From the moment I contacted the tour operator, I felt at ease. Their staff responded promptly, demonstrating deep knowledge and genuine passion for every historical site. Our itinerary included Petra, Wadi Rum, the Dead Sea and more—each destination exceeded my expectations. The guide was engaging, patient, and fluent in both English and Arabic; they shared stories of ancient Nabateans, Ottoman heritage, and Bedouin tradition in a way that made me feel connected, not just like a tourist. Accommodations were comfortable, clean, and well‑chosen; meals were authentic Jordanian cuisine, often family‑run restaurants with warm hospitality. Transportation was safe and comfortable, with thoughtful rest stops. The pace was balanced—neither rushed nor sluggish—allowing moments to reflect, take photos, or simply breathe in the beauty. I appreciated their flexibility too: a detour to a local market was welcomed, even though not in the original plan. Overall, the tour operator provided a trip that felt personal, insightful, and deeply moving. I returned home with richer understanding, many fond memories, and a desire to return someday.
Intense tour of Egypt and Jordan fitting in as many iconic sights as possible, but with some welcome downtime at half-way on the Red Sea. Slightly more controlled than other trips, perhaps due to security issues, especially in Egypt but a great crowd on the bus and excellent guides as usual. I ticked off so many bucket list boxes on this one!

Had an amazing time cycling & exploring Jordan. Lots of interesting activities on during the non cycling times. Petra & Wadi Rum were just amazing places.
Met some great people. I can’t fault Explore holidays. This was our 3rd trip & 1st cycling holiday.
We would 100% recommend & will book with Explore again.

It is an historically significant and culturally rich vacation with sights not to be seen elsewhere. The people are very friendly and, contrary to popular belief, it is a safe place to visit.
Great guides and well thought out itineraries
Tourist class hotels. Fine with us. This was travel. Not a vacation lol. Tino was super I. Getting is set up at last minute. And all hands were I. Deck when we had a little medical scare. Would definitely book with them again
This was a full on bucket list trip for myself and my family and it did not disappoint in any way. We got to see all the incredible sites of Jordan such as Petra and the Dead Sea and then a number of others we had no expectations of, such as Jerash, which we found absolutely fascinating. It was a very busy trip - especially as we went on all the extra excursions that we could and I would highly recommend it. The people were incredibly friendly and our guide and driver were incredible.

An exceptional experience. Each day brought new wonders, every stop on our itinerary proving fascinating. Tour leader Saleh was one of the best guides I have ever met, bringing fresh appreciation to all that we did. A trip not to be missed - and one that I would gladly repeat. Highly recommended.
