Great driver, had much fun on this tour. - The driver Omar was great. He also did a few extra stops nearby the main attractions mentioned (Another church with mosaics in Madaba, a mosaic store near Mt. Nebo, a beduin hearding his goats on the way towards the dead sea). He also helped us take oictures of us unpromted and helped us get with the mud at tge dead sea. For the locations themselves the final stop at the dead sea was probably my highlight. We went in late december and the sea was still ~24°C, the view of the sunset at the "Sea gate Resort" where we visited the dead sea was also really nice. Since sunset is the natural end to your visit here i would recommend not starting later than 8,5h before sunset (e.g. 8:30-9:00 in late december). Madaba at the beginning is a smaller stop, since it's more or less just one room, so having the second church with nore mosaics and the mosaic store was very nice. Mt. Nebo is a nice view (it was a bit hazy so we didn't see the other side of the dead sea) and there is a church with mosaics there as well. At the baptism site you get on a guided tour with all other people visiting the site at the time, as you're not allowed to visit by yourself due to border proximity. The minibus to the site is a bit crowded, but this experience is the same for everyone visiting here. The driver knew the timing of these Minibuses and got us here well timed for the next one. The last location with an several churches and the Jordan river was the most interesting one for me, as you could also see people on the other side visiting and baptising themselves (we were told that we can't talk to them though). All in all very nice tour. Thank you very much.

Five star tour, Five star service - Driver is excellent. Provides WiFi though his iPhone. Was able to see a lot in a relatively short period of time. Sites were amazing, particularly the baptism site which is shared on both sides of the river. There are many tour options to see the same sites. Cannot imagine anyone else doing more to ensure my safety and comfort and schedule
