Great day trip with just...
Great day trip with just enough to do without being exhausted. Both the driver Ibrahim and local guide at Petra Sam were great company. The local insights and personal knowledge added alot to the trip. Would highly recommend the horse ride at Petra along the canyon and having a drink at the Cave Bar on the way out. It is a very long day so I recommend choosing the earlier departure option. Additionally, both San and Ibrahim spoke great English, so ask for them in the future if you plan on asking a lot of questions.
Response from the operator: Thank you very much for your wonderful review. We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed your day tour to Petra from Amman and that Ibrahim and your local guide, Sam, helped make the experience informative and enjoyable. Petra is a long day trip, so your advice about choosing an earlier departure, enjoying the horse ride, and visiting the Cave Bar will be very helpful for future travelers. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you again in Jordan with R&H VIP Transportation Services.

Very Comfortable and Enjoyable Trip
I did the tour as transport from Amman to Petra without needing a tour in Petra. Shadi, the driver, was great. He arrived early with a comfortable car and is a good, safe driver who also points out many interesting things along the way. We even took a little detour so he could show me a couple lookout-type locations with great views. He is very personable and great to talk with on various topics. He has great knowledge about all parts of Jordan since he used to be a full time tour guide. I highly recommend Shadi for all your Jordan transportation needs. I’m also using his services for my return trip to Amman.
Response from the operator: Thank you very much for your wonderful review and for choosing R&H VIP Transportation Services for your Petra trip from Amman. We’re delighted to hear that Shadi arrived early, provided a comfortable car, and made the journey safe, enjoyable, and informative. It’s great to know you appreciated his lookout stops, conversation, and knowledge of Jordan from his tour guide experience. We truly appreciate your kind recommendation and are happy to assist with your return trip to Amman. We hope to welcome you again on future visits to Jordan.

Amman to Petra
Our trip to Petra from Amman went better than expected because of Adnan! He is super kind and informative and we made us feel like we were in great hands. Without his help and insider knowledge the trip would not have been as smooth! You will be in great hands if you book with Adnan, thank you so much!

Awesome experience
This experience was great! Our tour guide was very knowledgeable about Petra. Our driver, Ibrahim, was also pretty knowledgeable about the city of Petra. He got us from our hotel and back safely and in no time! He allowed plenty of opportunities for bathroom stops and just overall taking care of us. Ibrahim was awesome!

Why this scores 75
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Day Tour To Petra From Amman: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Amman.
How much does Day Tour To Petra From Amman cost?
+
Prices start at $40 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 Day Tour To Petra From Amman 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 Day Tour To Petra From Amman worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 75 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 37 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 Day Tour To Petra From 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 Day Tour To Petra From Amman 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 Day Tour To Petra From Amman?
+
Around 13 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 Day Tour To Petra From 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, Amman Petra Full-Day Trip. 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.
