Private Tour von Ajlun und Jerash

Jordan Tours is a wonderful company and they provided us with top notch, professional service. They were honest, upfront in telling us what to expect and they more than delivered on every promise they made. They were fairly priced and they were reasonable as to when they asked for payment. Ours was a private one week tour with a driver and local guides. We visited Amman and Jerash in the north and Petra, Mt. Nebo, Wadi Rum and the Dead Sea in the south. I HIGHLY recommend this company. The trip could not have been better and it started with your the consultant's kind and professional communications with us. She was always quick to respond and she always answered all of our questions and inspired confidence that we could count on Jordan Torus to provide an excellent trip and we were not disappointed. She suggested a perfect one week itinerary and where we had questions or concerns she was happy to discuss any modifications. When we arrived at the airport in Amman, we were quickly met by their representative and whisked through the entry process and taken directly to our waiting driver. This gentleman, Esam, was our dirver for the week and he truly "made" our trip. His English was perfect, he was kind, professional and yet friendly and entertaining with a wealth of knowledge about the country that he freely shared. When we stopped at a market or store, he acted as our interpreter and he showed us where to go everyday and introduced us to whatever local guides we had booked. He was a very safe driver and the minivan we rode in was new and in good working order. Again, Esam made our trip and it could not have been better. I also want to comment on the high quality of our accommodations. Each hotel was more magnificent than the next and were high 4 or 5 star variety and were always in the best of locations. Jordan Tours put together a 5 star trip and they acted with professionalism and integrity and we could not recommend them more.

We booked a private tour, which included reception at the airport, visa services and introduction to our driver, who stayed with us on the entire trip. Our driver was fantastic and knew all about the history and the sites we were visiting, and he could tell us about modern Jordan too. We visited Amman with all its historic sites and also had a walk through the city to get a feel of modern Jordan. We drove to Jerash and saw the old Roman sites. Both in Amman and Jerash a professional guide showed us around and gave specific information about the sights. We then drove to Petra, our main target for the trip, and on the way we stopped at several interesting sites such as Madera with its mosaics, Mount Nebo, Kerak and Wadi al Mujib - the Grand Canyon of Jordan. In Petra, we had a private guide take us through the site, or the most visited parts of Petra. It is huge, rough terrain and you want to climb into the hills to see more closely what they were able to construct so long ago. We spent 2 days there and could have spent much more. It was definitely worth the trip even though it was crowded. W ended our trip at the Dead Sea, which is very interesting in itself. We were extremely happy with the arrangements, the service we got everywhere and the knowledge of our guides and our driver. The fantastic service started already in planning the trip. Jordan Direct Tours gave us great suggestions and were flexible to include our wishes. Thank You. I can completely recommend this agency - you will not be disappointed.

Jordan Direct (same firm as Jordan Select) arranged a fantastic experience for us. From the meet and greet at the airport that whisked us through immigration and security, to a personal driver that stayed with us on the whole trip. All arrangements were made as planned with top quality hotels. Our 11 day trip started in Amman, with visits to the Citadel and historic downtown sites, including the car museum, street markets and ampitheatre. The next day we went to Jerash and Ajloun. Then to Mt. Nebo and Madaba as we headed south to Petra. 2 days there, then into Wadi Rum for the night. Then to Aqaba for 2 nights where we snorkeled in the Red Sea. Then to the Dead Sea for a few nights, before a last night in Amman pre-flight home. Having a private driver, with guides at various sites, was far preferable to the tour groups we saw everywhere as we could come and go when ready and adjust our itinerary as needed. The accomodations Jordan Direct (contact Miss Shireen Salem) made for us were excellent. The driver/guide, Ahmed, was fantastic. We really enjoyed Aqaba - the hotel Al Manara was fabulous. Petra met expectations - and the 2 day stay there allowed us to really explore it. The night in the desert at the bedouin camp Palmera in a domed observation 'tent' was also a highlight. Jordan is an easier country to travel in than Egypt. Very safe, friendly people, clean and organized. Any western traveller will feel very comfortable here.
