5.0Do not hesitate to reserve! This tour is with an experienced guide named Bassil who has 18+ years giving tours at Petra. After booking on Viator, I reached out on the platform to Bassil for their WhatsApp contact to continue conversation and make special requests. I wanted to see the Monastery at Sunrise (7:30am) which requires very careful planning and logistics including reserving mules and checking with the gate guards one day early. Bassil fully delivered and not only did we arrive early at the Monastery at 6:57am, we were the first ones in the whole park! It was completely empty and we enjoyed a serene moment watching the sunrise and pink sky in the horizon. I will try to post a picture in this review. After 90 minutes alone in the Monastery, other tourists began showing up. We left at about 10am to explore the rest of Petra. Bassil took us to the Marketplace, Theater, Royal Tombs, and more caves, before finishing up at the Treasury (iconic spot). Bassil gave a history lecture at each site. There were a few stops along the way for restrooms, beverages, sitting down, etc. Petra is actually very well developed while it balances an authentic archaeological experience. I found plenty of broken pottery and marble pieces on the ground along the paths, it is really an excavation that is still alive! I am also a coin collector and Bassil helped me find a Bedouin seller of nice looking replica coins nearby the Marketplace. Bassil also recommended more things to do and places to eat in Petra. Bassil went WAY above and beyond by helping us buy new Bedouin winter coats "Farwa" (they were giving Star Wars Jawa vibes), brought them to our hotel to try on later that night with no obligation to purchase. Wow!!! (And yes we did buy them, and yes they look awesome with jeans and white tennis shoes.) Tourism has dropped in Jordan in general and Petra specifically, but it is still very safe and everyone we have met are extremely welcoming, hospitable, and helpful. I recommend you visit Petra and book a guided experience with Bassil!
Absolutely amazing !

5.0Our tour with Bassil was incredible ! My boyfriend and I really enjoyed and appreciated all the information Bassil shared with us. Thanks to him, we discovered a lot about Petra and its origin, Jordan people and culture. If you have to choose one tour in Petra pick this one ! You will take the back entrance road which is less touristic and you will see all the treasures of the antic city from a different view. Really an amazing tour and guide ! Go ahead !
A must donwith Bassil!

5.0100% recommend booking this tour with Bassil. It was an amazing experience that we will remember forever. The trek from the back door is breathtaking and builds on the experience of Petra. Bassil was absolutely fantastic, very kind and knowledgeable. We enjoyed spending the day with him. Jordan has been an incredible experience for us and this tour was definitely a highlight.
Fantastic
