    It was the BEST Jordan experience one can have! Everything was well organized. Our tour guide, Omar, was very accommodating and was so enthusiastic about showing us the important highlights that we have to know about their beautiful country. He never hesitated to stop by places that we were all curious about or wanted to take pictures with. Along the way, there were also stopovers and he knows all the best places with great views, souvenirs, and refreshments. The Wadi Rum 4x4 ride was also a one-of-a-kind experience. We were joined by Abud who gave us the best Wadi Rum adventure. He even showed us some Bedouin ways of life, such as making a Bedouin soap by grinding a desert-growing plant that when you rubbed it in your hands with water, creates bubbles. It was really interesting to know all these from them. And sleeping overnight in the desert, and waking up with the view of Wadi Rum was so breathtaking. All in all, thanks to them that our trip was awesome.

    The Tourguide Sami was such a nice and polite person. The trip was very pleasant and relaxing with him. He is the best Tourguide I have ever had! Floating on the Dead Sea was really fun. And the subsequent sunbathing and lunch in holiday inn were enjoyable as well. For this tour I think it is a good idea to book the 5-star holiday inn and lunch. You need the facilities such as shower to enjoy Dead Sea.

    This was a wonderful tour. It included the three major sites we wanted to explore south of Amman. Our driver, Basel N was excellent, giving us plenty of time to explore, and sharing local knowledge. The accommodations were lovely, and the food was excellent. My only suggestion would be a daily itinerary with times and places to help with planning. Thank you for a terrific four days.

    We had the pleasure to be accompanied by Ahmad Habibi in our 3 days tour through Jordan. He took care of us explaining every location he was taking us to and with a lot of treats during the trip. We appreciated every advice he gave us about timing and what to see and what to avoid. Very very raccomanded for your holiday in Jordan!

    Unique and great experience of Jordan. Already missing the morning coffee and treats our driver and guide Nazzal offered every morning. His network and knowledge second to none. Very flexible with our requests. The experience itself: I won't spoil it for you! You have to take it to believe it.
    Decided to stay a few extra days in Amman on our own. Location and Hotel, Lina Manzour, our agency contact arranged it for us was great. Close to amenities.

    There was no full tour in Petra or in Wadirum with the driver that came. Had to pay a fee of 50JD at Petra for the entrance and if a guide is wanted there’s an extra fee of 50JD as well. Went to Wadi-run and a guide drove us around and, but had to pay a fee of 35JD to him as well. The car that took us all 12-13 Hours of the trip was terrible, there was no leg space and overall an old car with no AC. The driver was nice though!

    Not recommended!

    the hike up was a bit of a challenge. not as hard as i feared. as a fat, 67 year old woman i did fine. i needed help on one waterfall but there were guides placed along the trail to assist. just a beautiful hike! now, at the turn around point, i was forced to slide down a rock into the pool below. i wanted to climb down the way i came up. i was not allowed. that pool just did not seem deep enough. the guide insisted so i did. i assumed he would not be telling me to do this if it were not safe. i ended up with two broken bones in my foot and a spiral fracture on my fibula. yes, i had to hike out that way. i did float where i could. i still had 4 waterfalls to climb down. a guide dragged me over rocks in some spots too shallow to float. and then i walked quite a bit as well. and oh that ladder to get out of the gorge! i am not sorry i went. i am sharing this so if you are not comfortable doing as directed, don't. know your limits.

    We booked this tour back in Feb and about a month before our trip, the airline we used changed the dates of our arrival/departure. We were devastated as we thought we wont be able to make this tour anymore as it starts on Sunday and finishes on Sunday. We have contacted Zaid Tours and they were really very helpful in rearranging everything for us to fit our new dates. They were responding to all our questions within few hours.

    On the arrival we were welcomed by one of the Zaid Tours employees who had our visas ready for us to ensure smooth passage though immigration.

    Our guide Firas was waiting for us outside and on the way to the hotel he explained our itinerary for the first day. He is so far THE BEST guide we had on all of our travels. He was very informative, answered all our questions with very good sense of humor. We were a group of 6 people - 3 different nationalities & had a great banter. Firas made sure there was not a silent moment in the car & atmosphere was always good.
    By end of the every day he would explain our itinerary for the next day and made sure we are happy with it.

    I would highly recommend to do Petra at Night & add 2 extra hours to jeep tour in Wadi Rum. We had an amazing local guide Abdullah who showed us the best spots for pics and made a yummy tea in the middle of the desert.
    We have also upgraded our stay in Wadi Rum to a Martian Dome which was an incredible experience.

    The only downside would be the variety of food in the hotels & when we stayed in Petra Corner hotel there was no water for the entire morning.

    I will definitely recommend Zaid Tours & specially Firas as a guide to everyone.

    Mr.Hasan was above amazing , he catered to my every need, he made me feel safe and comfortable being a woman traveling alone. He spoiled me by making sure that I had a nice cup of hot tea before we start any tour. He was not just a tour guide but I came to see him as a friend, we laughed and talked about our families.
    He took me to Mount Nebo and it was truly an experience I was not prepared for, I think I cried all the way back to the hotel and Mr.Hasan was simply lovely about the American in his back seat falling apart.

    After finishing the conference on September 5, we (team of 9 people) from Eventell went to Petra. Mr Samaadi was our driver, guide and man of great wisdom. We learnt through him a lot about people of Jordan, its neighbours, life of common people, and their aspirations.

    Travel is a great teacher. Certainly, road trip from dead sea to petra was a great learning experience to be followed by an outstanding immersion into awesome Petra.

    It is amazing to walk around the geological natural display of Petra. However, it was exhausting to walk under a middle day sun. Wadi Rum was more enjoyable due to the activity and the time it was scheduled. The camp was beautiful, great food and facilities.

    Rode with my driver Khaled who was professional and efficient at every stage. It was clear that he was well connected with locals at each stop which made things easy as a first timer.

    Itinerary was good but a lot of down time on the first and last day. Petra and Wadi Rum were incredible and somehow fit into a single day

    We enjoyed the Dana to Petra trek with Experience Jordan, followed by day trips to Wadi Rum and the Dead Sea. The trek was well paced, the camp sites were fun and the landscape interesting, especially the approach to Petra. Best of all was our guide Mahmoud, who was knowledgeable, entertaining and great company. We highly recommend him and the company.

    Our tour consultant, Nairooz, was fast in responding to emails and was very helpful in putting together a personalized itinerary for our trip that included activities in Wadi Rum and Petra and visits around Amman and to the Dead Sea.

    Our driver was highly knowledgeable and made our trip particularly educational. He also went out of his way to ensure we were comfortable with stops for food, drinks and otherwise.

    I highly recommend Jordan Select Tours.

    Excellent experience and overview of Jordan. Visited Amman (and the sites there like the Citadel), Jerash (Roman ruins and biblical sites), Petra, Wadi Rum, and Dead Sea. Petra was amazing as was Wadi Rum. Hot air balloon ride in Wadi Rum was optional but well worth the price....early morning sunrise trip. The tour guide as informative, easy to get along with, and knew how to handle a group of 15 people. Overall, an excellent experience.
