I chose to go for a private tour as i was travelling solo and i knew that no group tour company had an itinerary that went even close to doing what i wanted to do without rushing or compromise.
I was lucky i found Jordan Direct tours, who helped me put together the perfect itinerary for my short stay of 5 days in Jordan that helped me tick all of the bucket-list items i had plus so much more.
My tour consultant Esra’s communication when helping me put together my itinerary was prompt and attentive, answering all of my questions with so many emails back and forth, and was super-flexible with swapping and changing some existing itineraries and accommodation choices until i had a perfect itinerary to suit my short stay and high expectations on what i could fit into such a short amount of time.
From the moment i landed in Jordan, i knew i had made a great decision, as i had a representative meet me there to do all my paperwork and visas for me.
My private tour of Jordan began with my personal driver/chauffeur taking me around Amman in a very comfortable sedan to do some of the cities main attractions like the Citadel and the Roman Ampitheatre before heading back to a very nice motel to end the day.
My driver Wesam was very professional in every way, and as much as i knew i was a client, Wesam made you feel more like a friend. He would meet me exactly at the time organised each morning, and as we moved onto the next adventure he not only explained what we were doing or where we were going, he would also give me options on how the day could play out. When i really liked a place and wanted to spend a little bit more time there, Wesam helped tweak the timing of the day to allow me to do so without throwing the itinerary into chaos.
The accommodations that Esra organised for me were next level, especially the Martian tents” at Wadi Rum and The Hilton at the Dead Sea.
In my short stay i was lucky enough to go to Jerash, Little Petra, Petra and Petra by Night, Wadi Rum, and the Dead Sea plus many of the religious sites in Jordan, an itinerary i was told that was not possible by so many other travel agencies and companies, yet everything went like clockwork and never felt rushed.
So if you are travelling solo like me or with a couple of friends or family, i can totally recommend Jordan direct tours to customise your dream Jordan itinerary as well- i would gave had regrets if i went with anyone else.
Thanks Esra, Wesam and the Jordan Direct Tour team!
