I was recently on the Essential Jordan tour which was brilliant. Our guide Issa was enthusiastic, knowledgeable and great fun. He was always up front and honest about restaurant recommendations and different features of the places we were staying, for example telling us in advance that if local salespeople in Petra requested he ask us if we would like to buy anything, he would do so. He went over and above his responsibly as a tour guide in my opinion, for example dropping me off at a hospital to visit a friend, and bringing us cakes to celebrate one of our group member’s birthday. The transport and accommodation was very clean and comfortable, and the tour was well organised. The attractions were really enjoyable and Issa’s talks really enhanced the experience! Petra, Wadi Rum and the Dead Sea were real highlights. Thoroughly enjoyed my week in Jordan!
