Feedback from guests whose tour started in/around Petra during May.
Sychio Ramos | Traveled in May
This is a truly professional tour company. We booked a 7-day private tour of Jordan with a minivan and driver through this tour company and we agree with comments on TripAdvisor and the other travel platforms that this is the most efficient travel agent that we contacted, and also the one which offered the best value for money . We were very satisfied with our driver, who spoke excellent English, and we had good advice from the tour organizer to make the most of our 7 days. The company also helped us in booking our hotels and the camp in Wadi Rum, they have recommended us which hotels are the best and their recommendations were on the right place. Again, ths is an outstanding tour company.
Neetu | Traveled in May
We visited Jordan in May and had a trip of a lifetime. Everything was organized well. Our itinerary was packed, but having a private driver gave us the opportunity to see what Jordan has to offer comfortably. The team was great in responding to all our questions to ensure we had a perfectly curated trip. The experience was incredible, and I would recommend it.
