My family signed up and paid for atv rides in the mountains of Petra. On the day of our tour we were told an "avalanche" wiped out a trail and bridge for the atvs. We were moved to a pickup truck and sat in the truck's bed in the desert sand. Our driver dropped us off at our hotel and attempted to charge me for more money. This tour was a big scam!!
Dear Guest, Thank you for taking the time to post your review. We sincerely apologize for any frustration experienced during your trip, as ensuring an exceptional experience and complete customer satisfaction is always our top priority. We would like to share a few important details regarding your booking to provide full clarity for future travelers: Unforeseen Safety Issue: Safety is our highest priority. On the day of your tour, a sudden and extremely rare collapse of a trail bridge occurred due to unforeseen environmental conditions, making the original UTV mountain route impassable. Immediate Alternatives Offered: Because this situation was completely out of our control, we presented you with two options prior to starting: a full 100% refund with trip cancellation, or switching to an alternative experience of equivalent value. You chose to proceed with the alternative tour to Wadi Rum. Clarification on Charges: The additional amount requested at the end of the tour was solely for dinner, an optional add-on that was not included in the baseline tour package. We sincerely apologize if this distinction was not made fully clear by our team on the day. We deeply regret that your experience left you feeling this way despite our efforts to adjust the itinerary on short notice. We take all feedback seriously and will continue working hard to maintain clear communication with our guests.
