What people are saying about Amman

This experience while condensed is an unbelievable way to visit Petra and Wadi Rum for the first time. You will get the most out of your time and see why Wadi Rum and Petra are so famous. My driver Yuones helped make my day perfect. He was completely accommodating to my every need and want that I had for my trip. He arrived on time and was waiting for me as planned after Petra and the ATV ride. Also a great person to talk to and learn about life in Jordan.

Great tour! Driver was punctual and everything was thorough and done on time. The local guide at the Citadel was very knowledgeable and provided detailed history and the best photo locations. Driving through Amman and seeing the other local highlights provided a nice backdrop to life in the city and the various neighborhoods. Recommend this for a quick day trip to Amman!

Muhammed was an excellent tour guide. We enjoyed the stops and chats along the way. Petra was breathtaking. Wadi Rum was amazing. I can see why movie studios have shot movies in both places. I would visit Jordan again just to visit both places again. I would like to spend a night in Wadi Rum. It seemed so peaceful.

Good accomodation Tour Guide Is so friendly and helpfull I have wonderfull experience
