Highly Recommended Taxi & Transfer Service in Jordan
I would highly recommend this taxi and transfer company based on the excellent experience I had, both in Amman and during my trip to Petra. In addition to providing a highly professional service, I would like to highlight the reliability and professionalism of Shadi, the owner of the company. Having several drivers available ensures excellent availability and punctuality, which is especially important when you have a tight schedule. Above all, what I appreciated most was the sense of safety and trust they provide. When you are traveling in a country that is new to you, having someone responsible, honest, and always willing to help makes all the difference. I will definitely use their services again and would highly recommend them to anyone visiting Jordan.
Response from the operator: Dear Yessica, Thank you so much for your wonderful review and for taking the time to share your experience. Your kind words truly mean a lot to us. It was an absolute pleasure to be part of your journey in Jordan, and we are delighted to know that you felt safe, comfortable, and well taken care of throughout your trip. Providing reliable, punctual, and professional service is something we are deeply committed to, but knowing that we earned your trust is the greatest compliment we could receive. We believe that every guest who visits Jordan deserves not only excellent transportation but also genuine hospitality and peace of mind. On behalf of the entire Jordan Falcon Travel & Tourism team, thank you once again for your trust and recommendation. We sincerely look forward to welcoming you back to Jordan in the future and creating even more unforgettable memories together. Until we meet again, we wish you all the very best. Warm regards, Shadi Olyan Jordan Falcon Travel & Tourism

Perfect day trip to Petra
This is my first time in Jordan (I am a US med student here for a global health rotation) and Ashraf Olayan was my tour guide, recommended by the doctor I am rotating with. I can honestly say that Ashraf is ONE OF THE BEST guides and drivers I’ve ever had in all of my travels. He is an excellent driver, and I felt safe and comfortable during the long drive from Amman to Petra and back. He went inside of Petra with me to show me the different structures and took all of my photos, which was very helpful since I am travelling solo. He is incredibly kind and attentive, and made sure I was well hydrated and fed throughout the trip (we had coffee, traditional breakfast and lunch). We also had very pleasant conversations during the drive, and I learned so much about Jordan, its people and culture, the food, the main tourist spots, his family, etc. I would highly recommend this service, and especially Ashraf Olayan to anyone visiting Jordan!
Response from the operator: Dear Dr. Sa’eb, Thank you very much for your kind words and for taking the time to share this wonderful feedback. We truly appreciate your trust and your recommendation. We are honored that your first experience in Jordan was such a positive one, and we are especially grateful for your appreciation of Ashraf Olayan. Your detailed review beautifully reflects his professionalism, kindness, and genuine care for our guests. Knowing that you felt safe, comfortable, and well supported throughout your journey—especially while traveling solo—means a great deal to us. It was a pleasure to have you in Jordan, and we wish you all the best in your global health rotation and medical career. You will always be most welcome back, and we would be delighted to assist you again in the future. Warm regards, Jordan Falcon Travel & Tourism

Solo trip to Petra
Mr. Shadi was a wonderful driver. He was kind and respectful throughout the whole journey and gave me enough space to truly enjoy the trip. We stopped whenever I needed, without any stress or rushing. Thanks to his calm and thoughtful approach, the whole ride was very pleasant and enjoyable. I really appreciated his attitude and would happily recommend him.
Response from the operator: Dear Hana, Thank you so much for your kind and thoughtful words. It was truly a pleasure having you with us, and I’m very happy to know that you felt comfortable, relaxed, and well taken care of throughout the journey. Providing a calm, respectful, and flexible experience is always our priority, so your feedback means a lot to me personally. I’m glad the trip met your expectations and that you were able to enjoy it at your own pace. Thank you once again for your trust and recommendation. You will always be most welcome in Jordan, and I truly hope to see you again in the future. Warm regards, Shadi Jordan Falcon Travel & Tourism

Why this scores 73
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Amman Petra Full - Day Trip: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Amman.
How much does Amman Petra Full - Day Trip cost?
+
Prices start at $88 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 Petra Full - Day Trip take?
+
Plan for about 8 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 Petra Full - Day Trip worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 73 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 22 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 Petra Full - Day Trip?
+
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 Petra Full - Day Trip suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Amman Petra Full - Day Trip?
+
Around 8 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 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Amman Petra Full - Day Trip 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 Petra Full - Day Trip?
+
Included: Private transportation; Hotel Pickup & Drop-off; On-board WiFi; English Speaking Driver; and Airport Pickup & Drop-off. Not included: Meals. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
