driver Murad was more than we could’ve possibly asked for. Such a gentleman. Always prompt. We hired a driver only but he was so much more! His English was amazing and he knew so much about the country. His experience showed: He would drop us off at a church and say “see you in an hour” and that’s exactly how long we would want. He was accommodating and a joy to be with. When he heard that we had enjoyed scuba diving in Egypt, he advised us that there was good diving in Aqaba and arranged a shore dive for us. He was a safe, courteous driver, and even though I am sometimes a nervous passenger, there were no issues at all.

A Brilliant 4 Day Tour with Jordanian Private Tours led by Fares

We approached Jordanian Private Tours with our own itinerary for a 4 day private tour. They were very open to fulfilling our needs and also gave some additional advice to ensure we had the best experience. Overall they were brilliant to deal with and arrange our private tour. Our private driver was Fares and he picked us up from the airport taking us to our hotel in Amman for the first night. Next day our fantastic tour started with Fares. Over the next 4 days we visited Wadi Rum, Petra, Madaba, Mt Nebo the Dead Sea and then back into Amman for viewing of the major sites, before heading back to the airport. Fares was a great driver, but more. He offered do much interesting information about what we were viewing and experiencing. He was full of knowledge and experience. Not only that, he was a great guy, very easy to interact with and enjoy his company. If you want to see Jordan in style and comfort without the big bus tours, you need to use Jordanian Private Tours. We very highly recommend Jordanian Private Tours and if you want a great tour, ask for Fares.

Only way to go to Petra

We chose private transportation to Petra, to ensure we got there efficiently and quickly as possible. Our driver Murad, chose the non freeway which cut 20 mins off each way which we greatly appreciated. It took about 2.4 hours each way. He picked us up at the Kempinski Dead Sea and we were off.

Worth the private travel and your

The driver was amazing, on time, fast and safe drive to and from Amman. Plenty of rest stop opportunities along the way to stretch and shop while making the long journey to Petra. Must book for a private group as it takes the stress out of everything
