It was an amazing experience to visit Petra...
The Tour was amazing. The tour guide informative and kind. Be prepared for the time of your life.
The travel team where great, our driver was entertaining & very chatty. He even ordered us some delicious dinner to take to our hotel. Petra is sensational, our tour guide had excellent knowlege & was lovely. Don't recommened the free horse ride all the animals there are malnourished, stumbling & exhausted the riders very aggressive with how much you must tip them & sandwich you between 2 of them until you pay them a price near the amount they want. It's a once in a lifetime experince the colours are beautiful & it's amazing.
I was setup with the best local guide!
The place was sensational and having a personal guide who was a local helped tremendously - I can thoroughly recommend this option.
Petra was my second trip arranged in Jordan first was to Mount Nebo and the Dead Sea. Petra is a must see place in Jordan. My driver and companion for the whole day was waiting for me in the hotel. He was very professional, with a great English and knowledge about Jordan. The trip in the car passed very quickly. Unfortunately the driver is not allowed to enter with you in Petra and you are given a tourist guide who spoiled my day. The guy was rushing, and only waiting for the tip. He also promised the driver to inform him about my return but he never did so the driver was really worried. I would have done much better if I visited Petra without the tourist guide. He is included in the trip but you can always refuse to take him just like I refused taking a short trip on a horse. Fortunately, I only had to stay with the guide till we reached the Treasury which took us 40 minutes and then I discovered Petra on my own. It's a great place to visit but those who watched Indiana Jones movie might be a bit disappointed as the caves are empty inside. Nevertheless I would recommend this trip and have given the highest rate because the organization was perfect it's not agency's fault that Petra has such an awful guides. My driver was a great companion and I got to know from him lots about Jordan. I am sure I will be back there for longer and will see Petra by night.
The driver was at the hotel on time and the car was clean. The driver was polite and easy to speak to. The drive from Amman is long but well worth it in order to see Petra. We did not feel rushed in any way.
Fantastic!
It was an amazing experience to visit Petra. We had a very friendly driver who took us down and back. The tour operator contacted us when we arrived in Amman. We wish to thank her for help.
Petra is an absolute must if visiting Jordan. However, what truly made my day was my driver. Definitely an unforgettable day.
Petra is an amazing place to visit and the Jordanian people are very friendly and helpful. Our guide was well-informed and made our visit very enjoyable.
Good value; all went off smoothy and plenty of time was allowed - no pressure to meet at a certain time and several good refreshment stops en-route. The guide in Petra was excellent; a great sense of humour and held our attention throughout. Excellent - well worth the (reat deal of) money the ticket cost! Could have got a similar trip cheaper from the hotel we stayed in - but the quality of this trip was well worth the extra
A wonderful day spent in Petra. The door-to-door service and the guides were extremely kind and knowledgable. Anyone visiting Jordon should grab the opportunity to visit Petra. It's a gem and at times you won't know where to look!
The only negative about this trip is there simply isn't enough time to explore the wonders of Petra but it was a day trip!
The driverguide was very cooperative and helpful.
