Petra has been on my bucket list for years. I was very excited about this trip because it was affordable. Did I ever get my money’s worth. The accommodations, food, special activities and guide, Loay Olayan exceeded my expectations. Especially Loay. He is a wealth of knowledge about his country. I learned so much about Jordan that enhanced my trip. He is a credit to your company. And, Petra was all I wished for and then some. I certainly am recommending this tour to everyone.

Well organized and amazing trip through Jordan. Great guide (Ali) and driver! The Citadel and amphitheater in Amman were great. Lovely dinner with a local family. Turkish bath was relaxing. Amazing ruins in Jerash. Camping in the Wadi Rum desert riding camels. Little Petra and Petra (Treasury and Monastery) were unbelievable. Saw where John the Baptist baptized Jesus. Ended the trip floating in the Dead Sea. Highly recommended.

Our Trip to Jordan was absolutely fabulous! We saw almost the entire country over the 10 days in what I felt was a well paced and very well managed timeline. Petra was of course jaw-droppingly beautiful, but I'd say that about the entire country. Every place we went was so unique and splendid. Jerash with the expanse and beauty of the ruins; Mount Nebo with the layers of Mosaics and views of the Jordan Rive Valley; Wadi Rum with cliffs that seemingly are dripping into mauve-colored sands; Petra with it's Majestic Tombs carved into sandstone of colors indescribable; and the Dead Sea reflecting the mountains and sky in an ever changing environment.

Ali, our Tour Guide was wonderful and very kind. Iyman, our driver was absolutely superhuman in how he maneuvered through ancient streets and rugged mountains. We are deeply grateful for all they did to make our stay in Jordan wonderful. The people of Jordan were at all time warm and welcoming. Their hospitality will never be forgotten.

Thank you Smartours for a truly wonderful experience. It really was a trip of a lifetime.

All My Best,
Kristin

I have to state that the Journey to Jordan trip was amazing. The welcome person met us at the gate and we were ushered through and taken to the hotel quickly. The hotels were in a great area and the tour guide was great, never once did we feel like we were not safe, but again our tour guide Ali Sabatini was always ready and taking care of each of us as family. This trip was from the start a joy and we all left feeling like we really understood and experienced the country and people of Jordan.

The tour of Jordan was an unforgettable experience! From the ancient wonders of Petra to the stunning vistas of Wadi Rum, every moment was filled with wonders and amazement. The local cuisine was delicious and the hospitality of the people was second to none. I highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for a unique and enriching travel experience.

I have to commend your company for hiring Ali Sabatini who was our main guide in this last trip to Jordan, March 3, 2023 to March 11, 2023. I have been on tours before and have so much kudos for this tour guide and also his driver Iman who took care of us as though we were family. At arrival, your company had a person there who took care of us the group from the visa process to the baggage and to the hotel. I have to say in a time where service and customer care has been lacking, these guides and driver went beyond the call of duty and were amazing. I felt safe, taken care of, questions were answered, again an amazing time with a guide that took the time to really show us the best of Jordan. I hope that your company has more like Mr. Ali Sabatini and Mr. Iman (driver) because they made me not only recommend but also go back.
