    Excellent private tour operator - five stars!

    Our tour of Jordan with Jordan Select Tours, encompassing four nights and five days, was excellent. They whisked us through border formalities at the Israel/Jordan King Hussein crossing, and off we went. Ajlun, Jerash, Amman, Madaba, Petra, and Wadi Rum. The hotels Jordan Select Tours proposed were true five star establishments, super comfortable and luxurious (with the exception of our night in Wadi Rum, where the accommodations were more 3-4 star level). The tour guides Jordan Select Tours arranged for us to meet at each site were very knowledgeable - although their abilities in English varied. At worst, we had to ask a guide to repeat himself, but otherwise they were fine. Our primary contact in planning this trip - over several years because of Covid - was Shireen, who was extremely patient and conscientious in answering all questions and making an effort to go above and beyond to ensure we were pleased. In choosing a private tour like Jordan Select Tours offers one's driver/guide is key since he is at once a driver/protector/arranger/facilitator all in one. Our driver, Esam, was excellent. He was extremely friendly, generous with sharing his knowledge of the Jordanian experience, diplomatic when need be, etc. Our wonderful trip to Jordan - which we loved - is very much tied with what Esam "brought to the party." High marks here. And most important, one day before our tour was supposed to end the Israel/Hamas war broke out and we were supposed to be dropped off at the Aqaba/Eilat (Israel) border the following day, Jordan Select Tours didn't drop us like a hot potato. They were extremely professional in getting us back to Amman (at a charge, of course), booking a five star hotel for three nights, and having Esam wait for us at our airline's Amman office (during a rather stressful day) as we changed our itinerary from Israel to Istanbul, then back to the US. Jordan Select Tours really proved their worth on October 7 and 8, 2023. I would highly recommend Jordan Select Tours without hesitation, as well as Esam. Should we go back to Jordan, we would only do so through them. Five stars, and thank you for making our trip so enjoyable!

    A day in and about Amman

    We spent the day with Raed Al Wahsh who was not only kind, but also an excellent driver and guide for our day in Aljun, Jerash, and Amman. We even spent lunch at a fantastic restaurant per his suggestion - he helped us order all the things to have the perfect end to our day! Thank you Jordan Select and thank you Raed!

    Best tour to Jordan

    Our guide was the best. From.the moment we arrive to the airport everything was arrenged and smooth. The visas the car and the whole visit was perfectly on time and with the knowledge of all sites to perfection. The kindness and welcoming of all the staff was incredible. The hotels they arrenged were in perfect location and very nice and comfortable. Our guide Hasan always had a smile and the best disposition to make us enjoy and know Jordan. We took the private tour and he drove us around always in a nice comfortable and clean car. Always looking for us to have water and taking us to places to eat that will blow your mind. He explained everything to us and made the experience a lot more valueble that we payed for. Thank you for all the staff behind and Hasan for the best first time to Jordan we will sure be back for more.

    _donweber · September 2023

    We visited all of the major historical sites in Jordan as well as taking a cooking class, star gazing in the desert.

    My wife and I did a 12 day tour of Jordan. Raed Alwhash was our driver the entire time. He provided great advise regarding the sites we visited. He was professional, prompt and courteous. The tour company was also excellent. They booked lovely hotels in safe areas. They had previousl fully refunded our deposit during the CoVid cancellations and also refunded an overpayment I had made for this years trip. The company also looked after our lost luggage from our flight and returned it to us.

    Jordan Tour

    Very adaptive and flexible to be with your own driver. Our driver was very incentive and did optimise our trip. Fantastic experience, great organisation from Jordan Select Tour. Esra our interface was very reactive and we did enjoy every minute of the trip.

    Amman/ Ajlun/ Jerash/ Amman: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Amman.

    How much does Amman/ Ajlun/ Jerash/ Amman cost?

    +

    Prices start at $120 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Amman usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Amman/ Ajlun/ Jerash/ Amman take?

    +

    Plan for about 6 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Amman is not rushed.

    Is Amman/ Ajlun/ Jerash/ Amman worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 68 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 13 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Amman, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Amman/ Ajlun/ Jerash/ Amman?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Amman/ Ajlun/ Jerash/ Amman suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Amman/ Ajlun/ Jerash/ Amman?

    +

    Around 5 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Amman can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Amman and add a light layer if any part of the 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Amman/ Ajlun/ Jerash/ Amman start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Amman within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Amman?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Amman experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include From Amman: Petra and Wadi rum Private/Group Full day Tour, From Amman :Private or Group Full day tour to Petra, Petra, Wadi Rum, Dead Sea 4 Days 3 nights. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Amman?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Amman?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Amman/ Ajlun/ Jerash/ Amman?

    +

    Included: Entrance fees to all sites as per the itinerary (if option selected); WiFi, bottled water, mobile phone inside the car; Services of a professional local guide in Jerash (if option selected); Lunch at a local restaurant (if option selected); and Transfers in private air-conditioned vehicle with professional English speaking driver. Not included: Drinks; Tips; and Personal expenses. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    +

    What languages is Amman/ Ajlun/ Jerash/ Amman offered in?

    +

    +

    Is Amman/ Ajlun/ Jerash/ Amman wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Specialized infant seats are available. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

    What happens to Amman/ Ajlun/ Jerash/ Amman if the weather is bad?

    +
