A very comfortable excursion around remarkable and contrasting sites

We were accompanied from Amman by Mohamad Ali, experienced and friendly driver, who did not hesitate to stop here and there to discover beautiful landscapes, and facilitated the trip in many ways. The sites visited were each remarkable in their own way, evoking the successive civilizations that left their mark there; the moving atmosphere and contrast of the black basalt and white limestone of the columns of Umm Qais, Saladin's shadow between the solid walls of the fortress of Ajloun, and the grandeur and elegance of the Jerash site.
Great experience with Hasan

We had a wonderful experience with our guide and driver, Hasan. We decided to do this tour on our second day of being in Jordan. We visited Umm Qais/Gadara, Aljoun Castle and Jerash. The whole tour was very well planned. We chose to get some local guides at 2 of these locations so we could learn more about the history. Hasan drove us to all these locations and patiently waited for us at local restaurants until we were done with visiting the historical spots. He never rushed us. He was very kind and respectful. He talked about life in Jordan, discussed mutual interests and hobbies, and he even gave us some tips on how to best visit his wonderful country since it was the beginning of our trip. He gave us several surprises and treats throughout the trip. He bought us some welcome drinks, took us to a beautiful secret viewpoint and took pictures for us. The most thoughtful gift of this tour was that he surprised us with some personalized souvenirs that he bought for us while we were out exploring Jerash. We had the best experience on this tour because of Hasan! We will be recommending him to all our friends and family who are thinking of visiting Jordan!
Great Private Trip.

The trip commenced as per schedule on 27 May 2023. Driver Mr.Ahmed Habibi was punctual and picked us up from our place well on time. He was soft spoken and drove around to all the listed places safely. Not only that, he also offered refreshments time to time. Time spent at each place was adequate. Overall, we had a wonderful experience and highly recommend this tour to everyone. If you happen to get this driver, that will be an added bonus to the trip :)

Guide was taxi driver. Never guided. Nice guy. Answered our ?’s when we had them. Dialogue, not! Never got out of car. Dropped off and waited. I have hard time walking. Worst was JERASH. Dropped us off at entrance and waited, so we had to walk thru park and then do return walk same way to meet him instead of driving around and meeting us at rear entrance. Good driver. Very friendly.

This was a well-paced tour which allowed us plenty of time to see the attractions without feeling rushed. Alaa our driver made the travel time very comfortable and even gave us a pocket wifi device so that we could stay connected throughout the day. All went to according to plan! Highly recommended for solo, couples or travellers in a small group.
Fantastic experience with a genuinely friendly person!

We had a great experience with our driver, Mohammad Ghaith, on our day trip to Um Quais, Ajloun, and Jerash. He was very good company and offered insightful tips for things to do, places to eat, and places to stay all over Jordan. He is very experienced as a tour guide and a very friendly person. I would highly recommend him to anyone!
Amazing sites! So many important sites to visit and learn about, driven safely by Hani. Hani made sure we were happy!
