We just came back from the 3 day tour visiting some of Jordan's most famous places. The highlights for us were little Petra, Petra and Wadi Rum, where we would have preferred to stay a bit longer as it's really a unique and beautiful place. On the way to Petra we stopped by other famous places to see which were nice, but not really comparable. On the way back to Amman we stopped at the Crown Plaza hotel at the dead sea to enjoy a great lunch buffet and spend a few hours at the sea, mud bath included. We have chosen the option with a driver and organized our accommodations and tickets ourselves (make sure to get the Jordan Pass) and we're really happy about it. Our driver Mohannad really made our trip special as he is very knowledgeable and explained us a lot about Jordan, the region, it's peoples and food. He also gave us great options and recommendations along the way and made sure we can always flexibly decide what we want to do. Thanks a lot Mohannad, we really appreciate it!

Ugh what a great experience! I’m not even THAT religious of a person yet mount nebo and seeing the spot where Moses died was fascinating. In addition, I can’t say enough about the Dead Sea- what a great experience! You don’t realize just how buoyant it is until you are there! And to top it off the 5 star hotel in addition to a buffet lunch was amazing. While the sites were an amazing experience I also feel this trip wouldn’t have been nearly as much fun without my guide Ramzi. He showed me stops along the way such as how Jordanians make tile art, in addition to taking me on shorter ways between Mount Nebo and the Baptism site in order to cut down on driving time and give me more time at the Dead Sea. Thank you very much! If you are in Jordan this is definitely the tour for you!

I reckon our guide Ihab is the biggest reason that we liked our tour the most and felt comfortable as well as safe especially because are 2 female travellers. He still has passion to explain history and places. We loved that he is a amazing photographer !!! You will love all the photos that we take for you. He is very understanding and gentle in general and nice person and sorry for the late commenting!

Fantastic tour. What a fabulous religious history these places possess. Shadi has been an exceptional guide throughout, very courteous, flexible and with amazing knowledge of local history. Highly recommended.
