Fabulous tour of north Jordan!

Fantastic tour of north Jordan ! Zaid travel company was prompt and very responsive for any queries from the time of booking. Mr. Basel was the driver for this tour and he was very knowledgeable and did give a lot of historical information about the historical sites visited. He made the trip very comfortable. Highly recommended Zaid tours and do ask for Mr. Basel to be assigned to you.
