Highlight of our trip!! - It was an amazing experience. I did the tour with a friend and we loved every moment of it. Mahmoud our driver was very kind and friendly. The Jeep Tour with our driver Qusaey was a real highlight! He was very friendly and informative and took us to the best spots to take pictures. Thanks a lot for the experience. I would definitely recommend booking the tour with them.

Amazing day in Petra and Wadi Rum - I joined the Petra and Wadi Rum jeep tour as part of a group option, but due to fewer tourists at the time, our booking was generously upgraded to a private tour at no extra cost. This made the experience feel much more personalized from the start. Our driver, Safwat, picked us up early in the morning and immediately set a welcoming tone for the day. He was friendly, attentive, and thoughtful throughout—providing drinks, sharing useful information, and making sure we were comfortable during the journey. We began with Petra, entering with our Jordan Pass. Although we had the option to book a guide through the tour company, we chose to explore independently. We spent about three hours there, visiting key highlights like the Treasury. While we didn’t make it to the Monastery, this was expected given how much time we spent enjoying the Treasury and taking photos, along with the tight schedule for the day. One tip: bring some cash in JOD, as certain viewpoints within Petra require separate cash payments not covered by the Jordan Pass. After Petra, Safwat picked us up promptly and we continued on to Wadi Rum. The drive itself was scenic, with several beautiful stops along the way. Upon arrival, we met our jeep tour guide, Qusai, who truly elevated the experience. He took us to multiple stunning locations, helped us capture great photos, and shared insights about the history and present-day life in Wadi Rum. Thanks to Qusai’s friendliness and enthusiasm, Wadi Rum ended up being our favorite part of the trip—even after being amazed by Petra earlier in the day. After the jeep tour, Safwat drove us back to Amman, wrapping up a long but incredibly rewarding day. Overall, this tour exceeded my expectations and gave me a deep appreciation for Jordan’s natural beauty. I only wish I had more time to explore other places like the Dead Sea. I would absolutely choose this company and these guides again without hesitation.

Great - Hassan was my guide/driver. The car was clean and had outlets in the front and back seats. Hassan had wifi available, had bottled water for us and made sure we had bathroom stops. Prepare for miles of walking at Petra. During the jeep ride at Wadi Rum you make several stops for photos. There were bathroom srops along the way. This is a very long day but it is absolutely worth it.

Worth every penny! - Petra is a gem and worth every penny. We almost cancelled the excursion with everything going on but decided to go since we flew all of this way. Our guide promptly picked us up at 7am. The drive takes about 2.5-3 hours. He stopped half way there for a toilet break and snacks. When you arrive at Petra there is a visitor center. We chose to walk which took approximately 30 minutes downhill. It was a little chilly walking through the caves but very scenic. Then it opens to Petra like the movies. Not many people were there when we got there at 10am. You can takes pictures with the camels or chose to take a hike up to look down on it for a fee ($10-$15 JD). We stayed for about 2 hours which was plenty and paid $30 JD to take a ride in a golf cart back to the visitor center. Highly recommend this tour.

Great tour - I joined a one-day tour to Petra and Wadi Rum, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. Our driver, Khalil Sway, was professional, friendly, and extremely attentive throughout the entire day. He made sure we were comfortable and well taken care of at all times. Petra and Wadi Rum were absolutely stunning — even more beautiful than I imagined. The landscapes, history, and atmosphere were simply breathtaking. I already feel like I want to return and explore even more. It was a fantastic trip, and I highly recommend it to anyone visiting Jordan.

A breathtaking experience… but remember to bring enough money… and camera storage space! - We recently went on the tour to Petra and Wadi Rum, which took us to Petra followed by Wadi Rum. Overall this was by far the highlight of our trip, we got to see some phenomenal sights, and this trip is definitely a must go- the Jordan experience is not complete without this! The views and experience is truly unique and the moments are unforgettable. Fitting in Petra and Wadi Rum in a day was absolutely perfect as we felt we got the full experience- seeing the Treasury upfront in Petra is not an experience to be missed, and we had a fantastic time on the Jeep safari tour in the desert of Wadi Rum. All in all great fun with excellent view points!! Warning- make sure to have enough camera storage space for all the photos / videos! We seriously we were not expecting to take the thousands of beautiful photos and videos that we took, not to add the extremely talented guides at Petra whose video taking skills are unmatched! From a tour operator service perspective, we were well looked after by our tour guide Ali who drove safely, managing time well and made sure we had sufficient toilet breaks and opportunities to eat given the long travel time. However, from a tour service perspective, given such an expensive price point for the tour, we were slightly disappointed as we would have expected more. As a primary example, everywhere we went to visit, we were expected to queue individually and pay separately for the entrance tickets. This took up quite a bit of our time, e.g. on arrival to the destination we would first need to run to the toilets (the drive was very long!) and then run to join the queue to buy tickets, which ate into a good 20 minutes of the precious 3 hours we were given. Likewise, for meals or breakfast coffee, this wasn’t included in our tour price and we were expected to queue individually and pay each time. We have never encountered this on any of our other tours. On our other tours, where we had been taken for food or drink, this was all included in the tour price, and where not, the tour guide would buy the tickets for us at the desk so we did not need to worry about sprinting ahead of other tourists to join the queue whilst being desperate for the toilet after such a long journey. Additionally, given the high price point, we would have expected basics such as water to be provided. We had this on all of our other tours but not this one. There were plenty of places to buy bottled water wherever we stopped, but just a stark contrast to our experience on other tours. All in all, given the price point I am a little disappointed in the tour service as more could be done to highlight what was not included in the package, as on top of the tour price we still ended up spending at least a hundred dinahs extra, buying entry tickets, paying for additional access to the best viewing platform of the treasury (a must do in my opinion though!), camel photos etc. Nonetheless, this was a totally breathtaking experience, and though we left with empty pockets, we are rich from the phenomenal experience.
