Booking this tour though BookingJordan was the best decision for me and my friend as we only had 5 days and wanted to make the most out of our trip on a budget. We mostly did day trips to from north to south of Jordan. The itinerary was planned really well and though the day was packed with activities, we had the evenings to ourselves to relax. The best part of our trip was our guide/driver/brother Mohammad Najjar! He is so energetic, positive and very informative. He was also very patient with us when we asked him to take us on a long detour near Mt. Nebo to find a hidden spring and then in Jerash as we got a little carsick and had to take our tour of the Roman ruins really slowly. He showed great local places to eat and bought us so much kanafeh and baklava that we were stuffed! He is also friends with almost everyone in all the sites so we got a lot of special treatment!
