Very disappointed with the people who run this company. I booked (paid in full) just a few days before the coronavirus shut everything down in March 2020, they assured me that everything would be ok and that I could rebook when things reopened. When Jordan reopened I got back intouch and rearranged the Tour date, the day before the tour was due I double checked with them to see if we were still meeting and where; they confirmed all of the details. I got to the meeting point and they were not there, I tried to call and waited but nobody showed or answered. Very lucky a tour guide took from my camp took me instead - I definitely recommend seeing Wadi Rum but DO NOT use this company they will take your money and not show up. Very disappointing indeed. Use a better service! Really messed me around saying they would be there when they had no intention of doing so. Avoid!

It’s really a unforgettable experience. Emad picked up me from my hotel . He is a very good guide . He knows the city inside out . Cause he had been doing this for a long time . He gave me a quick briefing about the tour . He told me I can spend as long as I like if I am interested in some places . To void crowds we should visit the mosque first. Nobody was there when we arrived . So the mosque opened the door just for me . What a VIP treat . After the mosque we went to citadel. I loaned to stay there for 45 minutes . After I stepped in , there was a magic in the air. I instant fall in this place . The view is spectacular , 360 degrees panorama view of Amman city . The ruined monuments and the temple, also the museum just kept me going for ever. When I realized my next appointment was coming . I have stayed there by myself almost 2.5 hours . Emad was patiently waiting for me outside . When I ready to leave , he was there already to pick me up . Due to the timing , he suggested me servers new plans . They are all sounds very interesting . If I have time I will contact him and let him to show me all the best places in Amman . I really enjoyed this trip ....

Booked a transfer last December 2019 with this company and they were able to provide us transfer even on a short time notice. We travelled with kids (8 & 5) ,they provide car seat with additional charges, the van was clean and comfortable. Driver was patiently waiting us after the immigration at the border and was friendly especially to our kids. If you are looking for a hassle -free and comfortable transfer from the border to the city, they are definitely the company where to book to.

I never take the time to write a review because I am never really impressed. Jordan Private Tours changed my mind! I was blown away by their flexibility to change things and their quick response, not to mention they allowed us to customize our private tour and their friendliness! My husband and I travelled to Jordan in late April 2021 and had Ja’far Iskek as our guide and driver throughout our visit. We visited Amman, Jarash, Petra, Wadi Rum, and the Dead Sea. Throughout, Ja'far provided great insight into the history of the areas and took care of us. He also provided cold water bottles in the car and not to mention WIFI in the car as well. Visiting Joran was definitely a trip of a lifetime! We will cherish our memories forever! Thank you so much for the hospitality. I highly recommend Jordan Private Tours and Ja'far Iskek! Thanks!
