Awesome experience - This experience was great! Our tour guide was very knowledgeable about Petra. Our driver, Ibrahim, was also pretty knowledgeable about the city of Petra. He got us from our hotel and back safely and in no time! He allowed plenty of opportunities for bathroom stops and just overall taking care of us. Ibrahim was awesome!

A Wonderful Experience - The drive from the hotel in Amman was long, but pleasant. It allowed us to see the vast countryside, the mining industry, the farming, and the desert. Since it was Ramadan, traffic was light and the only issues were speed bumps and police checkpoints. We had pleasant conversation with the driver Wo was very concerned about our comfort and health. Halfway each way was a restroom and snack stop with very pleasant and clean bathrooms. When we arrived the guide escorted us to get a golf cart ride to the Treasury. It was or would have been a long, long walk. We saw it and decided to return without going further. Overall it was a wonderful tour for the two of us 72 year-olds.

Remarkable Guides for an Incredible Journey - Adnan began our day graciously and punctually. All along our way to Petra, he gave us a true sense of life about his well loved home country of Jordan. Truly enlightening. When we arrived at Petra, he gave us clear directions as to how our day would go and handed our group into the competent and friendly leadership of Mohammed. He was extremely knowledgeable about the history and topography of the incredible sights we were to behold and her took wonderful pictures to capture this memory for us. I cannot recommend these two men more highly to be your guides for this once in a lifetime experience.

The Best Tour of Petra! - Adnan was our driver for a day trip to Petra. He was professional, prompt, courteous, and knowledgeable. He made the day a memorable experience from pickup to drop-off. I highly recommend him. Dr. Mohammed was our tour guide and his knowledge was encyclopedic. He gave a comprehensive tour and answered all of our questions clearly. You would be doubly blessed to have these two exceptional people as your driver and tour guide. They come with my highest recommendation. Ask for them when you book a Petra trip!

Petra Trip - Bardaghawi was a great driver. Communication made the process smooth, the food and conversation with him was good, and Petra was unbelieveable. I would highly recommend this trip and Bardaghawi to anyone. Visit Jordan if you are thinking about it; it is well worth it.

Ancient wonders, rose-red cliffs, and unforgettable history brought to life - Our Amman to Petra trip was seamless thanks to our driver, the professional, punctual, and friendly Ahmad Mousa. He picked us up bright and early at the airport, shared local insight, drove safely, and made the journey relaxing and memorable. He put us at ease with a late booking on our end, trying to spend our one day in Jordan well.
