Great experience with Hasan - We had a wonderful experience with our guide and driver, Hasan. We decided to do this tour on our second day of being in Jordan. We visited Umm Qais/Gadara, Aljoun Castle and Jerash. The whole tour was very well planned. We chose to get some local guides at 2 of these locations so we could learn more about the history.
Hasan drove us to all these locations and patiently waited for us at local restaurants until we were done with visiting the historical spots. He never rushed us. He was very kind and respectful. He talked about life in Jordan, discussed mutual interests and hobbies, and he even gave us some tips on how to best visit his wonderful country since it was the beginning of our trip. He gave us several surprises and treats throughout the trip. He bought us some welcome drinks, took us to a beautiful secret viewpoint and took pictures for us. The most thoughtful gift of this tour was that he surprised us with some personalized souvenirs that he bought for us while we were out exploring Jerash. We had the best experience on this tour because of Hasan! We will be recommending him to all our friends and family who are thinking of visiting Jordan!

Great Private Trip. - The trip commenced as per schedule on 27 May 2023. Driver Mr.Ahmed Habibi was punctual and picked us up from our place well on time. He was soft spoken and drove around to all the listed places safely. Not only that, he also offered refreshments time to time. Time spent at each place was adequate. Overall, we had a wonderful experience and highly recommend this tour to everyone. If you happen to get this driver, that will be an added bonus to the trip :)

The northern Jordan experience - All the sites were fascinating! I especially loved the Jerash and imaging life in that era. Also loved the drive to the northern part of Jordan.

Well-paced tour to see attractions! - This was a well-paced tour which allowed us plenty of time to see the attractions without feeling rushed. Alaa our driver made the travel time very comfortable and even gave us a pocket wifi device so that we could stay connected throughout the day. All went to according to plan! Highly recommended for solo, couples or travellers in a small group.

Fantastic experience with a genuinely friendly person! - We had a great experience with our driver, Mohammad Ghaith, on our day trip to Um Quais, Ajloun, and Jerash. He was very good company and offered insightful tips for things to do, places to eat, and places to stay all over Jordan. He is very experienced as a tour guide and a very friendly person. I would highly recommend him to anyone!

Amazing day trip northern area of Jordan - Excellent day exploring the northern part of Jordan with our expert and hospitable driver, Majd. Jerash is incredible and well worth the last stop of the tour.

Excellent day overall! - Our trip with Yousef Jaber was really good! Yousef was really friendly, chatty and funny the whole time. He kept giving us snippets of information in between driving us to the various sights. We stopped for some lovely coffee and snacks mid morning, and he took us to a fruit shop that had excellent, yummy produce. He also took us to a brilliant restaurant in Jerash called Lebanese House for lunch (make sure to look them up - they’re really good!).
Please note that although we cannot fault Yousef for anything, the trip itself is not a fully guided tour. Yousef walked us through the initial bits of Jerash and gave us a bit of a tour, but only licensed tour guides are allowed to come in for a good majority of Jerash. If you need a tour of Ajloun Castle, Umm Qais and Jerash, you need to get separate licensed tour guides as well.

Think three times - Guide was taxi driver. Never guided. Nice guy. Answered our ?’s when we had them. Dialogue, not! Never got out of car. Dropped off and waited. I have hard time walking. Worst was JERASH. Dropped us off at entrance and waited, so we had to walk thru park and then do return walk same way to meet him instead of driving around and meeting us at rear entrance. Good driver. Very friendly.
