The drive was beautiful, and our bus driver had skills! Our guide was fantastic and so informative. His passion for Petra was very clear and he was so friendly and kind. We enjoyed his company, and Petra was beautiful; even the walk to see the tombs was stunning. The camp was nice, and the food was good. I definitely recommend this trip!”

“La comodidad del campamento y la comida fue fantástico!! El guía fue amable, buenas explicaciones. Mucha pérdida de tiempo en la frontera porque tuvimos que esperar que llegaran otros tours. Si bien hasta allí cada uno llega con el tour de la empresa que reservó, del lado jordano hay que esperar porque se juntan todos los grupos en un solo bus. La excursión el día de Petra podría comenzar más temprano. Es poco tiempo el que tuvimos para recorrer, solo 3,5hs.”
