One of the best tours I have been on I completed the Wonders of Jordan trip in November/December. To say this trip is fantastic is an understatement! Our guide Zaid is one of the most passionate and dedicated tour guides I have ever been with. The things we saw, experienced and went were truely amazing. If you want to see the real Jordan you have to do this trip!

Overall, this trip has a very good itinerary, well informed and influential guides in Ajloun Castle and Petra, was well supported by an invaluable guide and was great value for money. We had a great time and we are influenced to travel Travelisto again. We just have to find the right itinerary – off the everyday beaten track.
