5.00From start to finish this trip has been nothing but perfection, the driver Bardaghawi arrived on time and was very friendly, polite and informative about Jordan and made us feel very welcome and excited for the day ahead. The tour guide was excellent very informative and friendly i couldn’t imagine the experience going any better. If you’re thinking about coming to Jordan and seeing Petra I would highly recommend it and to not be put off by any on going conflict because Jordan has been very safe and friendly.

5.00Great day with Adnan! Adnan was as adorable as he was professional. Always smiling, caring and helpful, he contributed greatly to making this day unforgettable. A big thank you to him for his kindness! I recommend this experience 100%!
Amazing. Highly recommend ✨ (23hr layover)

5.00Amazing experience from the start to the end. I can’t recommend SHADI enough - he was amazing throughout the whole trip. His patience, kindness and humour will stay with us for a long time! Events occurred: - Shadi messaged on WhatsApp to confirm our arrival - Collected at airport and drove straight to Petra, had cold water bottles in the car - Stopped over at a rest point halfway the trip to grab a snack, drink, use the bathroom or to shop - Continued on to Petra, Shadi asked if we wanted a guide, and we said yes - Before arriving at the visitors centre, he took a photo of us at a photo point and told us about the mountains in the back and that it was Petra! - Dropped us off at the visitors centre and introduced to our guide - PETRA IS WORTH THE VISIT, we only had 2-3hrs but I suggest at least the whole day with a guide! - Shadi waited for us to finish and we took a detour to the Dead Sea - Again, Shadi waited for us for 2hrs and then we went back to Amman for our overnight stay Overall, Jordan is a gorgeous country, it’s a shame we only saw it on our 23hr layover but we’ll definitely be back. Having Shadi and talking with him made the journey a lot faster and was great company. ☺️☺️

5.00The trip was an absolutely amazing experience, my driver Bardaghawi had me lost for words at how generous and eager he was to make my trip as enjoyable as possible from start to finish. One of the best guides I have ever had and hope to have him for tours again back in Jordan!
A simple day out with stunning scenery

5.00The service to get there was painless and easy on me, easily managed to get a ticket and get on the hike. The views were breathtaking and the hiking wasn’t even that difficult if you stay on the main path. My driver - Shadi - was very accommodating and helpful with tips of what to do and what not to do once I got there.
Drive to Petra with Faisal

- Review from Tripadvisor
5.00Faisal was a fantantic driver. Not only he wery respectfull and his comunications was very good in English. We felt safe and in good hands all the time. We were constantly running late but Faisal was very patient and waited for us every time. Not only we had a great drive to Petra and back in the clean car but also we learned few local things about Amman and few words in arabic, but also few photographic tricks since he is a good photogtapher too. On top of that we got some nice sweet treat on the way and water. Faisal took real good care of us. Thank you! P.s. He has the most adorable cat Killua :) make sure to ask him to show you the pictures of Killua
