What you'll see and do
Petra
Petra, the Rose-Red City, was the impressive capital of the Nabataean kingdom whose ruins remained hidden to most of the world until the Swiss explorer, JL Burckhardt, disguised as an Arab scholar, infiltrated the city in 1812. It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site as well as one of the New Seven Wonders of the World. Meet your private guide at the site and hike or ride a horse down to the entrance of the Siq, a long, winding sandstone canyon that leads to the Treasury. The tour continues to the Street of Facades, the Roman Theater and the Royal Tombs. Note that travel time is 3 hours driving from Amman to Petra and another 3 hours back.

The worst tour provider....
The worst tour provider. We booked and asked them if they can pick us up in Dead Sea and drop off at Wadi Rum days before our trip and they said it can be arranged with additional at 50$ and we agreed to pay. And 2 days before our trip, I texted them again if it’s confirmed and they said “yes, your booking is confirmed” I sent them locations where to pick up and drop off, I’m not sure if they even read it cos they always replied “yes” yes yes to everything. And a day before our trip which passed cancellation date, I confirm with them again if everything is confirmed. But turned out they don’t even remember what I asked and said “your tour not included pick up at Dead Sea and drop off in Wadi Rum” I asked for a refund but they denied. I said I can’t go with them if they can’t pick me up at Dead Sea but they already charged me 200$ and I asked for refund but denied again, offered me options I can’t do. Don’t use this tour. So bad!! Worst birthday trip ever!!! Even the Viator operator refused to help me!
Response from the operator: Now based on your story seems you are the victim, but from our sides, you try to take advantage of our company, when we approved the pick up from Dead Sea, you didn't say anything regarding drop off to Wadi Rum, and before one day of the tour, you asked to dropped off to Wadi Rum and said it's included in the tour, witch is not right, because the tour name is so clear, (Petra tour, not Petra and Wadi Rum), and you kept saying you booked Petra and Wadi Rum tour, then you start threating our team and also send that you will inform your credit card company that it's a fraud, then you also sent you will add multiple bad reviews and kept threating in multiple ways witch didn't left us anything to do. Now trying to scam a travel agency by this way and sending threating emails, was not a good idea, because our legal team have a copy of all that and they will take legal action specially when it's threating our agency and employee safety

Exceptional travel experience
Prompt pickup at our hotel in Amman. Car was clean and Driver hospitable. Travel company arrange for a guide at Petra, which I feel is a must. He was able to explain many more key points not mentioned in brochure give at entrance

Well worth the money! You will come out of this with so much knowledge and appreciation for Petra
I had a once in a lifetime experience with my guide and driver! I felt extremely safe as a solo female traveler throughout the whole experience. I was picked up promptly at my hotel in the morning and enjoyed a nice ride with Ramzi while I slept on and off. At Petra my guide, Mamoun, was so knowledgeable about every detail of the city. I was blown away by how much he connected everything together through our journey that I didn’t even realize we had been walking for hours. I would like to add that there was absolutely zero hassle with gift shops and being coerced into buying things as it had happened to me before with other tour company.

Full Day Petra Private Guided Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Amman.
How much does Full Day Petra Private Guided Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $70 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 Full Day Petra Private Guided Tour take?
+
Plan for about 3 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 Full Day Petra Private Guided Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 53 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.1/5 across 7 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 Full Day Petra Private Guided Tour?
+
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 Full Day Petra Private Guided Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Full Day Petra Private Guided Tour?
+
Around 2 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 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Full Day Petra Private Guided Tour 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.
