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.

Jordan was an amazing place that with great sights! The contiki trip took away all the stress and had a lovely time seeing the sights and meeting new people. It was not the usual contiki trip as it was sub contracted to a local tour company ‘Petra wonders(?)’ so we had a great local tour guide but this meant some things were not quite the same in terms of how a normal contiki is run in terms of day activity communications and there were some discrepancies between the contiki itinerary and the tour company itinerary… (nearly accidentally missed out Aqaba as not on local tour company itinerary but was on the contiki itinerary & included a tour of Amman citadel with we were not expecting as was not on the contiki itinerary). I would recommend staying an extra day at the end of the contiki and arranging your own tour to go to mt nebo and the Dead Sea as these are amazing must see places that are missed by the tour. All in all a very glorious trip that I would highly recommend!
