“We had a fantastic experience with Mohammad Bardaghawi. He contacted us in advance via WhatsApp with all the details, and throughout the day made sure we were well looked after — providing water, local fruit, and traditional pastries. Also in car WiFi. His car was clean and comfortable, and he drove safely and professionally. Mohammad also shared useful insights about Jordan without being overbearing, and gave us plenty of time to explore on our own. Friendly, polite, and reliable — a safe and secure way to see the country. Highly recommended. Thank you, Mohammad!”

“Our trip was very interesting, we saw a lot of cool places. Driver was considerate of my daughter being pregnant and he drove very carefully. One remark, that it would be nice to know ahead of time that there is a lot of hiking involved in the trip. Not everyone in our group had proper shoes for climbing the rocky mountings.”

Private 6-hour tour from Amman to the Dead Sea for easy floating, mud treatment, and Jerash Roman ruins, plus resort lunch.
“We were taken to the Crown Plaza, which was excellent and a very good 5 star experience. The drive was easy. Our driver offered to add a stop at the Bethany Baptismal site - only a short detour - and said it would cost an extra JD35 and take 1.5 hours. We didn’t realise the tour itself wasn’t included in this price and it cost JD12 per person more at the visitor’s centre, so for two of us it was JD59 in total. The Baptismal tour was also slower than expected and took over 2 hours. I definitely recommend the Dead Sea experience.”
Private half-day trip from Amman to Jerash with hotel pickup, a local guide for 2 hours, and time to wander Roman ruins like Oval Plaza and temples.
“I paid for 6 hours tour and I got 2 hours tour, for 200€!!!!!!!To try to save the situation the company proposed us to drop us off at a coffe shop wait from 12.30pm to 4pm and give us half an hour tour around the city/or in site of the center and then run at airport. I’m disappointed to have waste my money. Furthermore the company, after my complaint over email said that 6 hours tour means 2 hours in Jerash site 2 hour of moving to and from there (even if we too just 30 min) and 2 hour waiting. Not exactly what is written and what I paid…”
