Tour Reviews
I don’t think I can say enough good about the 2 days we spent in Jordan (plus the one in Jerusalem) organized by Experience Jordan. We are a family of 5 – ages 9 to 40 something – and we all loved the time spent exploring Jordan. Ayman, our guide, and Hamed, our driver, went out of their way to be helpful and make sure our questions (even the kids very random, at times repetitive ones) were answered about life in Jordan currently (in Amman and as we drove along the Desert Highway) as well as historically (in Jerash and Petra particularly).
