Mohammed was great and catered to everything I wanted to do in Petra - time there to explore, tips while in Petra, shawarma, sunset, airport drop off. Extremely accommodating and highly recommend if you have 1 day in Jordan and want to explore Petra!

Mohammad was our driver and he was really a very friendly man - a 7am start and he was waiting for us in the hotel lobby as we emerged from the lift. His car was new and very comfortable. He was very welcoming and as we drove out of the city was offering out good information about the history of the area. For the journey home, he gave us his number and when we reached the exit gates, gave him a call and within ten minutes he had collected us and we were on our way back to Amman. The only complaint I have though was the amount of stops on the journey going there. Leaving Amman the driver stopped to pick up some post. Then stopped for a coffee. Then stopped for a cigarette. Then we stopped for the driver to have his breakfast!! Oh and then we were stopped by police… That breakfast stop was incredibly annoying as we were the only tourists there; we weren’t hungry and already had drinks in the car, so we were stood around for 15 minutes needlessly waiting for him to eat. It was a long journey that was made even longer - probably about an hour additionally including all stops - ultimately the journey was catered for the driver not the paying customer and this is extra time we could have had in Petra. Moaning aside, it was a very good tour and a very enjoyable day - Petra is a must see for anyone in Jordan!

We had a wonderful experience seeing Petra and highly recommend the tour company - Jordan Private Tours & Travel (JPTT). Our driver from Amman to Petra - Ahmed - was a very nice gentleman that we thouroughly enjoyed talking with on the trip to Petra & the rturn to Amman. He also arranged for a very good guide that we had while visiting Petra. We found JPTT to be a very professional tour company and based on our experience would definitaly reccomend it to others.

It’s been a week since our trip to Petra but we still keep talking about that experience. We were a family of 5 and we chose the private tour since we were on a short stay in Amman. Jafar the driver pick us up in our hotel on time and gave us a thorough do’s and don’ts while in Petra, he is very knowledgeable about everything. He made us feel safe and made our trip an enjoyable one. Thank you, Jafar,”See you tomorrow “!
