Highlights around Amman with Basel - We had a wonderful tour with our knowledgeable guide and driver, Mr. Basel. All the sites were spectacular and Mr. Basel explained the historical significance of every place we passed. We spent enough time at every stop that it was a full day trip and Mr. Basel was patient throughout. We were worried about the heat but we didn't have to. The car itself is air-conditioned and there was cold water for us. I highly recommend this tour with Mr. Basel.

Great informative day! - Basel was excellent and very flexible! He provided a lot of information to us as we drove and at the various sitws. His car was clean and he had water available for us. We felt like the whole day was private with very few other travelers on our stops. I would recommend this tour!

Request Basel as your tour guide - Basel picked us up on time, and was actually early, which was good because there are a lot of places to visit. We started in Madaba, which is amazing. The mosaics that have stood the test of time, and tell the stories of the Holy Land are amazing, but to also see the mosaics being used to decorate St. George's is incredible as well. Basel handed us off to a fantastic guide, George, who explained the mosaics within St. George, as well as the mosaics at the Madaba Archeological Park, which houses the remains of the Virgin Mary Church. It is almost overwhelming how much is there. Once done in Madaba, Basel took us to Mt. Nebo, to have the same views that Moses had right before his death, and they are incredible. The Byzantine church on top of Nebo houses even more, and much larger mosaics. After this, we headed down into the Jordan Valley, and arrive at Beyond the Bethany. We are able to visit, what is believed to be the original baptism site of Jesus Christ, but as the River Jordan has moved in the last few decades, we walked to the new location to see Christian pilgrims being baptized along the shores of the River Jordan. It was amazing to see. We then proceeded to the Dead Sea resorts, and were able to go to the water, as we chose not to actually get in the water, but the option was there. We instead opted for a beer, and enjoying the view before heading back to Amman. Definitely recommend this trip. The conversation was great the entire time.

An unforgettable experience! - My mum and I had such an amazing time on this excursion! We had a lot of time to explore all of the sites and immerse ourselves without feeling rushed. Basil is an incredible guide; he’s friendly, knowledgeable and was always on hand to help, answering of our questions as well as providing us with local insights we wouldn’t have known if we explored the sites by ourselves. I highly recommend this private tour if you want to visit the main sites near Amman in a day 😃
