An amazing trip with a great guide and companion - Mohammed has been an amazing guide for the day - he is not just an absolutely positive person but also a fully flexible to your needs and wishes. The trip was relaxing in pace and when after the desert - I said shall we see the Red Sea as well - that was not something to discuss - and in 1hr we were having an amazing lunch by the Aqaba Marina. Totally great, thank you for that!

Must do tour!! - We had an amazing full day tour! Our driver Yahia was also amazing! He was on time for pick up and drove us safely to each place. The Maybach van was super clean and comfortable. We got to see the awesome Petra ruins and the Wadi Rum desert. Highly recommended!

Petra & Wadi Rum Tour - 1 day - My partner and I had the most incredible day with Jordan Drive Tribe, our driver, Yahia, was very friendly, patient, and super knowledgeable, always willing to answer questions and share a laugh. Our highlight was definitely the Wadi Rum 4x4 experience, something we will both never forget. We definitely recommend booking with Jordan Drive Tribe, they are excellent.

Great experience - Transport - Perfect way to get to Petra and Wadi Rum. The car was comfortable and spacious for our group of 6 and we were given bottles of water. The operator was nice enough to offer drop-off to our hotel in Wadi Rum instead of returning back to Amman. The driver was easily contactable via WhatsApp.
Tour - This activity excludes the actual tour of Petra so you will have to pay extra for a guide when you arrive at Petra.
Tip - bring a good hat, sunglasses and water. The walk through Petra takes time and some parts are not shaded.
Not really a complaint but more of a suggestion - the 4x4 vehicle used for the wadi rum tour didn’t have shade/a roof cover. We saw other groups sitting in vehicles that had it. Would be good if the 4x4 vehicle used had a roof cover/shade.
Overall, a great experience! Highly recommend!

Highly Recommend! - Highly recommend the Jordan Drive Tribe. Reliable, trustworthy, and professional. I wasn't expecting time off but when I found out late the bight prior I had one day free, I was able to make a very short notice trip for the next day. Driver, Mohammed, was very nice and accommodating. Before going read carefully what is and is not included. The driver is already driving you around for about 9 hours collectively so don't expect all-inclusive, he needs rest while you're touring. If you opt to do both Petra and Wadi Rum, highly recommend both but realize you will be somewhat pressed for time. You get ~3 hrs in Petra, so if you want to go further than the Treasury you should buy a 25JD round-trip golf cart for ride to treasury. Get a guide through the visitors center for 25JD (I believe) also so that you know what you're looking at. If the golf cart driver is kind enough to stop enroute to Treasury for pics, tip him, this is not something they have to do. Give yourself enough time to return to visitors center so you can buy a lunch for take-away prior to meeting your driver. The driver had water but you should plan on bringing some yourself, and plenty of places to buy cold water and coffee at stands once inside at Treasury. After getting back with driver, Wadi Rum is another ~1.5 hrs to the south. Jordan Drive Tribe has an agreement with one if the tour owners down there, so a man comes to meet you in his truck, brings you to a large tent where other groups will be present to hear about the Bedouin lifestyle of the past and history, then he will take you to see specific areas. Total 2 hours here, time flies by, extraordinarily beautiful and worth doing both in short time than just one, especially if you know you may not return. If I had the time I would've stayed overnight in Wadi Rum. Price is reasonable - I paid extra so that I could have vehicle to myself to lay down in seat.

Petra is worth a trip ot Jordan on its own - If this was simply Petra I would give a 5 start but we stayed at Sun City Luxury Camp in Wadi Rum and that was very ordinary and not recommended. Petra on the whole was very good but a one day event is really packing it in to do both of these activities as it is at least 5 hours of travel simply to get from Amman to Petra. WadiR is another 90 minutes added on. Petra has about a 1km walk in (doenhill and a bit rough) to get to the start of the site and it is another 1.3km to walk into the Treasury, paved, fairly shaded as such. The rock formations and colours on this walk are spectular on their own. You need at least 4-5 hours inside and that involves a fair bit of walking, often sandy, stoney and up and down. We, 72-80 yrs, managed it well and not at the peak of fitness, but it was fairly hot and the walk out was hard going. You can wait for a gold cart but they are slim on the ground and some of the animals did not look that well cared for so we did not want that as an option. we did over 24000 steps if that helps you and we did not go to the monestary. Petra was the highlight of our 6 dayJordan stay. I would not recommend Wadi Rum to anyone unless you were going to trek thru the desert as such. Our 2.5 hour tour was a sham, the guide was about 14 and spoke about 6 words of English and the tour went for about 30 minutes and another 20 or so minutes getting to the camp where the accommodation was about 2-3 starts, all the plates in the eating area were chipped, the vinyl on the chairs had perished, the cold drinks were in a fridge that was turned off and the list goes on. we paid almost 400AUD for an not enjoyable night there.

First trip to Petra and Wadi Rum - Petra and Wadi Rum are beautiful historical sites. We highly recommend. While we appreciated Mohammed and the care, he gave us (would do a trip with him again) the overall description of the trip needs to be better. We fully understood in Petra we could get a guide (you are on your own). There is little to no time to eat, so bring snacks. Bring a portable charger for your iphone and there will not be Wifi on the drive.
Wadi Rum we were disappointed in. You sit in the bed of a 4 X 4 pickup truck (not even sure our model was a 4X4), with constructed metal seats (that are not bolted) with cushions and there was no window between driver and us. There was no way for us to have any communication while he drove us on a highway and in the desert. We had no idea of what we were looking at while riding and you will get covered with sand. However, this maybe the only way you can travel in Wadi, we don't know. We started the trip (wadi rum) with no water, and every time he stopped the truck took at a minimum 4 times to start. The trip seemed more about driving us around and take photos. We would have liked to better understand about the beautiful country and places we visited.
With that said, company was very friendly. I just think if you are going to pay 399.00 USD you should fully understand its more about transportation.
