    The trip exceeded all of our expectations from the minute we were collected at the airport to the minute we were taken back there again. Petra, Jerash, Wadi Rum were all stunning, the Dead Sea was an amazing experience as was the hospitality of all we met. Ibrahim, our guide and the driver regularly went well beyond the call of duty for our group. A holiday our family will never forget.

    Terrible tour! Do not go! Jordan was lovely country , would highly recommended but go with another company. Please read all other reviews as everyone has had similar experiences that this company is terrible! I had issues with this tour company. False advertising on the website and would not give a refund of 100£ for their mistake. The hotels were cheap and nasty. 3 star not a chance - 1 star at best. no hot water in multiple places, the last place breakfast was some juice and bread. Tour guide was unorganised and terrible with timings. Always late to things and seemed to plan things last minute leaving everyone hungry and frustrated. Very dodgy with restaurants, he took us to places that he got a deal with whilst telling us there was no where to eat - when there was Cleary lots of good traditional places near by. To quote him “don’t eat anywhere as the kitchens are dirty, only eat where I take you” The worst tour ever! Do not go

    Hi Daniel, To follow up on your review again as we have had some questions about it. Your issues and complaints about the tour were related to the fact that entrance fees are not included in the trip's price, and you had not budgeted for that, as... Show more

    There was no mention that we needed to purchase a traveller journey pass worth $70 to avoid paying at every site we went to. The options of food places we went to were almost always a buffet, very sub par options.

    When we arrived at the airport we had to wait to be meet. Then we got told to be ready for a briefing the following morning but not told that straight after we would be leaving for the day so turned up not prepared. The website states what’s included however, not all these are actually included and just the guide and travel are so be prepared to pay additional. Or purchase a Jordan Pass which tour radar need to make clear or charge less/ amend what’s included. The hotels are also not great, max 2 star. I only managed to have a hot shower on the last day! The guide and country were great and Petra was all I expected and more however, the trip was tainted which is a great shame.

    Our tour guide Boudi was great – helpful, pleasant, very knowledgeable & well dressed. Other rep Wadi was poorly dressed & unfriendly. The itinerary, sites and activities were all excellent. My highlights were Luxor/Abu Simbel. I didn't enjoy the long drive to Abu Simbel. The hotels were mostly good, but the Cairo one had poor food and a bad room. The Hurghada hotel had a nice room but a bad location. It was an excellent trip overall and great value for money, I would recommend.

    Good tour. Guide could have been more accommodating to let people spend some time at the sites to take pictures.
