  • 5Great experience with Hasan

    We had a wonderful experience with our guide and driver, Hasan. We decided to do this tour on our second day of being in Jordan. We visited Umm Qais/Gadara, Aljoun Castle and Jerash. The whole tour was very well planned. We chose to get some local guides at 2 of these locations so we could learn more about the history. Hasan drove us to all these locations and patiently waited for us at local restaurants until we were done with visiting the historical spots. He never rushed us. He was very kind and respectful. He talked about life in Jordan, discussed mutual interests and hobbies, and he even gave us some tips on how to best visit his wonderful country since it was the beginning of our trip. He gave us several surprises and treats throughout the trip. He bought us some welcome drinks, took us to a beautiful secret viewpoint and took pictures for us. The most thoughtful gift of this tour was that he surprised us with some personalized souvenirs that he bought for us while we were out exploring Jerash. We had the best experience on this tour because of Hasan! We will be recommending him to all our friends and family who are thinking of visiting Jordan!

  • 5Great Private Trip.

    The trip commenced as per schedule on 27 May 2023. Driver Mr.Ahmed Habibi was punctual and picked us up from our place well on time. He was soft spoken and drove around to all the listed places safely. Not only that, he also offered refreshments time to time. Time spent at each place was adequate. Overall, we had a wonderful experience and highly recommend this tour to everyone. If you happen to get this driver, that will be an added bonus to the trip :)

  • 5The northern Jordan experience

    All the sites were fascinating! I especially loved the Jerash and imaging life in that era. Also loved the drive to the northern part of Jordan.

  • 2Think three times

    Guide was taxi driver. Never guided. Nice guy. Answered our ?’s when we had them. Dialogue, not! Never got out of car. Dropped off and waited. I have hard time walking. Worst was JERASH. Dropped us off at entrance and waited, so we had to walk thru park and then do return walk same way to meet him instead of driving around and meeting us at rear entrance. Good driver. Very friendly.

About Amman

Amman, Jordan's capital, spreads across a series of hills, with Roman ruins, crowded downtown souks and a warm welcome at the start of any Jordan journey.

The Amman Citadel crowns Jabal al-Qal'a with the Temple of Hercules, the Umayyad Palace and sweeping views over the city. Below, the Roman Theatre, carved into the hillside, seats thousands, and the downtown souks around the Grand Husseini Mosque sell spices, gold and sweets, with the scent of coffee and cardamom in the air.

Top-ranked sights in Amman: Petra, Jerash (Gerasa), Ajloun Castle.
