This was a really excellent way to see a few highlights of Jordan, and was really excellent value for money. The guides made the border crossing a lot easier and quicker than it likely would have been navigating it on my own. The camp in Wadi Rum was great, and the time in Petra was incredible. Highly recommend the 3-day tour over the 1- or 2-day options, as there is so much to do in Petra - having the extra day there was well worth it. If you leave from Tel Aviv or Jerusalem it is quite an early pick-up and late drop-off, but if you can sleep on buses then this is not a problem - it means that you have almost three full days exploring Jordan.

Amazing experience. Wadi Rum and Petra are a once in a lifetime experience. Very well organized. Only the accommodation and food in Petra that was provided, was not acceptable at all.

The entire trip was excellent! It was better than I anticipated. I recommend this trip to anyone!

Awesome the only problems it was the bus arrived 1 1/2 late whoever the tour was phenomenal

I recommend this trip. Despite a delayed start we had a great trip!
