Petra was amazing even better than expected! Guidelines Ali was brilliant Jordan people very friendly and helpful Our driver Taysser was awesome!!!! Best ever!!! Super safe, and not at all busy!!! Only regret - I didn’t stay longer!
This was an amazing experience coming ton Jordan. Booked with Petra Night tours as a custom tour as only had a single day in Jordan. Our driver Taysser messaged me when I landed and met us at the airport and gave us so much insight into Jordan and the history of the area and stopped and showed us some extra things on the way. At Petra we had a guided tour of the site discussing all the history and the guide, Ali, was so knowledgeable. Petra has very tourist numbers at the moment due to the Iran conflict but this is a very SAFE country and the people are so friendly so it’s a great time to visit Jordan and there are no issues. I wish we had dedicated more time here as there is so much more to see.
Amazing experience! Truly unforgettable. We had an amazing time thanks to our driver Tayseer who was beyond amazing and made this experience memorable with all his advices, and guidance throughout the trip.
We booked a airport pick up at Amman to Petra. We were met at the airport by the very cheerful Mustafa who drove us to Petra that night. Mustafa gave us information on Jordan and Petra itself throughout the journey. We did Petra on our own and Mustafa collected us at our hotel the following evening right on time. The vehicle was clean and water was provided. Would book again and appreciate Mustafa's kindness, safe driving and helpful advice.
We had an amazing 4 days in Jordan doing many tours with Freddy and Mohammad. Everything we saw and experienced was beyond fascinating and they took us and accommodated us in the best way and went above and beyond. The knowledge and connections they have as well as amazing hospitality and driving we didn’t worry about a thing. Everything was dialed in and very clear. They were so friendly and fun. They have a deep knowledge of the history, area, and ecosystem it was so informative. It was so worth it!!!
Tayseer was our driver and was an excellent driving companion. The trip was roughly 3 1/2 hours but get shorter as he described each area with great detail. Once in Petra we had another guide who took us on a vigorous walk into the main section of the mountain passage into the Petra dwellings. Stunning walk, but be prepared with good walking shoes that are comfortable on loose rock. We finished our walk of Petra and Tayseer picked us up with warm bread in hand. Great way to finish …bread, cool water, and a nice nap.
Tayseer was our driver and was exceptional! He told stories of the region during our 3 hour drive from Amman and was just a super friendly and knowledgeable driver. He even had warm bread waiting for our departure. We had a great guide inside of Petra who was a master at taking iPhone pics. Overall a great tour with great people.
We spent a wonderful day in Petra and in the desert and our amazing driver and guide Mohammad Masoud took a lot of care of us and drove us safely around the most stunning places of Jordan!
We had a pleasent daytrip to Petra , everything was as planned .The driver was very informativ during the trip , nice clean car . We had a great guide at Petra very good english.
The trip felt like a dream . We had an excelent driver Firaaz . He made our trip so memorable He had a brand new car He was always on time friendly and We exoerienced Amman , Petra , Wadi rum and Aqaba An unforgettable trip
Petra Night Tours provided a fantastic service. My driver Oqbah was a personable & knowledgeable man, and as the day tour from Amman required around 5 hours (round trip) sitting in a (nice and modern) vehicle, his engaging conversation enabled the time to pass quickly. The guide at Petra (Ali) was an experienced and incredibly knowledgeable guide. Petra is an amazing place with a ancient history. I highly recommend anyone to use PN Tours as they were impressive from the initial booking stage in Australia, providing me a great platform to experience Petra, right through to the final drop-off at my hotel.
Had an amazing experience with Essam who was punctual, very friendly, gave great recommendations and was very thoughtful.
Quite simply an awesome day and one that I will not forget in a hurry. Petra blows one’s mind but thanks to a superb driver, Mohamaad and my guide, another Mohamaad (Alfarajat) it was more than an experience. Mohamaad Alfarajat is a class act with such patience, knowledge and pure professionalism - thank you.
This was a wonderful trip. The driver, Firas, was excellent - very good English, very safe driver, very nice person. The guide was Ali. Also an excellent guide, very knowledgeable, very helpful with taking photographs. Petra is spectacular. This was an excellent trip, highly recommended.
As promised at the time of booking, we were picked-up from our hotel at 7 AM for the 3 hour-drive to Petra in a comfortable car with air con, wi-fi, water and a short stop at the halfway point for coffee. The journey went really quickly as our driver, Oqba, is very knowledgeable and answered our many questions about Jordan, Amman and Petra. He also went out of his way to show us interesting sites on our way to Petra such as the smallest hotel in the world. We visited Petra with a guide and it was great to have him talk us through the history of this site which is much bigger than we had expected. We only wished we had selected an overnight stay in Petra because there is so much to see, in particular if you enjoy walking/hiking. March is a perfect time of the year to visit as the temperatures are not too high. The site is huge and we were able to take many pictures alone at the front of the Treasury without other tourists. We felt completely safe during our visit of Petra and our stay in Jordan. Friends and family have already booked their trip after seeing our pictures 😊 We would recommend to visit as soon as possible!
Me & my friend (2 girls) had visited Jordan with PNT tours... Our trip was wonderfully organised & well taken care with smooth transfers b/w Amman, Petra, Wadi rum & Dead sea. Mr Oqba is an excellent driver, who not only drove well but also guided us & explained about the places and significances ... Had a comfortable & memorable trip... Highly recommend PNT who are looking for trips in Jordan.
Flawless experience. Tayseer was an absolute joy and extremely accommodating as our driver. Once onsite, Ali gave us an excellent tour of this beautiful place.
My wife and I booked a tour with this company. My drivers name was Tayser. He was awesome very patient and informative with us really helped us to have a amazing experience in Jordan. I would highly recommend this tour company and this driver.
Awesome experience. My driver Oqba was very knowledgeable and helpful. I learned a lot about Jordan during the drive to and from Petra. Good communication with the operator and punctual pick-up. Petra itself is amazing. It was good to leave Amman early at 7am, that way there were limited crowds in Petra. It was much busier by the time I left.
My husband booked us a day tour to Petra and despite some apprehension initially, I am SO happy that we did this trip! I love history and I was in awe of this world wonder! Jordan was amazing, clean, friendly and above all safe! Our guide Tayseer was the BEST! He went out of his way to make sure we were happy and enjoying our trip without any worries! We got to see a couple of extra sights on our way and got to enjoy a traditional breakfast with him! He was beyond patient with us! As a last minute thing, we wanted to see the Citadel and Tayseer once again helped us make arrangements and took us! Tayseer truly provided exceptional service! We would 100% recommend visiting Jordan!
We had an amazing time in Petra. Our guide Tayseer was amazing and very professional! He was attentive and beyond helpful as he made sure to help us even beyond our day trip to Petra! Jordan welcomed us with open arms, everyone was friendly and everything was clean and accommodating! Most importantly we felt safe. Definitely recommend taking on the challenge and experiencing not only Petra but Jordan as a whole!
Firstly, communication with Petra Night Tours and ease around organising my airport transfer and subsequent day trip to Petra was first rate. As a person who “goes with the flow” I often find myself a little less prepared than I should be when on holiday. As I was in Jordan to attend a FIBA basketball tournament before I departed I’d focused more on the logistics of getting from the airport to my accommodation near the basketball stadium than subsequent trips once on the ground. My flight into Jordan was significantly delayed in Abu Dhabi and I messaged my guide/driver Oqba who assured me it wasn’t a problem and that he’d track the revised flight plans and be there when I arrived. True to his word Oqba was there waiting when I exited the airport arrival gate (3 hours late) which ensured that my two week holiday started on the best possible note after a long 33 hours of travel to get to Amman from New Zealand. After this initial exceptional service from Petra Night Tours and Oqba I started with PN Tours Jordan when researching options for a day trip to Petra on the tournament rest day. Their reviews looked great so I went with PN Tours and requested Oqba if he was available. Fortunately for me Oqba was available on the day I requested. On the day, Oqba picked me early and as we headed to Petra he proceeded to provide a great overview of the local history and cultural heritage of not just the areas we were travelling through but of Jordan in general. With my historical hunger fulfilled Oqba gave a very extensive overview of Petra and what to expect once on site, which was very helpful as I was doing a solo tour. I’d suggest getting a local guide for Petra but as I was on a tight time schedule I felt it better for me to go on my own to ensure I saw as much as possible in my condensed timeframe (it was my choice to restrict my time at Petra and not PN Tours as they have many tour options). The day was everything I’d hoped for and would like to thank Oqba for his stellar service ensuring the long day was as smooth and as fun as possible.
I had been waiting to take this trip for ovet a decade, and it far exceeded my expectations! My driver and guide Tayseer was incredibly knowledgeable and warmly hospitable. With Tayseer, the trip from Amman to Petra was just as exciting as seeing the famed treasury for the first time. On the way, We stopped for a Jordanian breakfast and sampled some beautiful memorabilia. I was treated to secret routes that showed me the finest hidden vistas of Jordan. We even finished with a brief driving tour of Amman. I came to see Petra, but I also met a new close friend who I consider a brother. Planning to schedule a return trip as soon as possible.
Jordan is open for Business!! From start to finish it was a great trip. My wife and I were picked up by Tayseer. He was a wonderful driver and informed us about all things Jordan as we travelled to Petra. Once we arrived at Petra he waited while our Guide Ali took us on the Tour. Ali was amazing and did an awesome job of explaining Petra, He is very experienced! He is also a great photographer, if you want great pics he is your man. When the tour was over Tayseer took us on another route back to our hotel and we were able to see much more. We both wished we had more time here in Jordan. Bottom line we were very impressed with our experience and we can't recommend them enough. Great experiences await you in an open Jordan!!
The whole experience was beyond our expectations and Tayseer was an excellent host besides being a superb driver and would ask for him again without hesitation. Thank you Tayseer . Warm regards David&Sue
I had an amazing trip to Petra! Spending 6 hours in the car (3 hours each way) with someone you just met can be a lot, but my driver Mohammad Masoud made the time go quickly. He is very friendly, informative and helpful. I really enjoyed my time chatting with him along the way. We also stopped halfway to Petra for a bio break, coffee and a little shopping which was great! When we got to Petra, I met my guide, Ali, who everyone said is the best guide in Petra. He is very knowledgeable, takes his time to explain everything, and on top of that, a great photographer. Thank you to Mohammad and Ali for a great trip! Shukran!
Today was quite literally out of my dreams. Oqba (my driver) was professional and kind- going above and beyond to help me see Petra (including walking to the Monastery) AND going to float in the Dead Sea (with the full mud mask experience). Even arranging dinner for me before dropping me off at the airport. I never could have imagined I would be able to do it all- and learn and see so much. The guide who was hired for two hours was also extraordinary- so knowledgeable and again kind. As a solo traveler who was a little nervous about coming to Jordan, Oqba simply put me at ease from the start. Do not hesitate to book. I can honesty I will remember today for the rest of my life- yes partly because it was Petra and the Dead Sea- but the effort Oqba put in (all during Ramadan- so he fasted the entire day). He even got me to smile in photos!
Both Oqba who drove us to Petra and Ali who guided us around were highly knowledgeable. We learned more about the history of Jordan than any other country we visited. The natural beauty of Petra was amazing. Ali took us off the normal tourist path to show us the colorful rock formations. He is also an expert photographer and took outstanding pictures. Our only regret was out inability to stay longer to see the other beautiful sites in Jordan.
Very nice experience in Petra. Highly recommended. Our tour guide was very acknowledgeable. Timing was perfect.
We enjoyed our tour guide and driver, especially Mohammad Masoud. He was quite friendly and helpful and very knowledgeable about the tour cites in Jordan
We had a very wonderful day in Petra. Mohammad Al Qadi picked us up on time and calmly driving took us to Petra. We received entry tickets and set off to explore Petra with local guide Muhammed. Muhammed turned out to be a very competent and knowledgeable guide, so first of all we learned a lot, and the time (unfortunately) flew by very quickly. This was the downside of this trip: too little time, you need at least 3 days to visit Petra. Thanks to both of our guides, we had a very interesting time.
Tayseer was amazing. His customer service was excellent; he is very polite and friendly. He shared tips on how to be safe. And his comfortable car has Wi-Fi and AC!
A friend and I booked a private day trip to Petra from Amman, and we couldn't have had a better experience with our friendly and most accommodating guide, Tayseer! He picked us up right on time from our hotel and provided a comfortable trip to Petra, which included a stop ok the way that offered a delicious buffet breakfast (not included but worth the price) and a ton of souvenirs to pick and choose from. We picked up snacks along the way. We opted to tour Petra on our own, and Tayseer gave useful tips on how to navigate our way through the site and not get cheated for our money while in Petra. As for Petra itself, it was scenic and involved a lot of walking. We did the full hike to the Monastery (~5.5 hours roundtrip), with a hard hike to the top, but so worth it. Bring good shoes and eat a good breakfast beforehand. Tayseer offered us a phone to contact him in case we lose service. He informed us to call when 15 minutes close to returning so he could provide cold water upon our return. Highly recommend this tour and our guide, Tayseer!
Tayseer was an amazing driver. Always felt safe, great recommendations. Overall lovely guy, and great transportation.
Loved our driver Tayseer, who was very reliable and kind. We travelled as a couple and felt very safe the whole time. Had a great time at Petra and would recommend to anyone else to book this tour!
I had an absolutely fantastic experience with our driver, Saber, on our journey from Amman to Petra. Saber's patience and professionalism truly stood out throughout the trip. His excellent command of English made communication effortless, and he went above and beyond to ensure our comfort and safety. Saber's caring nature and attentiveness to our needs made the trip even more enjoyable. I can't recommend him highly enough! Thank you, Saber, for making our journey to Petra unforgettable.
I did not have time to see everything, but this is a must see place if you are in Amman or Aqaba. The museum outside the site is free and worth a visit
Fantastic, really easy and we'll organised. Moawiah, my driver, was very friendly and welcoming. He brought me water and took me for tea and coffee at no extra charge. Highly recommend!
We had a full day trip from Aaman to Petra with Moawiah (Mo). He took us to extra places and went above and beyond to make our day special. His car is comfortable and clean and he let us do everything at our own pace. It was the perfect way to get some history and see Jordan- I highly recommend it!
This tour was very professional from start to finish. My driver, Moawiah, was amazing. He was punctual, kind, accommodating, and funny. The drive itself was around 6 hours total, but it went by very fast because of how knowledgeable Moawiah was about Jordan's history and landscape. I learned a lot from him. Additionally, the drive was comfortable as Moawiah provided water as well as a Wi-Fi hotspot. Upon arriving to Petra, the local guide, Ali, was already waiting. Ali too was very knowledgeable as a Petra guide and knew the area very well. Overall would recommend for anyone trying to do a one-day trip to Petra from Amman.
It was a remarkable experience. Moawiah helped to organise and arrange the guides to Petra and Wadi Rum. It was enjoyable experience. I let such wonderful people Sameer, Yahea and Moawiah. I would recommend all of them as they really have a passion and love for what they do. Yahea and Sameer are the best guides specializing in Petra and Wadi Rum. Apart from that, they take an amazing pictures. Thank all of them for making my trip such enjoyable experience 🙏🙏🙏
Amazing service! Was picked up promptly (even early) from the hotel, and Mohammad Masoud was a lovely driver and chaperone! The breakfast/shopping stop was perfect. Our guide at Petra (Ali) was also amazing, professional, and even had us pose for great photos in non-standard locations. Information was clear and interesting, and Ali never pushed us to continue beyond our pace (which was good for our feet!). Highly recommend this tour! It was a wonderful alternative to big bus tours and much more comfortable.
My one-day trip from Amman to Petra, booked with PN Tours, was amazing. Tayseer is an excellent tourism professional and a kind and warm person. He offered some historical and anecdotal information on my destination, and made great suggestions on places in Jordan I could visit next. Tayseer was punctual, spoke English very well, and is a very good driver. The whole experience was very positive and I’m looking forward to coming back to Petra next time!
I had an amazing experience visiting Petra with my best tour guide name Tayseer!! I highly recommend him when you visit Jordan. He is also very safe driver and good photoographer😉
I had a private tour to Petra organized by PN Tours Jordan and they were fantastic. Dalia was very responsive to my questions and helped arrange the day with a private guide at Petra. Saber, my driver, picked me up from my hotel and made the trip to Petra enjoyable. Along the way, he gave me information about the country and sites. We also stopped at the Moses’s Spring, which was a nice surprise. After the visiting the site, he dropped me back to my hotel. I highly recommend this tour group and Saber.
Faudi ( not sure of spelling) was a safe and enjoyable driver. He had a good sense of humor and we enjoyed our conversations with him. He took us into Petra, set us up with a good guide and was very explicit about how to find him after our tour. He even gave us a device that gave us Wi-Fi to connect with him. We asked for a place to eat after our Petra walk and he joined us for a good buffet meal. Petra was as we had hoped- spectacular.
Our driver was waiting for us in the hotel lobby at the appointed time. He was flexible about timing and chose good places for our food/drink/shopping stops. The car was clean and comfortable. Just as advertised he obtained our entry tickets and connected us with a very knowledgeable English-speaking guide. It was a very enjoyable day. Because timing was important it was good to have the private transfer and guide.
Tayseer was a WONDERFUL guide. Incredibly knowledgeable about Petra's ancient and Biblical history. Such a gracious and humble gentleman. I felt so safe with him and had such a lovely time. 10/10 would recommend Mr. Tayseer!
I booked a ride and our driver Tayseer was punctual, curteous, and extremely knowledgeable about the history of historical sites from Amman, Petra, Dead Sea, and much more. We had the most cultural experience that exceeded my expectations. Will continue to visit Jordan and will ensure I request Tayseer for future tours. Highly recommend.
