Spectacular excursion- with an amazing driver, Mr Muhammad Bardaghawi - A truly brilliant day out with the great company and hospitality of our driver Muhammad Bardaghawi. He took us to a couple of churches, a mosaic workshop and of course Mount Nebo. He was very helpful with any questions we had and was extremely knowledgeable, making our transition to each sit really smooth. He was kind and patient, giving us the time we needed at each site, he also helped us with advice if we had any questions on how to go about the best experience on our first day and first excursion in Jordan. Our family truly thinks of him as a gem of a human being and a great driver- we would highly recommend this driver and this experience to anyone who is looking to book this excursion.

A relaxing tour - A really relaxing and enjoyable visit. We spent around 3 hours for the entire tour and really enjoied it. There are beautiful views and corner points where take picture, but also interisting mosaics and monuments. More important thing, we had a nice guide driver (absolutely raccomendated) that gave us clear and useful instructions.

FABULOUS HALF DAY TO MOUNT NEBO - Dear Future Travelers to Amman , After a long week of volunteering with a medical mission, my friend and I were hoping for a relaxing day exploring the historical sites of Jordan. Today we had the pleasure of spending the day with Moe Al-Sheikh! He was early to pick us up which is always nice and greeted us with a pleasant smile and warm welcome. Immediately, he provided a great narrative of the history of Jordan as we made our way to our destinations, Along the way, he provide bits and pieces of current events, summarized our route as we drove , and even stopped to buy me a Turkish coffee! All of these simple but significant gestures just made for a safe, comfortable, and enjoyable day, Moe is a safe and considerate driver and quickly became our friend.

Moses wales these hills - I was moved by the history of Moses and the thought that the 12 tribes camped in this area. The church was so simple and beautiful.

Great driver and knowledgeable of sites/history - Solo travelled with a driver called Moe Al-Sheikh - very punctual, safe driver. I didn’t need a guide nor research anything beforehand as Moe was very knowledgeable! Good English too and was able to explain everything very well. Definitely recommend, even as a group. Thanks Moe! :)

Madaba & Mount Nebo - The car arrived at the pickup point on time. After a forty minute drive to Madaba you have twenty minutes at St George's church to view the mosaic map. A further thirty minute drive and you arrive at Mount Nebo. This is a spectacular site to visit. The visit lasted for one hour and then back to Amman. This is not a guided tour. It is just a driver to take you from place to place.

Don’t waste your $ - There is one church with mosaics-not very interesting and loads of places that want to sell you them-kind of assembly line looking stuff. It was a boring excursion
