    I thoroughly enjoyed my Explore Jordan Discovery Tour. It was a good amount of time to see a fair bit of the country. The tour guide Musa was very knowledgeable about the sites we visited, the history and about Jordan's culture. The number of activities planned for each day was not excessive and we did not feel overwhelmed. Additionally, as I have some mobility issues I was not forced to participate in anything that would make me feel uncomfortable. In fact, the guide, driver, or hotel staff went out of their way to make sure I was OK. The transport was safe, and the drivers were competent. The hotels chosen by the company were all clean and well-maintained and any issues with the rooms or facilities were quickly resolved. I would not hesitate to recommend that tour or the company to others based on my positive experience.

    The service provided by Tourradar and Explore were amazing. I was met at the airport immediately and ushered through the airport quickly. A driver was waiting for me outside. The accommodations where great and the tour was absolutely memorable. I highly recommend this tour. Please don't be afraid to go to Jordan. It is a peaceful, welcoming country with so much to offer. I always felt very safe. Our tour guide, Zuhair, was very knowledgeable and attentive. The driver and vehicle were great too.

    We had an excellent holiday in Jordan with the Explore! Jordan Discovery Tour. This has been my best trip so far! Petra is an unbeatable experience, as world wonderous as its reputation says. There is so much more to Petra as well than the well-known Treasury, and our guide opened our eyes to this as we went on the guided tour on the first day in Petra. I am glad we picked this tour with two days in Petra, as this helped orient us before being able to explore more intimately and independently on the second day. The treasures there are incredible, and the hikes to explore them are full of surprises along the way. You really can’t not be wowed by Petra. As animal lovers, being accompanied on the hikes by cats and dogs was cool too. We also really loved the camping (more like glamping!) experience in Wadi Rum, and are very grateful for Saleh’s sharing of his personal and the cultural stories of the Bedouin community in Jordan. Aqaba offered more of a retreat and more sun, with a unique experience floating in the Dead Sea and a fun boat tour. Amman was a great city too. The tour was really well organized, with an introduction in Amman and a spiritual visit to Mount Nebo, followed by the best but more intense part in Petra and Wadi Rum, then the Red Sea and Aqaba to rejuvenate ourselves following those days. I feel like we saw a lot of what Jordan had to offer and at a good pace – enough to experience as much as we can, but at a speed to really experience it. We tried Jordanian cuisine and offerings along the way, and of course the tea and coffee. Rooms were always good quality too. Journey times were never too long and had toilet and tea breaks on route. Weather was pretty ideal mid-end Oct for the nature of activities. A huge thank you to our tour guide, Saleh, who really made this tour the wonderful experience it was. We developed a little family for the week and we all learnt so much from Saleh who clearly loves his country, his faith and his people and was open to sharing this all with us, so that we then fell in love with it all too. Saleh was always there to answer questions, check rooms and excursions were all okay, tie our head scarfs, and helped with ensuring our food was vegetarian suitable too. Saleh also helped to organize a tips kitty which would cover all the suggested tipping along the way, which made that much easier for us as often tourists feel uncertain about what’s appropriate and knowing how much cash to have. Things are quite affordable in Jordan. The people in Jordan are such lovely people, so friendly and welcoming and wanting to share their culture with tourists and help. Jordan is very safe, with us feeling completely happy to wander about at night. Jordan is also safe from the war going on around it – Jordan has made its position clear and its priority is keeping its land and people safe, and we had no feeling of risk in Jordan at all. Please do not be put off travelling there while you are permitted to.

    Well planned and Zuhair was a passionate and caring quide-greatly appreciated the hike he offered on the free day-it was excellent climbing up and down off the beaten edge path in Petra. The predays in Ammon lodging was way too expensive at $132/nite even though I booked through Explore. When I added a last nite more reasonable at $67/nite. Loved eating dinner out together but way too expensive-12jd a person. When we later went out to eat on Rainbow Street the total bill for 3p was only 15jd and the food was exceptional 👌, best we had in Jordan. The chef that showed us how to cook a meal did not speak English so he could not share how they cooked or stories. Zuhair stepped in when asked and offered good information about eating in Jordan. The transfer and visa on the early day we arrived was great service!! It would be cheaper to use Uber for transfer back to airport then hotel arranged. Overall Jordan trip was one of adventure and learning, so thankful to meet beautiful people in a historic country!
