Walking Jordan's Spice Trails

Great tour. Very safe and friendly people. Interesting but not challenging.

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.

The Spice Trails trip was fantastic! The itinerary was pretty packed but very well managed and organised. Our guide Saleh was brilliant and his knowledge of Jordan was first rate. Despite troubles in neighbouring countries, Jordan felt very safe and the people welcoming. Walking through the sand in the desert was hard work at times but the sights we saw were amazing. I was very grateful for my lightweight Kantju gaiters from Alpkit, great for keeping the sand out of my boots! The highlight of the trip for me was the day we walked from our camp near Little Petra to the Monastery, explored Petra and returned via the Wadi Alturkmanyah paths - such stunning and remote landscape.

An outstanding trip enhanced in great part by our tour leader Saleh, whose knowledge of history, culture and nature was fantastic. Jordan is an amazing country with very friendly people. We felt very safe, even though we were travelling in difficult times for the region. Jordan is an oasis of peace.

This trip exceeded all expectations and guidebook descriptions. Petra, Wadi Rum, Mount Neto and Jerash are all very different, and each is fantastic and beautiful in its own way. The Jordanian people are friendly, gentle and helpful. Camping in the dessert and watching the night sky was a highlight. The day are busy but not so full that you can't enjoy yourself. I flew home wanting to go back again next week. I loved this trip. Our guide Saleh was brilliant and told us wonderful stories about the history, culture and facts of each place we visited. He was our Jordan Dad, buying us little treats such as meejol dates and mint tea. Saleh also shared tales from his own life to give us a deeper insight into living and working in Jordan.

Enjoyable trip, good pace.

Brilliant trip. Will use Explore again and highly recommend this particular trip to others.

Flights were a bit expensive, but it was useful that you booked them for us. Office staff helpful with enquiries. Helpful to be met at the airport, especially when it was quite late at night. Felt like a good balance of culture and history, and being active. Great experience overall, good intro to the middle east.
