“Started pretty well as I was picked up right on time. Driver was really good - I felt very safe. Instructions were pretty clear. Plenty of time to see Petra up until the Monastery if you pace your walk accordingly. The jeep ride in Wadi Rum could've been better if some sort of blanket or warmers were provided especially during winter. Buffet for dinner and breakfast at Wadi Rum was great. I wish we couldve spent more time in the Dead Sea resort as we just spent around 2 hours including the buffet lunch. The same resort we used was 25 Dinar as per my hotel but we were charged…”

“It was a fantastic tour that allowed us to enjoy Jordan's three major attractions: Petra, the Wadi Rum Desert, and the Dead Sea. Marwan, our guide, was a wonderful and thoughtful person. This tour was truly wonderful and I would highly recommend it to my friends. The only thing that could be improved was that the bed of the pickup truck in the Wadi Rum Desert was wet, so it was cold to sit on. If they could have been more careful to keep the seat dry or put a cover on top, it would have been even better, so I would like to say so. Thank you for such…”
