“Couldn’t recommend this tour enough, from the start of the booking the communication was effective, and we had a great time from the minute Yousef picked us up. Quite quickly into the tour Yousef became one of the group, he had great historical knowledge of Jordan, whilst also being a great laugh and enjoying the fun of our trip through him. Yousef also went above and beyond for our group when he didn’t need to which we were really grateful for. We had ample amounts of time at each location that meant we could thoroughly enjoy and take in the sights. Again would definitely recommend this tour, and you’ve hit…”

Wadi rum was a life changing experience and the camp booked was phenomenal (they had a cute cat too). Fox also kindly offered to drive…”
