Beautiful Petra
We had a very good time. Our group was of four people - me, my mother and one couple. Our driver was friendly and experienced. He made an extra stop on the road so we can enjoy the view and take pictures. The vehicle was clean and comfortable. When we arrived in Petra the driver bought us entry tickets, we didn’t have a tour guide inside Petra. It wasn’t made clear that we’re entitled to a free of charge guide, we thought we have to pay extra, but we were okay without a guide. We had 3 hours to see Petra which is not enough time if you want to take pictures, or ride a camel in example, but we were hungry anyway. After that the driver was waiting for us and brought us to the reastaurant where we had lunch - a really nice place with tasty local food. After our lunch he drove us back to Aqaba. We had an awkward situation with the tip for the driver as we were following the instructions given by our agency in Bulgaria - to give 2 USD to our driver and 4 USD to our guide daily. So after he left us at the hotel we gave him 8 USD tip from everyone from the group and he was unhappy with that, said that it’s a very small tip for a whole day and that the normal tip for a whole day should be at least 20JD which was fine and he deserved it, but it‘s good to know.

The best Petra experience someone can have
This tour is a 10/10. The driver Mashhour was on time with a clear sign waiting for my group, the van was comfortable and had WIFI all the time. Then, Mohamed the guide had an exellent attitude and perfect english and knowledge. He was patient with us while we took pictures and gave the whole tour with clear explanations. The food where we had lunch was the best arab food I’ve ever tried and the place was so nice, clean and Typical.

Fantastic experience!
I had an amazing experience with Bridge Travel in the one day guided tour to Petra. The service, quality of the transport, the guided tour, the buffet lunch, all was just perfect! I highly recommend it.

A good day out with a friendly driver but a cold reception at lunchtime
We had a good day trip to Petra with a friendly driver who allowed us to take as long as we wanted walking around the large site. December was ideal for a visit as it wasn't too crowded or hot. All the arrangements went smoothly except that the Basin restaurant, where we had been told to go for lunch, had no reservation for us and then, when we had sorted that out, they said we could eat there but would have to pay for the meal in cash. As we had paid for everything in advance we were not pleased about having to sort that out as well. The cold indifference that we met at the restaurant was not what we expected.
Response from the operator: Dear Kerry030, Thanks for this note, please be aware we were in contact with guide to not let you pay anything there was misunderstanding from the restaurant and if you paid anything we will refund you back the amount . again we are very sorry for this we will take this note also to improve our services in future, you are always welcome among us Best Regards Bridge Travel

Private tour from Port in Aqaba For Four
Our tour was booked online through TripAdvisor and everything went very smoothly at the Cruise Port in Aqaba Jordan. The driver picked up four adults next to the ship as soon as we were cleared to disembark. Thanks to excellent planning we had scarves and some jackets since it was cold and dusty. Good hiking shoes or closed toed shoes are a must. We had a two hour drive and stopped on the way for a break. It’s an experience since the drivers stop for coffee and tea and invite you to join them. The views of the landscape are vast and almost eerie. If you have to be back on the ship by 3-4pm I recommend taking a carriage one way to the Treasury at Petra. Also, ask when you book if you can have a guide longer than the Treasury. Petra has many areas to explore and whatever your cruise offers is worth the money. We had extra time, but 3 older adults were tired and couldn’t walk more. The $40USD carriage ride is worth every penny. Lunch was very good too at a local restaurant. Make sure to use the restroom at Petra since the restaurant was crowded with a tour bus. Overall Petra is amazing and one of the most exhilarating places to visit in the world. Bring a camera or two with extra batteries. We could have visited Wadi Rum as well, but were exhausted from the walking and lunch.
Response from the operator: Dear Ms. Rebecca, Thanks A lot for your nice words & Recommendation . we are very happy that you enjoyed your trip to Jordan and you are always welcome among us . Best Regards Bridge Travel

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
One Day Petra from Aqaba - Guided Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Aqaba.
How much does One Day Petra from Aqaba - Guided Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $137 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Aqaba usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does One Day Petra from Aqaba - Guided Tour take?
+
Plan for about 7 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 Aqaba is not rushed.
Is One Day Petra from Aqaba - Guided Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 64 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 18 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Aqaba, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule One Day Petra from Aqaba - 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 One Day Petra from Aqaba - Guided Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book One Day Petra from Aqaba - Guided Tour?
+
Around 6 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 Aqaba 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 Aqaba and add a light layer if any part of the 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does One Day Petra from Aqaba - 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 Aqaba 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 Aqaba?
+
On Outty we rank every Aqaba experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include 4x4 Full-Day Desert Tour, Wadi Rum Full Day Jeep Tour + Overnight & Dinner in Bedouin Camp, Diving, Snorkeling & Leisure Cruises by Boat. 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 Aqaba?
+
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 Aqaba?
+
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.
