Highly recommend VIP Limo, everything was smooth. Our driver Ahmed went to great lengths. He gave us interesting pieces of history as we drove through the desert palaces area and always made sure we were comfortable. Ahmad has really made our experience in Jordan an unforgettable one and we will highly recommend booking with this company!

Everything was extremely lovely and excellent; it was an incredibly exciting excursion encompassing the castles outside of Amman, and our driver was very friendly and knowledgeable. I advise everyone.

The tour gave us a fantastic opportunity to visit some remote areas and see the desert castles, which are hidden gems. Ibrahim was a wonderful driver who was kind, considerate, on the ball, and highly interesting. The brief lifespan is very remarkable and is well worth observing. recommended this trip highly.
