We booked a small group, week long tour of Jordan through Platinum Travel, not knowing who else might be in our group. Turned out to be a private tour led by our driver and new friend Khaled Badawi. From the moment we landed at Amman airport to our return there a week later we were well taken care of without a single glitch in our travels. Highlights - Jerash, Petra, Aqaba Museum/Castle, lunch/cooking class in Madaba, Zarb dinner in Wadi Rum, Dead Sea dip. So - So: St. Georges's in Madaba is under renovation; not much to see at this time. Guides - we had guides for Jerash and Petra. For the most part, sights were well signed and a guide wasn't necessary. You do get more information but you trade off some freedom to explore. We can't say enough about our driver, Khaled and his treatment of us. An enthusiastic and proud Jordanian who went out of his way to show us his home town of Aqaba, on his own time and, I suspect, expense. We were surprised and disappointed to see the impact that the political situation in the middle east has had on tourism which is so important to the Jordanian economy. A highlight of our trip, Petra, which has seen visitor levels in the thousands per day, likely had a few hundred on the day we visited. Not bad for the tourists but not good for the economy. And yet, at no time did we feel the slightest unease or, in fact, see any indication of a spillover of political issues into Jordan. Visit Jordan with Bridge Travel. You'll love it!

We started the tour from the Dead Sea, I highly recommend the 7:30 slot as we got pretty much everywhere before it got crowded which was amazing to experience these sights almost to ourselves right after opening. Our driver was Kamal who was great and he came in a nice car and was on time. The only part of the tour we did not care for was visiting Nebo Mosaics, which was not a stop on the tour, we loved learning about how they make the beautiful mosaics we felt pressured to buy from the shop and while we loved some of the pieces we felt they were price gauging us so we left with nothing unfortunately. Otherwise a great tour with Kamal!

This was an amazing tour...very skilled and safe and friendly driver Petra was beyond description and the guide was very expert and engaging The Jeep tour was a hoot and Wadi Rum just incredible! I highly recommend this tour One of the best days of touring ever for me!

This trip was amazing and well worth the price! Our driver Naser was great and made sure all of our requests were accommodated! Highly recommend

We spent 5 days and 4 nights between Amman, Mount Nebo, Petra, Aqaba-Red Sea, Wadi Rum Dessert, Dead Sea… and more. We had a wonderful trip and experience with the expert and professional guidance of our driver Kamal. Everything well planned, excellent hotels accommodations and tours. Highly recommended.

Our driver, Naser Shwal has a warm personality, he is a calm, friendly and trustworthy person. He did everything he could to ensure that we had a wonderful time in Jordan. He is a very experienced driver, he speaks English very well and he was always happy to answer to our many questions and to provide us with information about the culture, the sights, the food and generally about life in Jordan. He made very helpful suggestions and he took us to great restaurants in Petra and in Amman, where we enjoyed wonderful traditional food. The minivan used for our transportation during our four-day visit, was modern, clean, with AC, complimentary water bottles and all this in a very reasonable price. We appreciated his patience and the fact that he made us feel very safe throughout our trips to Petra, to Wadi Rum, to Dead Sea and Amman. We would definitely recommend Naser to everyone wishing to visit Jordan! He is simply the best!

Trip was great, the driver Jacob was amazing and had excellent recommendations on where to eat. Loved Wadi Rum and Petra. Wonderful views

Our driver Jacob was fantastic if he recommends a place to eat listen to him. The 4x4 was great and the views in the desert were breathtaking!

Our 4 day 3 night tour covered Jerash, Ajlun castle, Mt Nebo, Mataba church, Wadi Rum, and Petra. We were met at the airport and escorted to all the locations by a competent, friendly driver. Also at Jerash, Wadi Rum, and Petra, a guide was included. Each was knowledgeable and made our visits very meaningful. The lodging was very nice and comfortable. Although there is unrest in the Middle East, we experienced no security issues and felt completely safe during the entire visit. In fact, the nearby unrest has significantly reduced the number of tourists which made our visit extremely enjoyable. If you are thinking about visiting this part of the world, now is definitely the time to go! This tour company and the tour we took are highly recommended. We would also like to send an extra special acknowledgement to our driver, whose flexibility allowed us to fully enjoy each sight!!

Great service and tour of Wadi Rum. The trip was well organized and the service was fantastic. Fun pickup drive through desert hitting the highlights of Wadi Rum

We booked the 6 night, 7 day "Explore Jordan Tour" through Travel Discounters and had an amazing experience. We arrived in Jordan October 7th - we did not plan to be in the middle of a war close by, but we felt completely safe during our stay. Everything was taken care of for us - from our arrival at the Airport in Amman to our departure. Our driver was Jacob who took really good care of us, treated us to the best Falafel in Amman and was a great companion for the entire trip. Our tour included As Salt, Jerash, Ajloun castle, Madaba, Mt. Nebo, Petra, Wadi Rum, Aqaba and the Dead Sea, and it would be difficult to choose which experience we enjoyed the most! Our hotels were good - comfortable, especially the Movenpick Spa at the Dead Sea, and our "tent" accommodation at Wadi Rum. This tour exceeded our expectations - it was truly an amazing experience.

We spent 12 hours with Khaled on a tour of Petra and Wadi Rum. He’s a nice chill guy. He let us stop along the way many times for photos, bathroom breaks, to buy stuff. At Petra and Wadi Rum, the tour company has arranged tour guides waiting for you. Khaled dropped us off, and we went on our adventures. And he’s there waiting at the end. If you can afford the expense of a personal tour and driver — it’s about $350 a person — it’s so worth it!

Khaled picked us up from our Aqaba hotel in the morning. He is very kind and a careful driver. We had an amazing visit and guide in Petra before a great lunch and going to Wadi Rum. Our Jeep driver in Wadi Rum, Ali, was also a great guide and we arrived on time for the sunset! We took amazing pictures and made great memories! Thank you!!

We had a great experience with Hani and his driver. He got just on time, helped us either crossing the border fast and efficiently and was very kind. His minibus was comfortable, drove us safely to our hotel and back. Thanks !

Hani was great. He met us at the border and took care of everything from start to end. Absolutely recommeded guide.
