Petra Exceeds Expectations! - We had a great experience from start to finish! Our tour to Petra was absolutely incredible. Muhammad, our driver, was punctual, sent pictures of his car/plates beforehand, and was happy to share information about the country and culture along the way - he even treated us to some local refreshments on the way and something to cool us off on the way back. The car was clean and we felt looked after the entire time. We opted for the full experience with the tour guide and it was well worth it - the Bedouin tour guides are super knowledgeable and it's a great way to help support the local community. Petra is absolutely stunning, and we'd highly suggest Muhammad as your driver if given the opportunity!

Excellent experience @ Petra - Great experience from beginnging to the end. Our driver, Mohammad Bardaghawi, was super profressional from the beginning (contacted us via WhatsApp the day before, arrived early w/ pictures of his car/plates), and treated us to some local refreshments on the way to Petra as well as something to cool us down on the way back. The drive was easy (it's a bit long but so worth it) and there were good vibes all around. Petra speaks for itself, and I'd highly recommend choosing to hire one of the local Bedouin tour guides as they are extremely knowledgable and passionate about the area. Super cool experience and I'd recommend this tour to anyone that wants to experience the magic of Petra and it's place in history - if Mohammad is your driver, you know you'll be in good hands.

Nice Trip to Petra - I had a wonderful day. The driver, Muhammad Ali, was on time and friendly. He helped me a lot in planning my time at Petra, and I could see all what I wanted to see in a limited time I had there.

Petra day tour with Adnan - Adnan The best trip! Adnan was the best driver. He was so kind and very knowledgeable. We stopped for breakfast at this awesome shop and he helped us with the buffet and scarfs for our time in Petra. Adnan answered all of our questions and gave us great advice on things to do and things to avoid while inside Petra. I would recommend this tour with Adnan to anyone that is thinking about it!

Petra Done Right - Petra is a MUST-SEE bucket list experience truly a sight to behold. I cannot say enough good things about the tour guide company. My driver - Bardaghawi is simply a gem of a human being. His professionalism and courtesy is exceptional. He arrived on time and waited patiently for me to arrive. I would advise anyone doing this tour - leave no later than 8/830 as Petra demands a full day from you. The drive from Amman to Petra is approx 3 hrs, but Bardaghawi made the ride enjoyable and very informative. Once we were there, Bardaghawi gave me his wifi, so we could communicate - how cool was that - not only was i able to communicate via whatsapp to him, but also with family to let them see what i was seeing. Make sure you get the Jordan Pass, as it makes seeing sites around Jordan much more economical. Bardaghawi gave me tips of how to use the golf carts both ways from the Treasury to save overall time. What a tip! I will highly recommend this company and this driver. They know their stuff!

Petra Done Right! - Petra is breathtaking! its a must see once in a lifetime bucket list adventure! The services provided by R&H VIP is excellent. My driver Bardaghawi was excellent. Bardaghawi arrived on time, he waited patiently for me outside my hotel and greeted me with a map of the site and warm smile. Bardaghawi is a safe driver, and the 3 hours to the site was spent in conversation (education of the region and the landscape along the way). Our rest stop site was great - allowed for tea and tourist activities. His advice once we got to Petra was spot on. Petra itself is magnificent!. I highly recommend Bardaghawi and his company. I will be using them again. I recommend to all dont just go to the Treasury, but trek on foot to the Monastery - dont wimp out and do donkeys! - :) Petra is a magnificent site and i will be back. Thank you Bardaghawi for being a wonderful guide and person.

A*** service by Mohammed Ali! - Mohamed Ali, was our driver chosen for us via our booking made on ‘GetYourGuide’ for the ‘Petra Full-Day Private Tour’ from Amman. We could not have been more pleased with Mohamed Ali, who reached out to us the day before to confirm our booking and to also make enquiries regards any additional activities that we might have been interested in - due to our tight deadline, we declined as we had dinner reservations back in Amman; which we didn’t miss due to Mohammed Ali’s brilliant navigation through Amman during the last 30mins of Ramadan (If you have experienced it you know what I mean). Mohamed Ali’s local knowledge of Amman was very insightful, reinforced also of his broader knowledge of Jordan and the tours he offered- I have kept his number for this very reason as we are likely to return! A great experience, comfortable car, insightful conversations on route to Amman. We couldn’t ask for me. Thank you! (We hope your hand is better now!)
