The guide was very nice, however info …

Also wish we didn't eat at big roadside tourist buffets. …

I think Petra should start earlier and tourist should be better prepared to be hassled by vendors, more time spent in Wadi Rum. I thought Khalid did a great call by moving the Dead Sea to the first day rather then the last.

Driver service was average– did not respect boundaries for guests. Airport pickup was average– was not at gate. Petra and Salt were highlights– should have stayed two days at Petra! Excellent tour overall and would definitely recommend. Very good value for money.

To discover the amazing site of Petra was well above our expectations. Our guide Taher would be second to none in knowledge. He led us at a perfect pace. A wonderful trip indeed.
