Great Full day Tour - This was an excellent tour. The guide planned it out very well. We covered a lot of distance and it was a full day but we never felt rushed. We asked for a lunch recommendation and were very pleased with his choice. Would recommend.

Must do in Jordan! - I came to Jordan for a specific group tour, but bc I arrived early and the tour I was on wasn’t going to North Jordan, I booked this day trip to make sure I saw as much of Jordan as I could while I was here. Anas was my driver for the day. He was very kind and welcoming! He was very knowledgeable and answered all my questions about Jordan. I appreciated him stopping for coffee and an authentic Jordanian meal during our day trip. This “locals” experience is what I love about travel and what I felt made this a standout tour! I was glad to have booked all three sites even though it made for a long day. I feel like the trip gave me more perspective on Jordan’s history, and I would have regretted not seeing all three places! If you are traveling to Jordan and want to check any - or all - of the places out, you should definitely book this tour with Anas!

Great experience Great driver - Started the day going up to the north of the county to see the ruins of Umm Quais. The drive is quite lovely through the neverending hills of Jordan. Umm Quais has 3 different paths you can take. You will have time for one. Probably go for the Acropolis trail. There is a nice little open air museum you can visit on site. The main thing to see here is the columns, the ruined houses with different colored bricks and the panoramic views. Good way to start the day. The driver, Nidal, was very accommodating asking if you need anything along the way and a good conversationalist. Next stop is Ajloun Castle. Cool place. Can walk around inside in about 30 minutes or so. Little museum inside as well. Good views from the top. A proper castle with a moat and on top of the highest hill. Last stop is Jerash which is the main event. Amazing Roman ruins. You can actually witness the hippodrome still partially intact as well as several gates, theaters and temples. Big place, will take you a couple hours to walk around. A vister center, small museum and bathrooms on site. Great stop. Nidal also left with me with a parting gift and plenty of good cheer. Excellent driving, sites and country side. Perfect day. 5 Stars.
