Jordan Cycling Tours

Really well planned itinerary. Plenty of cycling and rest days, plus free time to explore on our own. The trip had really well thought out optional extras as well; such as boat trips. The guide was really informative on next days activities so that we were always well prepared. Guide was exceptional. Very knowledgeable on Jordan and its history. Really made us feel secure in Jordan; on the roads and whilst out and about. Handled all the tipping side of things that can sometimes be a chore. Always gave us good advice on things to do in our free time and also excellent recommendations on nights out. All in all I'd thoroughly recommend this trip. Absolutely fascinating country and region. The guide and support staff (bus driver, cycle mechanics etc.) were super friendly, indeed all of the locals we met were, and you got a sense of how proud they all were of their home. Despite the troubles in nearby countries we felt completely safe and were welcomed by all. I'd go back without any hesitation to explore further!

Thoroughly enjoyed my recent Cycle Jordan adventure.. The trip was a good balance of cycling and sightseeing. Having wanted to visit Petra for many years it did not disappoint, a big tick on my bucket list. Wadi rum with its scenery was astounding also a wonderful experience to sleep in the desert and experience Bedouin hospitality for the night. Recommend taking the snorkeling boat trip when in Aqaba which is one of the trip options. Salah our guide was very knowledgeable and was happy to talk to us about Bedouin and Jordanian culture which was very interesting. I feel very fortunate to have visited Jordan at this time, all the sights were very quiet and not mobbed with hordes of other tourists which was great for us. Sadly not so great for Jordanian tourism, If you have ever wanted to go to Jordan now is a great time to go. It is very safe and you will not be aware of any of the unfortunate troubles across the boarder.

A brilliant trip with a perfect combination of cycling and sightseeing - 4 lifetime experiences in one week ! Floating on the Dead Sea Petra Wadi Rum Snorkelling in the Red Sea In addition to a spectacular view of the Promised Land from Mt Nebo taking in the Dead Sea, Jericho and the skyline of Jerusalem We were very fortunate that the tourism level due to the Israel war was almost zero which made you feel for the Jordanian people who were incredibly friendly and helpful. The country felt incredibly safe and other than the lack of tourists you would never guess at the horrors unfolding over the border in Israel. To add to the safety it appears to be the policy of the Jordanian govt to provide tourists with a police ****** for the duration of the trip. Our group of 7 cyclists had a police ******, our guide Salah, a bus driver, 2 mechanics and a cycle leader - so almost 1-1 ratio. Our guide Salah was brilliant- a very intelligent man, excellent English and knowledge of the history of Jordan and beyond. He took great pains to ensure we knew the salient points of all the places we visited and I learned an awful lot on this trip. One small criticism is that other than Salah and a couple of the cycle leaders the other members of the Explore team spoke very little English which meant we often had to engage with Salah to translate. As Jordanians are taught English at school it should be fairly straightforward to use this as part of the recruitment criteria

Excellent trip. Great balance between cycling and sightseeing. Tour leader couldn't be better - great English, very knowledgeable about the culture and history / archaeology - and supported by an excellent team. Jordan is such an amazing country, and seems entirely safe from the nearby conflict in Gaza.

So well organised from booking to every aspect of our time in Jordan. Bike ride was sometimes a little hard (some steep hills; for me anyway), but followed by more downhills. We had a crew following us, so no worries about bike equipment. In a small way (as much as you can in a week) we saw and heard about the Jordan culture from our excellent local guide. We saw wonderful sites and heard about their history; experienced the Dead and Red Seas. Highly recommend this trip. Even if you think the cycling is too hard there is help and transport for bits you would rather sit out.

This was the most amazing trip. Well organised from the moment we landed in Amman. The wonderful sites we saw were enhanced by the fantastic cycle routes we took. The cycling was as described - so in the main downhill through beautiful rural countryside. The roads very very good and the support team exceptional. There were a couple of really steep climbs in parts which i struggled with especially in the heat so I took the support option and out my bike on the back of the truck and rejoined the tour at the top. The sights we saw en route would!not have been possible if we had been on a bus. The hotel s were good quality. We would thoroughly recommend the trip
