Happy that we are here in Jordan! - Bardaghawi is our guide for this tour and he is great! Polite and helpful to cater to our every need during the tour. Glad to have met him and I would strongly recommend his services.
Glad that my husband and I had proceeded with our holiday plans to Jordan. We feel safe and peaceful in Jordan despite situation within the Middle East. We met many tour groups throughout the trip, business as usual for tourism!

Phenomenal Service! Excellent! - Our driver Bardaghawi Mohammed was amazing!!! Not only did he take us around, he was very informative about the culture and places we have visited. He also bought us several snacks on the way to our destination and paid for souvenirs my family and I were going to purchase. He was also a safe driver and felt comfortable in his car. He made our trip very comfortable, offering us drinks and making the ride enjoyable for my family and I. I would highly recommend him. Thank you for making our trip more enjoyable, Mohammed!

Amazing tour! - We had an amazing driver: Mr Bardaghawi. He guided us through the city of Amman amongst the locals and then drove with us to Jerash. He knows a lot and can answer every question! We recommend this tour AND the driver!

Jerash and Amman highlights tour - This tour is a good way to see the ruins of Jerash and the highlights of Amman in one day. After a couple of hours at Jerash in the morning, which was about an hour drive from Amman, we then returned to Amman to visit the Citadel and Roman Theater. The driver Mahmoud was very friendly and was flexible schedule-wise. He also took many pictures for me. Overall I enjoyed the tour and would recommend it as a convenient way to see these sites.
