5.00Our driver Bader took really good care of our group of four women. He made sure we got plenty of information on the way, coffee breaks, a nice local lunch and plenty of time to explore beautiful Petra. Will absolutely want Bader as driver and guide next time in Amman!

5.00Bassam was our driver during our trip to Petra (one day), and we were very happy with his service. He is a very good and safe driver, calm, punctual, and helpful. He is also a great person to talk to — he shared interesting stories about Jordan and had solid historical knowledge, which made our drives feel like a mini-guided tour. We felt safe, comfortable, and well taken care of.
A trip to Petra!

5.00I really enjoyed the trip. I flew in for one day to visit Petra. I was picked up at the airport. It was an individual transfer. Just the road. I bought tickets separately. Driver Ibrahim was very attentive: helping with baggage, currency exchange, taking pictures on the way, offering me a pillow because I had a long flight. I recommend this company for a trip to Petra.
comfortable trip for ond day

5.00The driver was very friendly and was very comfortable to Petra. It's a six-hour return trip from Amman to Petra, but if you leave early in the morning, you can spend five hours free from Petra. Recommended for day trips.

5.00We had an amazing day with Bader! He is incredibly polite, calm, and respectful. He gave us great advice for Petra, kept us hydrated with plenty of water, and even treated us to some delicious local date cookies. His kindness and generosity made our visit to Jordan very special. We highly recommend him to anyone looking for a professional and warm-hearted driver. Thank you for everything, Bader!
Totally worth it.

5.00Shadi, my tour guide and driver treated me like his real brother and kept me informed about everything and made sure I was comfortable throughout the whole time and he even went out of his way many times to make sure I had a great time. Although I had only booked Petra at first, after Shadi and Muhammad (my Petra guide) told me that they could arrange my transfer to Wadi Rum and back I booked it with them and Shadi as always did a fab job. I will end the review now because words are not enough to convey my gratitude to Shadi especially, Muhammad and the team behind them. Please book your tours with them when in Jordan. And I promise you they will make it worth every penny. See you again soon my friends.
