An inside experience into Jordan culture on many levels - The three sites are most impressive, there is no need to mention that. Our driver Moe was really helpful all day, smiling at our little delays. What really helped us where his many personal and inside-stories about Jordan and the "normal" things about the Jordan people. Moe shared these during the transits from one place to another, thus filling each minute with an authentic local experience. Thank you!

Outstanding Day Tour with Shadi – Highly Recommended - We had an absolutely amazing day tour to Umm Qais, Jerash, and Ajloun Castle, and a huge part of that experience was thanks to our driver, Shadi. From start to finish, he was professional, friendly, punctual, and incredibly knowledgeable. Shadi made the journey smooth and comfortable, shared interesting insights along the way, and always made sure we were relaxed and enjoying ourselves. He never rushed us and was very attentive to our needs throughout the day. On top of that, he gave us excellent local recommendations in Amman, especially for the best pomegranate juice spots and high-quality perfume shops, which truly added a special local touch to our trip. If you’re visiting Jordan and want a reliable, kind, and genuinely helpful driver who goes above and beyond, Shadi is the one to choose. Highly recommended—this tour wouldn’t have been the same without him!

Saed contacted us prior... - Saed contacted us prior to our excursion to give us details about pick up etc. He picked us up right on time and drove us to Um Qais first given the times. It was so much more than I expected and a really long walk through old ancient ruins. We could have arranged a guide (would need cash for) but we opted to do it ourselves. Saed always said "this should take around x minutes/hours to visit and meet me here when you are done" He also was clear that we could take more time if needed, but we wanted to be on time to make sure that we could visit all 3 sites, which didn't disappoint. It was quite windy for our visits but the sun warmed us and it felt like Scottish summer! We next visited Ajloun castle, a crusader's castle, that had significance for christians and muslims. From both sites, you could see the Syrian border, which was picturesque. Next, we visited Jerash and had opted for the guide, which was worth it! This reminded me of our visit to Ephesus, with still so much to find but so much to see that is still standing. Jerash was our favourite site, and I highly recommend seeing it! Lunch was fine, it had a great view from the terrace.

Juan Carlos Caicedo - We had a great day with our driver Eltif, he was very patient and caring, very good driver. We had a delay because of our fault because we left our hotel late and we were slow in some stops. It wasnt his fault at all

Adnan best driver - I highly recommend the driver Adnan , He came to pick us up at the hotel on time , following an error booking a visit on our part , he knew how to be professional and find a solution quickly. Its vehicle and clean and offers free wifi. His conduct is professional. Adnan is a very nice person who explains a lot about architecture and remains. I sincerely recommend this driver, he speaks English very well.

Good - Take a look at ancient civilization buildings. Although the Gerash site is slightly depleted due to the ancient times, it is still impressive to clearly feel the scale and sophisticated technique of ancient Roman architecture.

Brilliant day tour! - Despite the heavy winter showers, we still managed to see all of the listed sites. We were picked up at 7:30am to avoid some of the Amman traffic. We got to Umm Qais in around 2 hours, then to Ajloun castle, before heading for lunch. It was 12 JOD for the buffet and 15 JOD for the bbq meal option. We later arrived at the Jerash ruins, which was best with a tour guide as the area is quite big. The whole day was well organised, and was still very good despite the showery weather. Our driver, Abdallah, was great throughout the day, and was very safe driving.
