4.00Nice tour, driver Bader was particularly nice, sharp on time and very kind. Jerash is a wonderful site if you like Roman ruins, as they are well preserved.
Good experience but extremely overpriced

2.00Basel, our driver was great! He was very punctual picking us up/dropping us off to our local tour guide. We felt very safe in the car with him. The local guide was knowledge, but we had higher expectations given the cost of the private tour. For a fraction of the price, you can take your own taxi from Amman and pay a local guide to show you Jerash for cheap. Highly recommend to do this on your own instead of through a private tour.
You cannot go wrong hiring their tours.

5.00Our driver Bada, picked us up from the Intercontinental Amman on time & drove us to Jerash. He was very helpful & obliging, guiding us through the hoards of touts & sellers. Bada introduced us to our guide Hamid. He led a fascinating tour of Jerash, he was very knowledgeable, friendly and always ready to answer question. At the end od the tour Bada met us, buying us water & juice, he drove us back to Amman and dropped us off in the down town area

5.00Booked this tour through trip advisor and was completely thrilled to be connected with our driver Hasan. He went out of his way before hand to check on the weather and offer us an earlier pickup time for our comfort. He arrived promptly to our hotel pickup location and treated my group to Turkish coffee (which was delicious!) He was considerate, highly knowledgeable, and just a genuinely fun person to get to know and spend the ride with. Our guide at Jerash was also very well versed in the site and a life long scholar, he catered the tour to our specific interests and helped us get to the most photogenic perches. All in all, you will feel safe, well looked after, nourished physically and mentally. I would do it all again, and can't recommend enough.
Great Day Trip to Jerash
