From the moment he picked us up at the airport until he dropped us off at the border crossing 3 days later Jacob was a fantastic guide. The tour of Amman, My Nebo on our arrival date was fantastic. The drive the next day down to Wadi rum for an overnight in the cab was great. The tour of Petra was one that shouldn't be missed and the night at the Dead Sea with sunset over the water was priceless. Jacob made all this happen flawlessly was completely on time and also gave us flexibility when we wanted it. He adjusted pick up times and drop off times to fit our agenda so that it coincided with the tour. He is a great driver and we felt very safe. If you take this tour definitely ask for Jacob! There
Jacob was the best driver/guide! Friendly, safe, comfortable, great driver, gave excellent suggestions, asked our preferences, timely, easy to get ahold of using "WhatsApp," and wanted what was best for us. He was responsive, was careful to translate.
I traveled with my son, without my husband along, and was a little nervous traveling so far away from the US for a 1st big trip. We were in EXCELLENT care.
We saw: Madaba, Mt. Nebo, overnight in Wadi Rum, 1 day in Petra then back to the airport.
We were already in Israel and made the quick flight to Jordan - so glad we did! Wadi Rum was my favorite, and Petra was my son's favorite. So worth the trip to Jordan. Staying at Mazayen Camp at Wadi Rum was amazing! Included were two great meals in a resturant that once inside you wouldnt believe it was a tent, a "jeep" (a Toyota with seats in the bed of the truck) ride at sunset, plus 1 night in a tent. We upgraded and stayed in the bubble/"martian" tent and it was as nice or nicer than any hotel we stayed at on this full trip! Options for extra money was a camel ride at sunrise with a stop for tea, star gazing, hot air balloon, and sand boarding. Not enough time for us to do all, wish we had stayed 2 nights in Wadi Rum!
At Petra we ended up not having our own tour guide, but instead joined with a small group - a family of 4. Due to the change, the guide stayed with us longer, to help make up difference. In the end, it was great to have more time with him.
We had a wonderful time visiting Mt. Nebo and Petra. Mohammad Samarah from Bridge Travel was the best! He made sure we were on time so we got the most out of our tours. On the lengthy rides to and from Petra he put up with all my questions about Jordan and his career in the UN as a peacekeeper. He was very professional and he seems to know everybody and everybody knew him on the way. Trust him when he says “we’ll need buffer time” because thanks to his suggestion we had to take a detour around a sandstorm on our way back and made our flight on schedule. We had a blast! Thanks Mohammad and Bridge Travel! I’ll have to go back to see all the other sights Jordan has to offer.
