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.

5.00Our trip to Petra was truly wonderful, and a big part of that was thanks to our driver. He picked us up right on time and was incredibly kind, patient, and knowledgeable throughout the entire day. He made the long drive feel easy and comfortable. He stopped at beautiful scenic spots so we could take pictures, and he never rushed us. He also made sure we had everything we needed, snack stops, bathroom breaks, and time to relax. He explained things along the way, shared interesting information, and checked in with us to make sure we were comfortable. It felt like traveling with someone who genuinely cared about our experience. Because of him, the journey to Petra was just as memorable as Petra itself. Highly recommended, excellent service and a truly great driver!
Adnan, exceptional 😎

5.00Bader was our driver today and has given us the best experience to Petra. He was punctual, the car was immaculate and there was cold bottled water ready in the car for us. Bader has heaps of knowledge of Jordan and can answer any questions you may have of this beautiful country. His English was excellent and went above and beyond for us. He was ready to collect us as soon as we had finished our excursion and made sure we were comfortable and offered to stop for coffees and food. Nothing was of any trouble. Would absolutely recommend and can’t wait to visit Jordan again. Thank you Bader for making our day so efficient and special,
Excellent experience

5.00I had an amazing day trip to Petra! The ride was quick, comfortable, and well-coordinated, with really friendly staff. The guide was fantastic—so knowledgeable and easy to talk to. A perfect experience from start to finish!

5.00It was a perfect day. Great driver and fantastic conversation. Comfortable car. Perfect weather. Petra wasn’t crowded. My driver told me exactly what to do and more importantly what not to do. He also gave me a very accurate estimate of how long everything would take. I had ample time to explore and go at my pace. By instinct, he knew that I was quite obsessive about timing and exact locations and he made me feel very secure. Wonderful lunch after and a relaxing ride back to Ammon. I would recommend this tour to anyone.

5.00Our Petra tour guide Sam was honestly amazing! He went above and beyond the whole day — super friendly, funny, and really knew his stuff. He even took us to a great local spot for lunch and a nice café after the tour, which wasn’t even part of the plan. You can tell he genuinely cares about giving people the best experience. Easily one of the best guides I’ve ever had — if you’re visiting Petra, ask for him!
Amazing! The absolute best!

5.00We had the absolute most amazing time with Sam! He was a friend over a tour guide. He was incredibly welcoming and knowledgeable. He picked us up and dropped us directly from our accom. He laughed with us, took us to a beautiful restaurant for an authentic Jordanian lunch after we saw the beautiful Petra and then also a cafe and dessert shop local to our hotel on the way home so we could stop in and grab some goodies! I couldn’t recommend him enough! I also attached a pic I was able to have taken for me at Petra for reference to the quality!
