    There were days when the itinerary was a little rushed so our group missed out on some events I would have liked to have participated in, but overall, what I did experience was very memorable and satisfying for an 11 day tour.

    We had a nearly perfect tour of Jordan purchased through Tour Radar. It was advertised that there would be a tour size of 10-15 people, but when we arrived at the airport and met the tour guide we were informed that it would in fact be a private tour with just my husband, myself, and the tour guide! So we had a very personalized itinerary and lots of attention. Plenty of space in the van, and we got to have one on one conversations the whole week and learn so much from our guide. He was the consummate professional, meeting us in our hotel lobby every morning. He gave wonderful recommendations throughout the trip. The itinerary was perfect - not too much per day, nor too little, but perfect action-filled days including every major attraction we could think of in Jordan. We felt perfectly safe the entire trip, too. This was my first tour booked through Tour Radar, and I thoroughly enjoyed it and highly recommend them. I will definitely book through them again, based on this experience.
