Choose a different company

Felt extremely unsafe as Americans traveling. Driver made multiple unsolicited stops (stopped over 4 times for a 3 hour drive in the middle of nowhere), was unprofessional, and rude when we asked him to not make these stops. He left us in the car multiple times for over 10 minutes to “grab things from his office” and smoke a cigarette. We contacted to edit reservation as 1 person could not make it. They pretended to not see our message and refused to refund us. Purposely not responding or answering our calls. We were provided with a miniature car for 2 people and are being charged for 3 even though only 2 attended. Beware and use any other tour company than this one.

Overall good day trip to Petra.

The trip was very well organized. I had an excellent driver who makes passengers comfortable and safety first. The guide at Petra too was knowledgeable. However what I have realized is that the Petra day Trip included Amman sightseeing. I am sorry to say that I really do not think the Amman sightseeing part of the deal was covered.
