Nice day - Our driver Adnan contacted us the day before the trip. In the car he had a water and wifi for us, that was very nice. The pickup point and time we could spend in the castle and Jerash was always clear. We could choose when we wanted to get lunch. We had e very nice day.

Day trip in Jordan - My first full day in Jordan I took a private tour from Amman to Ajloun Castle and Jerash. Ahmed, my driver, and Mahmoud and Mustafa, the local tour guides could not have been better. All three were quite welcoming and the tours were great. The history and views from the castle at 1250m above sea level were wonderful and the ancient Greco-Roman city of Jerash was phenomenal. It was a great way to spend the first full day in Jordan.

Visit to Jerash - This is a must see if you are visiting Jordan. Our driver, Abu Anas, was excellent: punctual, very personable and as knowledgeable as any guide. He stopped en-route to show us additional points of interest and helped make the trip all the more enjoyable.

One of my favourite Jordan experiences ever made possible by Bardaghawi! - I went on a tour with my sisters to Ajloun Castle and Jerash for a day trip. It was one of my favourite trips in Jordan. Bardaghawi, our guide, was able to make the trip truly memorable! He was very knowledgeable about the areas he drove us to, the historical background, and made my sisters and I laugh a lot. The car he drove us in was comfortable and air conditioned. Wifi was also available. We were also given complimentary water bottles which helped us deal with the hot weather! I highly recommend this trip to anyone! I have visited Jerash 10 years ago but this was by far a better experience!

Outstanding Service - Yuones was on time, the car was well appointed, with WiFi and waters at the ready. He made the day enjoyable and was very conversational. He also made a quick side stop on the way back and was very accommodating. We enjoyed getting to know him and would definitely recommend!

Excellent day tour - Jerash is a unique place to see, with its impressive columns. Ajloun Castle is beautiful and has an incredible view. My tour guide, Shadi, has been attentive and professional at all times. I have changed my itinerary and instead of going to Umm Qais I have opted for the Dead Sea. Shadi has been very kind in managing my last minute change of plan. I appreciate the excellent service.
