Simply Amazing!

5.00Our driver, Munther, made this entire experience well worth it and very enjoyable. We knew it would be a long day to begin with but his pleasant demeanor and enjoyable conversation made the long ride back and forth between Amman, Petra, and Wadi Rum enjoyable. The sites themselves were amazing. Our local tour guide in Petra was extremely knowledgeable and made the entire tour seemed more like friends hanging out and sharing insights vice “being paid for a service”. Wadi Rum was also very much worth the trip! We didn’t want to do the jeep tour initially, but with Munther’s suggestion, we opted for it and LOVED it!! Def must do. Overall, from Munther’s initial contact to confirm meeting time and place, to being dropped back off at our hotel - and even despite the very long day with a toddler, this entire tour was just simply amazing!
Good Tour and Great Driver !

5.00Hassan our tour driver was the best ! Very nice man that explained us the culture of Jordan very well and also safe driver and took very well of us . I would highly recommend this tour and also Hassan as your tour driver. The restaurant we went for lunch was fantastic with local food . Even though we could not make it to radi rum which was included in the package due to some fixing in Petra by the government we love the tour and our driver.
