We really enjoyed having our own private tour and driver and not having to consider anyone else. Saber was a fantastic driver and host. He arrived on time in an air-conditioned vehicle with cold water waiting. Saber told us historic stories about Jordan and Petra as we drove and he allowed us to go at our own pace. He waited for us while we did the tour and he also stopped at various locations to show us the views.
Our private tour guide was also really good. He spoke good English and was so knowledgeable about the history of Petra.
Driver and tour guide both highly recommended. Also recommended is staying in Amman near the Citadel (we had a couple hours there and it was so vibrant and fantastic) instead of a dead sea resort (where you are captive to staying in that resort and paying premium prices for everything. Also there was nothing exciting really happening there except the swim in the dead sea). I also say this because we drove back past amman airport to get to the highway to go to Petra.
