Excellent

It was a unique experience. Our driver Isa was an excellent guide from the beginning with an Arabic coffee and errands with a typical poster. He took us to the agreed Linares but with great patience, selecting good places for photos. He did not force us to go to shopping places, only when we were interested. I recommend it to you

Great tour and our driver was amazing

Our driver, Jesus, was waiting for us at the airport and did an amazing job. This one-day tour is quick and allows you to see many sights when you are limited on time. Jesus was very professional and spoke excellent English. I most appreciated the advice and insight Jesus provided. On a personal note - my girls left an Apple tablet in the vehicle after our tour. I called Jesus, and he drove 2 hours round trip to bring the table back to us at 10 pm. We were so incredibly appreciative of this amazing kindness. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you

Such a great experience

This tour was great and our guide and driver, Basel, was wonderful. He was so kind and full of information. He was able to answer any questions we had and kept us updated on the itinerary. We started out with Amman sightseeing, went to Madaba and saw mosaics, ate a great lunch, saw the Promised Land at Mt. Nebo and floated in the Dead Sea. It was just an amazing day! Highly recommend this tour.
