Amazing historical tour

5.00Omar was an excellent tour guide today! He was very knowledgable and was so good at suggesting where to take amazing photos. Omar also gave me enough time to explore Madaba and Mount Nebo which had beautiful views of the Holy Land. Seeing the baptism site of Jesus and the river Jordan was very surreal. Thank you again Omar for being a patient and hospitable tour guide. I would highly recommend going on this tour
Great experience in Amman and surrounding areas!

5.00It was a great experience! Mr. Ahmad Omar was punctual, nice, and accommodating. We didn’t feel rushed, and had enough time to see all sites, including side trip shopping. Mr. Omar was kind enough to allow us to change our initial drop off site, and allow to add some sites not included in the initial site listings. He offered great advice and recommendations, such as expected tipping amount to guides, and restaurants. We would definitely get their services again, next time we visit.
Omar was so kind!

5.00Omar was so friendly and knowledgeable as our driver and drop-offs at all the amazing sites we visited. He was even generous enough to take us out of our way to Pink Lake for a small price. He knew English extremely well, and was so friendly and personable! So great to meet you, and my two girls and I felt safe in your hands!
Great experience with a smily face

5.00I was completely satisfied with the self-guided tours and with my transportation expert for the day. The experience was safe and pleasant with zero rushing. I took my time at each stop and lingered leisurely to explore at my own pace. I would definitely repeat the experience!
Excellent trip with Omar

5.00Omar was a kind & helpful gentleman, he communicated well before the trip. He was a careful driver & knew the best places for photographs. We were dropped off outside all the sites & given clear instructions. We definitely recommend taking this tour, especially with Omar thank you for a great day Sarah & Rob
My solo day trip

5.00The sites were as described. The only disappointment was the Baptism Site was unexpectedly closed. Ashram, my driver, was extremely apologetic, even though not his fault. He offered to take me to a few other local sites in Amman to make up for my disappointment. I do feel the price is a bit much since no entrance fees are included and once at the sites, you are on your own, no guide. I was very pleasantly surprised to have a clean, pleasant smelling car…no residual smoke smell, as most vehicles in Amman have. Ashram was an excellent driver with extensive local knowledge.

5.00It was a beautiful and historical route. Our driver was an extraordinary man—friendly and attentive. The three of us (my wife, my child, and I) discussed many topics with him, ranging from history to everyday life. He is an excellent English speaker with the deep knowledge of a professional tour guide.
