Good way to hit the highlights - Everyone will tell you 3 hours in Petra isn’t enough time—and it isn’t. But we had very limited time in Amman, so it worked for what we had. Definitely only going to see the highlights of Petra, but it was 90° that day, so we were okay with it. Our guide at Petra was amazing—he knew we only had a few hours so he made sure we got in as much as we could. The Dead Sea was amazing—once in a lifetime experience. Our driver, Basel, was fantastic—kind and knowledgeable. Definitely a very safe, careful driver. He was really helpful and made the day easy. If you have limited time in Jordan, this is a good way to cram in the highlights!

Perfect Petra and Delightful Dead sea - Nice early pickup to get to petra to maximise the time. Petra is a must see..
incredible experience..then onto the dead sea via the mountain pass...incredible views and the dead sea is a must do. Money well spent, but special mention to mazen who is such a great driver and host and ensures he caters for your every need. He made Jordan incredible. Thank you mazen and thank you zaid tours you are incredible.

Dead Sea and Petra - Our driver, Khalid, was the kindest guy you may meet in Jordan. He even let us stay in Petra 2 hours longer than planned. Definitely recommend.

Amazing Private Day trip to Petra and Dead Sea! - Great trip! Only had one day in Jordan to tour Petra and Dead Sea. Basel was amazing! He got me to the destinations timely and I was able to see everything on this tour in a tight window. Basel is very knowledgeable of the area so we took the scenic route there and the city route back. Along the way, he gives you the history of the area. Also the tour guide in Petra (Talat) was excellent! I was highly impressed with this tour. If you have a short time in Jordan whether you’re solo or with a group and want to fit this tour in your schedule, I would highly recommend Basel and Talat! They will get the job done safely and you will have much fun. Thanks Zaid Tours and Travel!

Hospitability, all-around nice people and a big doses of culture and knowledge. - Mazen, the driver, acted as a great guide. His English was good, fluent and not only commented on every single aspect he could possibly come up with, but he also was easygoing enough to have deep conversations about historic aspects of Jordan in general, and the places in particular. We are unhappy about the low availability of tour guides in Spanish. We couldn't start our tour on time, but Mazen was happy to fill in with short show-arounds we wouldn't otherwise have experienced. From herbs, to Ottoman empire fortresses, to local fauna, biblical stories, you name it. He is the kind of guy you want to get a first impression of the country he is representative of. Later on, we had a fun, knowledgeable and fluent fuide in Spanish. It was too bad that it took longer than we would have liked before starting our tour. The only problem was not his Spanish, but the pronunciation of his vowels that made it harder for us to grasp, other than that, he was perfect even showing some photograph skills that came to be phenomenal when we checked them latwr on.

Disappointing Trip - The driver couldn’t speak much English, no Wi-Fi on board. Got to Petra, original guide wasn’t there, eventually one turned up who was really good, however said if we went on the horse he would stop our tour as they would want money for us to get off. Didn’t get lunch at the specified restaurant ended up at a back street cafe, food horrible, would not recommend this trip
