Putting the majesty of Petra aside, this was a poorly planned, poorly executed trip, delayed at every turn. Told we would be picked up at our hotel at 6:50AM to beat the crowds at the border crossing, and the bus didn't turn up till well after 7. There were no crowds at the border crossing when we arrived, yet we... More

We traveled from Tel Aviv to Eilat and used Desert Eco tours to make the arrangements. We did this from the States and they were very good with communications. We flew to Eilat and were met by a representative of the company and taken to the Jordanian border. Our only bad experience was getting across the border. It was very... More

The trip I took with Desert Eco Tours to Jordan from Eilat, Israel in December 2011 was AMAZING! Petra was stunning and met my expectations, but I have to say it was the desert tour in Wadi Rum that I continually think about. Our guide was incredible- very experienced and he made us a delicious dinner right in the midst... More

I have been on many tours with private guides and I found Desert Eco Tours to be one of my best!!! We were met in a timely way and escorted through the border with ease and comfort. Our driver and guide, Abdullah were excellent! We requested a fast and active pace and were not disappointed!! They were open to giving... More

My friend and I (late 20's) did a 3 day/2 night trip with eco tours to Petra, Wadi Rum, and Wadi Ruweir. Here are the main takeaways: * The tour was well organized. Eco tours always picked us up on time, were waiting for us at our destinations, and handed us off appropriately to our day guides and night accommodations.... More

Signed up for the 2 days 1 night, Petra and Wadi Rum desert Eco tour. It was amazing, especially the day at Wadi Rum. Our guide, Muhammad was the nicest guide I ever seen. Spent a night in a Beduoin Campsite and it was better than I expected with showers and toilets. Made me realize that Jordan is truly a... More

My wife and I recently completed a 10 day visit to Israel, Jordan, and Egypt which we booked through desert eco tours. We flew into Tel Aviv and spent the night in Jerusalem before beginning our private tour the next day. Danni was our tour guide for the first 2 days, taking us through from the Mount of Olives and...

Our private tour was excellent, well organized and according to our specifications. Our guide, Abdulla in Wadi Rum, stopped at our desired mountains where we climbed and explored. Our Beduoin meal in the carved mountain was delicious giving the taste of nomadic life. In Petra, we were thrilled to have Nejah of Guide's excellent knowledge leading us through the Ruins... More

I have always wanted to visit the Holy Land and DesertEco Tours made our experience a very wonderful one. I paid for a private tour (which was a little bit pricey considering I had to pay for a minimum number of participants). I tagged my brother along which made the experience all the more exciting coz neither of us thought... More

Marilyn and I took the Desert Ecotours 2 day tour to Petra and Wadi Rum, signing on just a week before our tentative tour dates. We based that on a NYT recommendation, the agenda we saw from them, and their competitive prices for a fully organized visit. They exceeded our expectations ranging from excellent communications (Tomer was our contact), punctuality,... More
