Extraordinary - Amazing beauty. Fraternity of the person who received and guided us. Amman seemed to us to be a very organized city. The majesty of nature and culture of what Petra represented to humanity

Amazing solo trip to Petra - My guide, Hassan, did an excellent job introducing me to Jordan. He was very friendly and flexible. I was able to fully enjoy Petra and its many sites. I plan to do a longer trip to Wadi Rum and Aqaba in the future.

Petra is beyond amazing. - Firstly, our driver and guide were simply incredible. Firas (our driver) was kind, knowledgeable, funny and engaging the entire way there and back. Upon arrival to Petra, he managed the process of acquiring our tickets and introducing us to our guide, Mariam. Marium was probably the best guide our family has ever had in our travels. The vast majority of guides in this part of the world are men, so my girls loved that we were able to get such an incredible woman. Mariam was a teacher in her prior career and it showed in her current one. She was great with my two girls and family overall and had the perfect amount of information to share along our journey through Petra. The sites and history of this magical place were beyond beautiful and mesmerizing. Additionally, but not to be overlooked, Mariam was a great photographer. She was very creative for all videos and photos. The volume of tourists on our trip was well below the norm given the current conflicts in adjacent countries, but we felt more than safe the entire time. Overall, I highly recommend this tour and our guides.

Nice short trip to Jordan - Mahmoud has been a very helpful and caring driver. He even brought us to some places away from usual tourist routes in Amman. His connection with the right guide allowed us to spend a magnificent day in Petra.

Petra - Was everything that I expected the walk up to the monastery was a bit grueling and we had rain on the way down, but was an absolutely beautiful site.

Fantastic BUT Nickle & Dimed ALL DAY LONG - Due to Petra itself was bit disappointed that after $300 per person we had to spend an added $100 for a cart $50 and mule $50 then $35 to see tombs close up so all in $435 and negotiate each time. Except for cart which we needed due to mobility Petra itself was fabulous but be prepared to be bothered by vendors ALL day long even at the lunch included

A hidden treasure in a hidden city - Our driver was very friendly, kind, and knowledgeable. He made sure that we were taking cared of with water, food, and once we arrived at petra he wasn't our tour guide inside of Petra which was a bummer. I think if that can be changed the experience would have been 100 percent better. Petra is definitely a sight to see please wear sneakers on this excursions it involves a lot of walking. But its worth it.
