One reason I think this activity was so great is that it can either serve as a “cool down” adventure after you see the top wonders such as Petra and the Dead Sea, or a trip to start off your trip in Jordan! While people mostly only know of those two sites, this trip shows you just how much history Jordan actually has! From the Romans, to the Ottomans, to the defenses they used- this trip has it all! In addition, my tour guide Ramzi was fantastic. Prior to leaving the country as this was my last day- I wanted to be able to see the citadel in Amman, and Ramzi offered to not only drive me to it after the tour but wait for me to be done so I can be driven back to my hotel! He really went out of his way to make this tour in Jordan a good one and make sure as an American I felt safe and enjoyed my stay! Thank you again!

Am so very happy to have done this day trip!! The tour was really incredible & I feel like I got to learn & see alot!! We had two tour guides- one for Bethlehem & another for Jerico & the Jordan River. Both were amazing!! Being locals, they had so much insight to the regions as well as both Biblical & historical knowledge that really helped to give context to where we were. Elias, our guide for Bethlehem, is an architect so he was able to really speak to the Shepherd's Field, Milk Grotto Church & Church of Nativity & Ziad, our guide for Jerico & the Jordan River really taught us about the area & even showed us places to get delicious coffee & baklava!! Overall it was a wonderful tour. Seeing the historic places was really special!! Am truly grateful!!

The activity was great! We took the Umm Qais, Ajloun and Jerash option and it was phenomenal. Um Qais and Jerash were breathtaking!! Our driver, Ahmad, was very professional and on time. He even took us to an amazing view where you see the Golan heights, Southern Lebanon and Palestine. The whole Levant in your view. Ajloun was okay, so if you skip it, you won’t miss much. But Jerash and Umm Qais are a must!

My trip with Raed was great! He was very accomodating as I realized I had last minute extra time and was able to tack on an additional excursion to our plan for the day. Jerash was definitely worth the visit and I'm glad I was able to see it on this trip!

Everything was perfect!!! Saadeh, our driver, was so kind, he bought is delicious food and drinks!! He is the best!!!
