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!!

Amazing experience and even better driver ! - The tour consists of amazing views and religious sites. My girlfriend and I felt very safe and well looked after. Mohammad Bardaghawi is a great driver and tour guide. He told us all about the sites and even stopped off at viewpoints in between destinations as well. I’d highly recommend this tour to be added to your list when visiting Jordan.

An unforgettable day!!! - Our driver Mohammad Bardaghawi delivered a truly excellent overall experience. Our full day tour included three different sights, Umm Qais, Ajloun and Jarash. Mohammad ensured we had multiple opportunities to explore the local culture along our route. Always giving us ample time to enjoy the sights, rest stops and our day. The guide he arranged for our walking tour at Jarash was simply outstanding. The guides knowledge and passion for the site was incredible. We heartily recommend this full-day tour with Viator.

One fine day as a VIP :) - Hassan Al Khatip was my tour guide. I was treated like a King by Hassan…I was a VIP :) It was an excellent tour/drive. I was picked up from my accommodation and went for a 2-hour drive to Umm Qais, Aljoun Castle and Jarash respectively. Then we treated ourselves for a nice lunch at Green Valley Restaurant (recommended) on our way back to Amman. I wanted to visit the blue mosque and he was kind enough to take me there and drop me at my pick up point. Good job, Hassan!! Keep up the good work!
