What people are saying about Capital Governorate Amman

We have the best tour guide, Abdullah, we could imagine for this type of experience. He was very supportive, informative and patient. In the 2 days we learned so much going right back into history and then relating to the present locations, absolutely amazing. The locations were as listing in the itinerary and enough time was spent for each stop. The Bedouin camp was a bit of a culture shock and maybe a bit more information about this accommodation and the options available should be provided. Despite this the camp was beautiful and very clean, just a pity we arrived in the dark and left early in the manning also in the dark, winter hours. Thanks to our tour guide everything turned out well. The highlight of Petra was amazing with our tour guide doing an absolutely brilliant job of explaining all the details before we reached the main ruins.

Worth the money and the seemingly endless bus ride and delays at the border crossing which I've seen are standard. Excellent guide and camp and Petra was amazing I wish we had more time at the site as it takes more than 5 hours to walk around it. I'd probably recommend the 3 day tour if you want to explore it all

Awesome tour !! Border crossings are a little bit sketchy, because there is no guide so it can be a bit daunting and long, but it’s inevitable. Our guide in Jordan, Abdallah, was amazing. Super knowledgeable guy. Would totally recommend. Just be aware it’s a long and tiring 3 days, but very worth it. :)

Apart from border crossing first time (politics meants guides couldnt be there for it) experience was amazing, and well worth the money spent, factoring in 4 great buffet meals of high and healthy varied standard, great accomodation, good tourist spots and not having to worry about timetable.

This has been an Awesome experience. The hospitality of the Bedouin’s and the Beauty of Petra is wonderful.
