We have just returned from Jordan on the ‘Essential Jordan Tour’ & had an amazing time.
Jordan desperately needs tourism, it is suffering terribly from the current situation across the border. We felt completely safe & at no time regretted our decision to go there.
Our guide Faizal was amazing. He had an extensive knowledge of Jordanian history & was keen to share it with us, along with his passion for his Country, we left enriched. He also assisted by checking on our comfort with the quality of our accommodation & ensured we had enough food, water etc. If you are allocated Faisal as your guide, you are very fortunate.
Upon arrival at Queen Alia Airport, passport control took forever, meaning the Travel Talk driver, thought we weren’t on the flight, so had left. No problem, I simply rang the emergency number & he returned within half an hour.
We had a further issue with the itinerary, which Travel Talk dealt with swiftly & without question.
There will always be problems that crop up, it’s the way they’re dealt with that makes the difference. I considered Travel Talk dealt efficiently & effectively, with our issues.
There are several changes that should be made to this itinerary; the Camp in Wadi Rum is not Captains Cabin, as apparently this camp was letting customers down. Also, there are references to ‘Amphitheater’s’, which as Faizal pointed out, do not exist in Jordan, they are Theatre’s or Odean’s. This historical inaccuracy is annoying for travellers looking to learn from the experience & should be changed.
The hotel choices in Petra & Amman are good, offering a reasonable 4* level of accommodation. However, the camp in Wadi Rum, even being realistic to its location, would benefit from a deep clean, there were also no pillow or mattress protectors. In this respect, it needed to up its game, (due to this, I’ve only given accommodation 3* which is a little unfair to the lovely hotels). This didn’t spoil our enjoyment of Wadi Rum though, which was magical.
We were delighted with our Jordan tour & with Travel Talk, we would definitely consider them for future tours.
