Smooth tour - We had a terrific experience over our entire trip. Our priorities guided the careful planning of the holiday, with today reserved for the journey north of Jordan. The Jordanians' generosity and how well-planned everything was shocked me. I suggest it to everyone who travels to Jordan!

Really wonderful day trip - Our driver, Mazin, was excellent throughout our day excursion to Umm Quais, Ajloun, and Jerash. He provided insightful advice on where to dine, what to do, and other details and was a pleasure to be around. He is a really amiable guy and has a great deal of expertise as a tour guide. I heartily endorse him to everyone!

Fantastic experience - With our driver Ahmad, we had a fantastic time. We have been to Ajloun, Jerash and Um Qais. Ahmad gave us a thorough tour of all the important attractions and other interesting information about Jordan and its culture during the tour, which was enjoyable.

3 Jordanian sites well worth visiting. - Most tourists in Jordan head to Petra and the Dead Sea. I strongly suggest that they also go to Jerash and Umm Qais. What the Romans left behind is really amazing and thankfully much of theses two cities are well preserved for us to see 2 thousand years later. Jerash is truly amazing. It is massive and also built as a work of art that is especially impressive today, when buildings and cities are only built for practicality. Umm Qais is lower key but also special. And it is odd to look west from it, in Jordan, and see Israel and the Sea of Galilee so close by. And if you are into the history of the area and of the period of the Crusaders, you really should check out the Mohammadians castle/fortress at Aijoun. It is a very impressive defensive structure. Also, our driver, Tahir, was a pleasant gentleman and very safe driver. The vehicle he drove was extremely clean and comfortable.

Wonderful trip! - Our driver for the trip was Muhammad, who was quite polite. On the way home, he brought us to Jerash for lunch, where we had a delicious meal. Anybody should be advised.

Magnificent trip! - Excellent day trip to Jerash, Ajloun, and Umm Qais. Our driver, Ahmed, was excellent; he was witty, kind, and knowledgable, eager to give the background of these locations as well as his own advice for having a successful trip to Jordan. I'm excited to recommend this fantastic tour.

Okay so don’t let the... - Okay so don’t let the other reviews fool you. This trip does NOT come with a tour guide like the other reviews state. You are paying just for a driver. Our driver said less than 5 words to us. I dreaded going back into the car. The drive made us feel so nauseous. It felt like he was a fast and furious driver. When I contacted the company asking about clarification of the tour guide they never got back to me.
