This was a really excellent way to see a few highlights of Jordan, and was really excellent value for money. The guides made the border crossing a lot easier and quicker than it likely would have been navigating it on my own. The camp in Wadi Rum was great, and the time in Petra was incredible. Highly recommend the 3-day tour over the 1- or 2-day options, as there is so much to do in Petra - having the extra day there was well worth it. If you leave from Tel Aviv or Jerusalem it is quite an early pick-up and late drop-off, but if you can sleep on buses then this is not a problem - it means that you have almost three full days exploring Jordan.

Great tour in an old open jeep, who made the experience even more fun. Off road was a bit rough, the kids really loved it, but for older people (the jeep with us had a bit older ladies) it was sometimes too hard to climb. But overall a great experience in beautiful red canyon.

Amazing experience. Wadi Rum and Petra are a once in a lifetime experience. Very well organized. Only the accommodation and food in Petra that was provided, was not acceptable at all.

Me and my friend had the best time snorkelling, the instructor was super helpful and full of encouragement, countless types of wildlife to see and was lucky to spot a barracuda too!

He was very kind and patient. His English was amazing. David showed the ins and out of every gear piece we had and taught us how to dive.
