5.00The pickup at hotel by the driver Ayman happened on time. The first stop after almost 2 hours drive was Umm Quais. So early it was very empty here and so you could enjoy the atmosphere. It takes 90 minutes here. After another hour of driving we arrived at the fortress of Ajloun, which unfortunately was typical for the season in the clouds. It was a little busier here. The viewing did not last an hour. Afterwards we went to the unincluded lunch. Unfortunately, this was in a purely tourist place with nevertheless inflated prices. On a private tour, I wished for something more authentic... After almost 45 minutes of driving, the highlight: Jerash! The excavations are very impressive, so you can spend 2 hours here. The return journey took another good hour, so we arrived at the hotel on time. The private tour has the advantage of individual time allocation. You never have to wait for group members. There's a price to pay. Even in a small group I can imagine the tour well.

5.00I enjoyed this trip. It was a long day but we saw 3 amazing sights in the north of Jordan which normally might be intimidating to reach without a local driver. Particularly the viewpoint of Israel, Syria (Golan) and Lebanon mountains from Umm Qais felt moving, and we were about the only tourists there at that time. Aljoun Castle had beautiful views, and Jerash was impressively large and well-preserved Roman ruins. Do note this booking is only including the transportation itself and not actually a guided tour of the sites, but I didn't feel the need to pay for a guide at any of the sites. The lunch stop (not included in the price) of mansaf at a local restaurant was tasty. I’m glad I chose the group tour, as my group were all solo travelers and everyone was fun and chatty! Our driver Mahmoud Alkhawaja was great too.
Memorable Day Exploring Um Qais, Ajloun, and Jerash with a Helpful Driver

5.00I had an excellent day on this tour. Our driver, Emad, was friendly, knowledgeable, and very helpful—he shared insights about Jordanian food, culture, and politics. Since I needed to catch a JETT bus to Aqaba after the tour, he checked the schedules, helped book my ticket, and even drove me to the bus station. Um Qais, Ajloun, and Jerash were all captivating; Jerash in particular impressed me with the scale and superb preservation of its ruins. This well-organized tour efficiently covers the main highlights of northern Jordan—highly recommended.

5.00All visited places are extremely interesting and the tour is well catered to fit enough time in each and, with group's accordance, small adjustments can be done to accommodate more or less time in each site. Pick-up service is so off the charts and driver was incredibly friendly and acknowledged on the sites and more, Ibrahem Althodan, went above and beyond to make sure all was in place for us to enjoy it.
Must do!

5.00Had an amazing experience exploring northern Jordan with Faisal! The food he recommended was incredible, and he made sure we tried the best local spots. He’s a genuinely kind and friendly guy, and the time we spent in the car with him was fun, comfortable, and full of great conversation. Highly recommend him — thank you, Faisal, for an unforgettable day!
Great day trip from Amman!

5.00I had a fantastic day trip to Jerash! My driver, Mr. MUSTAFA, was incredibly kind and professional throughout the journey. He shared so much insight into the history of Amman and pointed out important landmarks along the way, which made the drive both informative and enjoyable. The visit to Jerash itself was absolutely phenomenal—the ancient ruins are breathtaking and truly worth experiencing in person. Everything was smooth and well-organized, and I felt very well taken care of. I highly recommend this trip, especially with Mr. MUSTAFA as your driver. It was an unforgettable experience!
We had an amazing experience

5.00We had an amazing experience with our driver Younes during our trip to Jerash and Ajoun Everything was super professional, smooth, and safe from start to finish. He was always punctual, polite, and very knowledgeable, making us feel comfortable and well taken care of throughout the journey. We especially appreciated his calm and careful driving, which made even the longer rides relaxing and enjoyable. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a reliable and top-notch driver and really professional also in giving hints and recommendations for the journey and visits.
