the great notrh of the kingdom - El tour fue increíble, realmente la pasamos súper bien. We wish we coukd have more timr to visit Jerash, what a wonderful roman site. Faisal, our guide, was really hepfull and kind with us, giving us even more time in the stops and recomendations, He took us to a great restaurant Artemis. The observation from Umm Qais of Palestine, Israel, Syria and the Galilea See were awesome. The castle of Ajloun is also such a great place to visit, nice views from the top.

Absolutely Amazing - I was traveling with my wife and two teenage daughters, we had Amazing tour and superb service by our guide Khader, very informative and took the time to make sure we didn’t miss anything. Highly recommended. It’s a lot to cover in one day and needed to leave early morning and return late at night, our guide even took the time to have us make some stops back in Amman to get food and a different place to pick up some of the best dessert Amman has to offer, the guide went above and beyond and was very friendly which made us feel like family to him. Petra is well worth the trip, although I recommend one full day to tour Petra and take your time if your schedule allows. We were in Jordan for only two days which we had to combine it with Wadi Rum to maximize what we tour. Wadi Rum was amazing and we felt we made a trip to Mars, the dessert and the mountains are unique and totally worth it. We felt very safe and comfortable throughout our trip to Jordan and highly recommended for families traveling with children

Perfect guide on a rainy day :) - My guide Ahmad took great care of me for a whole day under the extreme bad weather. It was raining crazily the whole morning. Ahmad was so kind to greet me with coffee and cookies in the car when I was back to the car after the site visit with my whole body all wet. I won’t forget to afternoon tea he treated me on our way back during the peak-hour traffic. Great thanks for driving me so far today :)

Wonderful tour - This was a great day to experience the archeological sites in just a day trip from Amman. The structures were beautiful and I enjoyed taking my time walking around Jerash city. Faisal was also a wonderful tour guide and ensured the trip was comfortable throughout the day. I highly recommend taking this tour with him.

Great driver and experience - We had a fantastic experience with our driver Faisal Abu Rashid. He was very helpful for our trip to Jerash, Allyn castle, Umm Qais, telling us about the history and culture. He also answered all our questions about Jordan and was very knowledgeable about his country. He helped us find local guides at all the sites. He also gave us a recommendation for lunch and helped us order. Faisal was also a great driver and we felt comfortable and safe the whole time. Overall, we had a very enjoyable trip.

Pieces of History - Visiting the three historical sites was unbelievable. First visited Umm Qais Roman site. Well preserved and on the day could see as far as the Sea of Galilee and into Israel. Ajloun castle was a Masterpiece of Muslim architecture during the time of Saladin and the Crusades. As for Jerash, it TOTALLY blew my mind Our driver, when prompted offered brief Historical insight A few minor things. Only one water bottle was offered between 2 people. No WIFI as advertised and unfortunately our driver was involved in a minor accident, delaying the return to our Hotel The trip is well worth it for the Historical context.
