Shadi our driver gave us five star private tour service! He’s a wealth of knowledge and adjusted our tour due to the weather and it didn’t take away from the experience of all the wonderful events for the day. I definitely would suggest this tour and all the locations were worth seeing!

Bader was our guide in this experience, because he speaks several languages and we could converse in Spanish, his treatment was very friendly and pleasant as he knows very well the tourist sites we visited. You should take this tour because you tour sites of great historical importance accompanied by local people who guide and help you along the way. Bader is friendly, very helpful and empathetic which makes the experience more pleasant.

I had an amazing experience with our tour driver, and I highly recommend his service to anyone visiting the area. He was professional, and friendly throughout the entire trip. His driving was safe and smooth, and he always made sure I felt comfortable. He also shared interesting local insights and went out of his way to accommodate my needs. Thanks to him, I enjoyed a relaxing and memorable journey. I truly appreciate his kindness, patience, and excellent service. I would gladly book with him again and encourage others to do the same.

We had an appointment with our driver for 9 a.m. Mahmoud Awad was super punctual and was already waiting for us. With him we had a wonderful and informative day trip to Madaba , Mount Nebo and the baptismal font on the Jordan River. Mahmoud gets an extra 5 stars where we were in the best hands.

This tour was a great opportunity to enjoy the history of the area. I particulary enjoyed the Baptism site, where you will get a guided tour, see the historic landmarks (like the actual site Jesus was baptized at), and some of the churches built more recently; and get to touch the Jordan river. My driver Bardaghawi was great - he added on a site on the way since it was included in my Jordan Pass, hunted down a post office for me, and provided lots of historic and current context throughout. I would highly recommend this tour, and Bardaghawi as a driver!

What a nice experience this was! I rarely put comments only but literally this was a 10/10! Our tour guide was Mumen and he was fantastic! Very kind and warm! He gave us details about the sites we visited, and even more recommendations for what to do and places to visit while in Jordan! At the end of the tour he took us to eat some typical Jordanian desserts and it was overall a fantastic experience!!! 10/10! Kudos to Mumen, he’s the best!
