  Our driver was on time for the 2 hour journey to Petra. While he did everything required of him, he didn’t do any more than he had to and was quite surly. Our local guide Mohammed on the other hand was just amazing. He was so passionate about Petra and his knowledge was amazing. Unfortunately the heat, 42C, became too much for me and I was unable to enjoy the full experience of Petra. Our guide was so disappointed that we were unable to do the full tour, but lined up with my husband in the sun for 1-1/2 hours to get us into a golf buggy to get out. I can’t speak highly enough of him. We chose not to do the lunch and as we were on a shore excursion and headed back to the ship, arriving around 3pm. Had we been in a coach tour, I’d have had to wait around for several hours. Money we’ll spent.

• Fantastic tour on every count!

  The driver/ guide Muhat was very knowledgeable and gave us lots of information on the drive from Aqaba to Petra. The lunch was lovely with lots of choices. Our Petra guide Muhammed could not have been any better. His knowledge of Petra history, of the Nabateans, of their Gods, the intricacies of the city were more than we could have ever hoped for.

  Aqaba was a cruise stop for a day and we were met by our driver, Ahmed. He drove us directly to Petra and answered our questions about Jordan. (we decided to skip the lunch.) We were met by our guide Sami, who did an excellent job educating us about the fabulous area. He really cared about this world heritage site AND WAS WONDERFUL TO LEARN FROM. Red Rocks Tours kept in touch right up to getting in their privater vehicle. The cost for a private tour with 2 people was 20% less than taking a bus from the cruise line and cut out several hours of driving time.

• Petra, a great place to visit.

  Petra is an amazing creation of human civilization. We had the private tour, my husband and I was driven to Petra by a driver that had a hard time speaking English, he tried. Our VIATOR tour guide was a slick Bedouin, he only showed us the Treasury, very distracted by the crowd as well his Bedouin friends. I had to pay him extra to guide me to see more of the place. He was supposed to spend 2hours of guided tour but he only spent about 30 minutes. All in all it was the experience of seeing the wonders of Petra that I will remember and nuisance of having to deal with the smell of the donkey and camels’ feces, swarms of flies, the conniving Bedouins, and very expensive tour that was far below my expectations.

• Great day.
