Ask for Hasan - Our tour of Madaba and Mount Nebo was excellent! Our guide, Hasan Mahmoud, was the best and most knowledgeable guide we had on our visit to Jordan. If I had known about Hasan I would have booked all of my tours through his company and specified that he be our guide.
Not only did he introduce us to the historical and archaeological sites, but he explained the significance of the sites for the time that they were built and also the role that they played through key times in history.
One very important thing for me is that Hasan’s English is perfect. The best of any guide we experienced! That enabled me to hear him clearly while riding in the car as well as at the sites we visited.
While we were on our tour, Hasan told us about the history and culture of modern Jordan, which really helped us appreciate the land and people around us! For lunch he took us to a restaurant where he was known because he and his family eat there.
An added plus: Hasan drives a brand new air-conditioned car!

Nebo. I skipped this tour because I was not feeling well, but Mr. Bassam Jebreen really took care of my 15 year old son and my returned to our hotel with a big smile on his face.</p>

The tour includes two stops to explore without guides but at Mount Nebo there are plenty of signs to provide detail. We also made a quick stop at the school where the art of mosiacs is taught. It was a great stop and we really enjoyed getting to see where this work is done. Great sights, but if your time is limited prioritize Petra and Jerash over this, though I recommend if you have a few days.</p>

The "private" aspect of the tour is... - <p>The "private" aspect of the tour is that a driver takes you from your hotel to the site and back, and pays entry into the site. There you join one of the frequent small group tours between the visitor center and the baptism sites and Jordan River.</p>
<p>Our shuttle bus stopped along the road to look at the Tell a-Kharrar/Elijah's hill site from a distance and thru the bus windows for a couple minutes. No one was let off the bus, let alone go actually visit the site.</p>
<p>Then we continued on to the baptism site area, where we had the better part of the hour to walk through that area with a very informative guide. </p>
<p>I would have given this just 3 stars given the poor handling of the Elijah's Hill area, but I think most people come here for the baptism/Jordan River sites and will be satisfied with how that portion was handled.</p>
