Real traveler feedback from Explorer tours across Middle East
Rocco O. | Traveled in February
Every was excellent. We were able to add a trip to the Dead Sea the first day we were there. Petra is everything it is said to be. We loved all the places we went. Wadi Rum was amazing. The landscape and views were spectacular. One of the unexpected highlights was eating at the women’s group. We ate traditional Jordanian food.

Everything was amazing and will do more g trips only complaints are about g adventures choice in some of the accommodation- I know the 18-39 is basic but the level of some of the accommodation is not justified in my opinion
Jana W | Traveled in July
I feel so lucky to have gone on this G Adventures tour in Jordan. The whole trip was action packed with a great variety of activities, and ongoing commentary and input from our extraordinary CEO Wasfi. Wasfi was very savvy, interesting, educated, and helpful with our many questions, and kept things moving so we got to do as many things as possible. We had numerous interactions with local people including for a few of our dinners, that was one of my favorite parts--getting to eat homecooked food and interact with locals. The people in the country were so friendly and kind. The landscapes are breathtaking. My fellow travelers were great travel companions. Thank you Wasfi and G Adventures!!!

This trip gave me an experience I’d never be able to curate on my own. It changed the way I will view travel in the future (in a good way).
