    I don't think it's fair to recommend this service.

    The guide who assigned us during our visit to Petra was randomly hire on arrival, Not (R & H VIP private company guide). The agreed time with tour guide as expected was 4 hours - unfortunately, this guide almost finished his service with us within 3 hours The tour driver accompanying us (Mr. Shady) did not provide us with a safe, skilled, driving service and was speedy driving sometimes that I had to alert him and monitor him throughout the trip. It is better for you to hire a driver with a car and to hire a guide yourself when you arrive in Petra

    Response from the operator: Thank you for your feedback. We take all reviews seriously. However, after investigating your profile and our booking system, we couldn’t find any record of your visit or booking with us, and would like to learn more about your experience, by send us your booking Reference number, so we can provide the experience we’re known for.

    A World Treasure

    Petra is all that it is shown to be in photos, but.... Allow enough time to explore it all. There's much more than the Treasury which appears on all the photos. A whole day would be good. Our Guide allowed only an hour! There is a 2km walk from the visitor centre to the treasury. An easy walk down through rock formations but a more difficult climb back up. Pony Carts are available ($20US pp) but need to be booked. Again our guide didn't book and we were left to negotiiate a ride back which cost $30 US pp one way. Petra is a 2-3 hr drive from Amman. There are hotels at Petra and in the nearby town.. The place itself is amazing but beware the trinket sellerss who are very pushy.

    Response from the operator: Thank you for taking the time to leave us such a positive review. We're always looking for ways to improve, so your feedback is invaluable. We hope to see you again soon!"

    Full Day Tour to Petra from Amman: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Full Day Tour to Petra from Amman cost?

    +

    Prices start at $93 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 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 Full Day Tour to Petra from Amman worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 59 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4/5 across 4 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 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 Full 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 Full Day Tour to Petra from Amman?

    +

    Around 1 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 Full 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, 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.
