5.00Trip trip went very well. The driver contacted us the day before to confirm pick up arrangements, he arrived early at our hotel on the morning, and he was both friendly and informative for the 1 hour drive to the destination. We stayed a little longer at the destination than planned, but our driver was most accommodating, and assured us that there was no problem. Also the guide that showed us around the site was most informative and interesting. All in all a very good day. I'd rate this experience as a 10 out of 10. Regards, Mark Small

5.00We had a great day with Zaid. He was a very friendly driver for our trip up to Jerash and had some good tips for us both once we got into Jerash as well as for Amman and the rest of our trip. He recommended a nice restaurant on the way back and offered to add on a stop at King Hussein Mosque. Would definitely use the company again for future travel.

5.00The tour was amazing! Our driver is the best- his name is Bardaghawi. He showed us the local fruits/drinks with good/reasonable prices. On the way to the attractions, he gave us a lot of information about Jordan and Jordanians daily life, we have learnt a lot, it felt as if we were going with a tour guide!
Beautiful trip to Jerash and Ajloun Castle

5.00I did a solo half day tour to Jerash and Ajloun from Amman. My driver was Anas, who was prompt in picking me up from my hotel. He was a great conversationalist and made the trip to Jerash go by very smoothly. While Anas is not a personal guide of the locations I visited and the cost of entry is was not included in the cost of booking (I had the Jordan pass so both Jerash Archaelogical Site and Ajloun Castle were free), he did add a couple extra spots on the tour to show me that he thought I might be interested in. Jordanian hospitality is second to none and he even had me sample some local fruit on the way back to Amman. He is able to communicate fluently in English and Arabic and has very good spoken French as well. All in all, I had a very good experience with Anas and I would use his services again in the future.
