Good service - During my experience visiting one of the seven wonders of the world (Petra), I had a courteous driver who had a lot of information for the tourist and an excellent tour guide who had a high spirit and had the best service in the field of tourism. It was truly one of the most beautiful trips in my life.

Expect the driver to charge MUCH MORE beyond this booking - This trip was a bad experience, which was surprising given the good reviews. First issue was taking advantage of naive foreigners: the driver stopped on the way to Petra at a roadside store ostensibly to use the restroom and let us look at gifts at the giftshop. In the end we discovered that the driver was friends with the shop owner, and the shop was selling INCREDIBLY overpriced items (75x the price for the same items we saw later that day in Petra). They absolutely preyed on unknowing foreign travelers. Back underway to Petra, the owner was immediately, keenly interested in knowing how much we spent there. Second issue: this is supposed to be a 3-hour visit in Petra, sufficient to see the sights. However, we were immediately told that it would take 6 hours to see Petra unless we paid to get driven up to and dropped off at the Monastery (Ad Deir) and that route would take 4 hours. Essentially, we were told there was no way to take a 3 hour trip and that we would have to pay more either way. For this 4 hour version, we were obligated to pay an additional 25 JOD ($35 USD) per person (not per car). This "4 hour" version also required an additional 5 JOD shuttle fare. This trip ended up costing $85 USD more than advertised for 2 people. I do NOT recommend this service.
