About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- 361jenas0 contributionsPrivate Day Tour to Madaba, Mount Nebo and Ma’in Hot SpringsWe 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!Written 25 October 2024
- travellin450 contributionsBrilliant tour!!!'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!

- Sherpa358654186810 contributionsAdventures in Jordan🇯🇴🐪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!Written 20 March 2024

- robertgR1158TW0 contributionsGreat time to visit Jordan!!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!!Written 29 January 2024

- Gillian17460 contributionsExplore Jordan and we did!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.Written 7 November 2023
- 333simonew0 contributionsAwesome personal tourWe 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!Written 21 September 2023
- louisonm1450 contributionsAmazing day trip!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!!Written 14 September 2023

We had a very good time. Our group was of four people - me, my mother and one couple. Our driver was friendly and experienced. He made an extra stop on the road so we can enjoy the view and take pictures. The vehicle was clean and comfortable. When we arrived in Petra the driver bought us entry tickets, we didn’t have a tour guide inside Petra. It wasn’t made clear that we’re entitled to a free of charge guide, we thought we have to pay extra, but we were okay without a guide. We had 3 hours to see Petra which is not enough time if you want to take pictures, or ride a camel in example, but we were hungry anyway. After that the driver was waiting for us and brought us to the reastaurant where we had lunch - a really nice place with tasty local food. After our lunch he drove us back to Aqaba. We had an awkward situation with the tip for the driver as we were following the instructions given by our agency in Bulgaria - to give 2 USD to our driver and 4 USD to our guide daily. So after he left us at the hotel we gave him 8 USD tip from everyone from the group and he was unhappy with that, said that it’s a very small tip for a whole day and that the normal tip for a whole day should be at least 20JD which was fine and he deserved it, but it‘s good to know.

We had a good day trip to Petra with a friendly driver who allowed us to take as long as we wanted walking around the large site. December was ideal for a visit as it wasn't too crowded or hot.
All the arrangements went smoothly except that the Basin restaurant, where we had been told to go for lunch, had no reservation for us and then, when we had sorted that out, they said we could eat there but would have to pay for the meal in cash. As we had paid for everything in advance we were not pleased about having to sort that out as well. The cold indifference that we met at the restaurant was not what we expected.

This tour is a 10/10. The driver Mashhour was on time with a clear sign waiting for my group, the van was comfortable and had WIFI all the time. Then, Mohamed the guide had an exellent attitude and perfect english and knowledge. He was patient with us while we took pictures and gave the whole tour with clear explanations. The food where we had lunch was the best arab food I’ve ever tried and the place was so nice, clean and Typical.

Our main reason for visiting Jordan was to see Petra and it was well worth the visit. Quite apart from the Treasury the rock formations alone are worth seeing, a whole city built into rock. Our trip by car took two and a half hours with one comfort stop and was included in our holiday along with the entrance to the site which is normally 50 dinar. We arranged for the driver to wait 3 hours but wish we had stayed longer as we didnt have time to visit the museum. It takes much longer to walk down as your are stopping all the time to take photos. We thought about taking the pony and cart ride back up the hill but not at 45 dinars!!! Wear comfortable shoes that dont let the stones and sand in. Be sure to have water

Our group of six felt the cruise ship's excursion to Petra from Aqaba was over priced, so I researched a number of options and chose Bridge Travel. It was a perfect day. We had a knowledgeable guide, a comfortable modern van, and lots of time to see this amazing site. The USD175 fee included the entrance fee to Petra, a very good Jordanian lunch, and enough time for a quick drive through downtown Aqaba on our return to the cruise ship. Pick up and drop off went perfectly. It's a 2.5 hour drive to Petra from Aqaba.Thank you to our guide Achmed, our driver, and Mr Marei from Bridge Travel for organizing this visit. And all the best to Jordan, a country that I would love to visit again.

Our tour was booked online through TripAdvisor and everything went very smoothly at the Cruise Port in Aqaba Jordan. The driver picked up four adults next to the ship as soon as we were cleared to disembark. Thanks to excellent planning we had scarves and some jackets since it was cold and dusty. Good hiking shoes or closed toed shoes are a must. We had a two hour drive and stopped on the way for a break. It’s an experience since the drivers stop for coffee and tea and invite you to join them. The views of the landscape are vast and almost eerie. If you have to be back on the ship by 3-4pm I recommend taking a carriage one way to the Treasury at Petra. Also, ask when you book if you can have a guide longer than the Treasury. Petra has many areas to explore and whatever your cruise offers is worth the money. We had extra time, but 3 older adults were tired and couldn’t walk more. The $40USD carriage ride is worth every penny. Lunch was very good too at a local restaurant. Make sure to use the restroom at Petra since the restaurant was crowded with a tour bus. Overall Petra is amazing and one of the most exhilarating places to visit in the world. Bring a camera or two with extra batteries. We could have visited Wadi Rum as well, but were exhausted from the walking and lunch.

Good afternoon,
I am going to Aqaba in Late December and I have tried to add Petra tour to my sightseeing plan, but I face an issue when booking, as it is impossible to book the trip for one person in any chosen day.
Do you accept single travellers to book a trip or only groups of 2 and more?
Thank you in advance for answer and have a great weekend!
