Individual und interesting tour to Petra with a gentle guide

5.00Together with a friend I have chosen Jordan Private Tours and Travel for a one day-trip to Petra. Our guide Khader has picked us up punctually at the hotel. His car was modern and clean. He speaks perfectly English. So it was no problem to follow all his interesting stories about historic and modern places along the way to Petra. He noticed that we are also interested in historic buildings from the Crusader period. So he made a short detour to show us the view to castle Montreal, constructed by king Balduin I. We really enjoyed the time with him. After the visit of Petra he has guided us to a buffet restaurant. In a tourist hotspot like Petra we expected an expensive but worse restaurant. They offered the good buffet for an affordable price (with 1 drink round about 15 JOD per person. The ride back was safe again. We could really recommend this agency and its guide Khaled.
A great day in Petra!

5.00Our full-day tour from Amman to Petra and the Dead Sea was absolutely incredible, and a huge part of that was thanks to our phenomenal guide, Ahmed! From start to finish, he delivered a truly 5-star experience that exceeded all our expectations. Ahmed was incredibly timely, arriving exactly when he said he would, which set a professional and reassuring tone for the entire day. Throughout the journey, he proved to be exceptionally informative. His knowledge of both Petra and the Dead Sea, as well as the history and culture of Jordan, was vast and fascinating. He shared insights and stories that truly brought each site to life, answering all our questions with patience and enthusiasm. Beyond his extensive knowledge, Ahmed's professionalism shone through in every interaction. He was courteous, attentive, and ensured our comfort and safety at all times. He navigated the logistics of the long day seamlessly, making the entire trip feel effortless and enjoyable. We cannot recommend Ahmed highly enough. If you're looking for a knowledgeable, punctual, and wonderfully professional guide for your Jordanian adventure, look no further – Ahmed is simply the best! Thank you for an unforgettable day!
Awesome experience

5.00The driver and site guide were excellent, both went the extra mile to meet our needs and wants. Everything went smoothly and on time, actually Ahmed, the site guide, went beyond the time contracted for to show us and explain details of Petra. Khalid the driver was a pleasant and reassuring part of the day. Thank you to both.
Munir was the best!
