Unforgettable Petra Experience - Petra is an absolutely unforgettable place and a true wonder of the world. Walking through the Siq and seeing the Treasury for the first time is breathtaking. The scale, history, and beauty of the site are incredible, with stunning views everywhere you go. A must-visit destination in Jordan and an experience I will never forget.

Petra—A site worth seeing (and a tour well worth taking)!! - This was our second stopover day in Jordan and second tour with R&H VIP Transportation driver Mohammad Bardaghawi who again provided terrific service getting us to Petra from Amman and back safely and comfortably. The drive was long—about 3 hours each way—so having someone personable, thoughtful and generous as Mohammad taking you was a real gift! We also had R&H arrange a local guide to lead us through the ruins, and he—Essam Hamadani (sp?)—was also excellent, knowledgeable, and professional. But the trip was well worth it; we’re glad we went and highly recommend this tour when you have limited time—especially if you can get Mohammad to drive you there and Essam as your guide. I would also note they offered lots of options and suggestions for the trip and tour, and were very flexible and catered to the choices we made.

Petra - A bucket list must - Our driver Bardaghawi was extremely approachable and went above and beyond in his duty. Bardaghawi Provided regional information on the way too and from Petra. Conversation was extremely good and made the trip time roll on by. Petra itself was Amazing. Indiana being named after his dog is a small price too pay when confronted with the physical beauty and History of the place. Highly econmended

I’d drive with Bardaghawi again - Bardaghawi Was a great driver! He was prompt, easy to talk to and was willing to stop wherever we asked. If you are tall, you may not have enough legroom in the car he was provided

The Perfect Guide for Exploring Jordan - We had an excellent experience with Shadi as our guide and driver in Jordan. He drove us to Petra one day, and on the following day took us on a full tour to Mount Nebo, the Dead Sea, downtown Amman, and surrounding areas. From start to finish, everything was smooth, well-organized, and enjoyable. Shadi is incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely passionate about his country. He answered all of our questions thoughtfully and never rushed us. My husband reads a lot about history and politics and always has plenty of questions—Shadi was more than happy to engage in deep, interesting discussions, which my husband truly enjoyed. The conversations added so much value to our experience and made the drives fly by. He is a very safe and confident driver, always punctual, and excellent at managing time so we were able to see and experience everything without ever feeling stressed or rushed. He was professional, friendly, and very accommodating, always making sure we were comfortable and getting the most out of each stop. And a bonus we didn’t expect—Shadi is a great photographer! He knew exactly where to stand, how to frame the shot, and patiently took photos at every stop. It honestly felt like traveling with your very own photographer. We highly recommend Shadi to anyone visiting Jordan who wants an informative, engaging, and stress-free experience. He truly made our trip memorable.

Fantastic experience! - Fantastic experience, Petra is amazing! I was astonished by the Siq, such extraordinary work of God! The tour was perfectly organized by the agency, everything went perfect, like a Swiss clock! And Shadi, our guide and driver was extremely knowledgeable, he gave us so many insightful information, not only about the touristical objectives on our trip but also about Jordan overall, plenty of tips to consider on our stay! Naturally, we booked another tour for the next day! :)
