Day trip to the north of Jordan - Yuones waited for me with some turkish coffee to start a wonderful day. We headed towards the north where i was able to explore Aljoun castle and then we went back and stopped in Jerash. Jerash was amazing and not to be missed! It was a great trip and Younes was able to talk to me about the history of the places we were heading to while we were driving. Thank you so much Younes!

Great day out in the ruins - This tour was a great opportunity to see the historical ruins in northern Jordan. Ali was a great guide and driver. At Jerash, we had an excellent guide who gave us the history of the site and allowed us to wander. I would definitely recommend this tour

An excellent historical tour of sights to the north of Amman. - A really worthwhile tour. First stop was Umm Qais, which is in fact the furthest away in the far north of Jordan. My driver, Anas, spoke excellent English and was also a great conversationalist, which made the journey that much more enjoyable, He was also very good at pointing out interesting sights along the way. A guide is a good idea here to explain the origins of the ruins as there aren't any information boards. There are also great views across to the Golan Heights of Syria and to Israel and the Sea of Galilee. Next was the Muslim Medieval Castle of Ajloun. There is a lot to explore and if you like castles you won't be disappointed. I didn't bother with a guide. The highlight of the day was Jerash, which covers a large area. Allow yourself time to explore as there is much to see. There are plenty of information boards, so I didn't bother with a guide here either. Anas was really good at offering advice about the sights and provided a very safe and comfortable drive. A most enjoyable day and highly recommended.

Fantastic day in north of Jordan! - Excellent day! Our guide made sure we had the optimum route, with room to follow our personal spontaneous wishes :-). Such as: we want to eat some nice pastries! He was super supportive and made sure our trip was exactly as we wanted. Thank you Mohammed Bardaghawi!

Fantastic well planned trip to Jerash with Anas! - We booked with R&H VIP back in January 2024 after doing some research on the best way to go to Jerash, Umm Qais and Ajloun. Our driver was Anas. He came on time and was extremely easy-going and pleasant conversationally! He was kind enough to show us some things along the way that wasn't on the itinerary and was patient with us both taking millions of photos! Unfortunately, on the day it was raining so things were a touch off but this didn't bother Anas at all! Jerash was the highlight of the trip and I suggest you spend the most time here. Ajloun castle should take 40mins tops (especially if you've been to Syria and seen Krek de Chevalier castle). Umm Qais - honestly, it wasn't the most exciting. Maybe because it was raining but after you've seen 1 roman ruin, their all quite similar. All in all, it was a great trip! Me and my friend Aga were totally so happy with Anas - we wish we could've spent more time Amman and used his services more!!
