Day trip - We had the pleasure to drive with Omar. He was polite, patient and thoughtful. The car was very clean and comfortable. Our trip was enjoyable and the sights were amaizing. The time was sufficient to cover all three places. Tipping the local guides is expected. Vendors are persistent and bargaining on the price is acceptable. Highly recommend. Thank you very much!

Great Experience - Great experience. Umm Qais was my favorite stop of the 3 which surprised me. But all 3 locations had great architecture and were beautiful. Driver Omar was extremely friendly and made an effort to stop at numerous spots with great views for picture. By far the friendliest city I have ever visited.
