Perfect!!!
Absolutely perfect. The company was very responsive to all of my pre-booking questions and very clear on all of the details. Our driver Murad was more than we could’ve possibly asked for. Such a gentleman. Always prompt. We hired a driver only but he was so much more! His English was amazing and he knew so much about the country. His experience showed: He would drop us off at a church and say “see you in an hour” and that’s exactly how long we would want. He was accommodating and a joy to be with. When he heard that we had enjoyed scuba diving in Egypt, he advised us that there was good diving in Aqaba and arranged a shore dive for us. He was a safe, courteous driver, and even though I am sometimes a nervous passenger, there were no issues at all.

A Brilliant 4 Day Tour with Jordanian Private Tours led by Fares
We approached Jordanian Private Tours with our own itinerary for a 4 day private tour. They were very open to fulfilling our needs and also gave some additional advice to ensure we had the best experience. Overall they were brilliant to deal with and arrange our private tour. Our private driver was Fares and he picked us up from the airport taking us to our hotel in Amman for the first night. Next day our fantastic tour started with Fares. Over the next 4 days we visited Wadi Rum, Petra, Madaba, Mt Nebo the Dead Sea and then back into Amman for viewing of the major sites, before heading back to the airport. Fares was a great driver, but more. He offered do much interesting information about what we were viewing and experiencing. He was full of knowledge and experience. Not only that, he was a great guy, very easy to interact with and enjoy his company. If you want to see Jordan in style and comfort without the big bus tours, you need to use Jordanian Private Tours. We very highly recommend Jordanian Private Tours and if you want a great tour, ask for Fares.

Only way to go to Petra
We chose private transportation to Petra, to ensure we got there efficiently and quickly as possible. Our driver Murad, chose the non freeway which cut 20 mins off each way which we greatly appreciated. It took about 2.4 hours each way. He picked us up at the Kempinski Dead Sea and we were off.

Private Petra Round-Trip from Amman: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Amman.
How much does Private Petra Round-Trip from Amman cost?
+
Prices start at $130 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 Private Petra Round-Trip from Amman take?
+
Plan for about 12 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 Private Petra Round-Trip from Amman worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 77 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 32 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 Private Petra Round-Trip 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 Private Petra Round-Trip from Amman suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 12-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Petra Round-Trip from Amman?
+
Around 11 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 12-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Petra Round-Trip 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, Discover Trax Jo Playground and Traffic Park Fun, From Amman :Private or Group Full day tour to Petra. 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.
