Our consultant with Jordan Select (Ms Suha) arranged an excellent 2-week tour for our first visit to Jordan with a private car & driver. We rarely use agencies, preferring to plan our trips to suit ourselves. However - following such great Tripadvisor reviews we felt we should give the Agency a try! Presently in Aqaba, we have seen most of the important Jordanian sites and will return to Amman for our last few nights. Hotels they chose worked well, most were geared to large bus tours which didn’t impact on our stay. W were delightful ‘camps’ - glamping at its very best! The driver (Halil) was safe, courteous, always on time and we couldn’t fault him! Anyone who can cope with all the unmarked speed bumps without jeopardising the well-being of his passengers deserves a medal! The car was clean, modern and large enough to fit 2 suitcases in the trunk. His road safety awareness was excellent.

Safely back home and by now well back into our daily routines, I would like to take the opportunity to express our warmest gratitude, appreciation and respect, in the aftermath of our tour/trip to Amman & Petra. A great 'thank you' is in order to all of the people of 'Jordan select tours' whose team work has rendered our holiday trip unforgettable and a special mention to Ms Suha, for being so good and explanatory through the prodedure (prior to our arrival), but especially for choosing for us that amazing gem of theirs, working as a driver, part guide, part assistant, part friend/brother/host/ - you name it and he became it... We have had our quite big share of travelling around the world, and have had to charter touring agents' driving services, across the continents, but Mr Ibrahim Fakhoury is by far the top of the top [safest - most positive thinking - calmest - well informed/updated, most helpful and anticipating to each and every minor need/detail that might come up (with the list going on and on...)]. Trust Mr Ibrahim to be there on time, to humbly say he is not a guide but only a driver when - in fact- we have had professional guides that knew less or were not as updated as he was, trust him to respond professionally to unexpected occurrences [perfectly informative when the police had blocked/cordoned off his way into our usual meeting point and had to change our point, remaining absolutely effectively calm and with a problem solving disposition, when our tour car door was violently opened by a roaming retarded kid demanding charity, are only a few off-the-top-of-our-head examples]. We were so blessed to have him...! In an effort, however, to remove any possible doubt from my so positive feedback, as to its objectivity standards, and if I have to find fault with their services, I would only mention that, prior to our arrival in Jordan, we had not been told that it was absolutely necessary to be carrying with us a printed form of our covid health certification, as we wouldn't be let into the aircraft, for there was an Amman representative at our airport, just before the airport gate, not permitting anyone to board the plane, without the printed paper. Luckily, we had been tipped off about it online and we were carrying one...

We spent 1 1/2 days in Petra booked through Jordan Select Tours. Petra was fabulous! Jordan Select provided the absolute best experience possible! We were met at the airport and helped through the visa process. Then our driver, Hasan A., picked us up and drove us to Petra. He was an outstanding driver but also provided excellent background on the Jordanian culture. Samir was our guide in Petra on the 2nd day and was an excellent guide. If you are interested in visiting Jordan, this is the tour group for you!

I had a fantastic trip to Petra with Ahmad Albayaydah. He made sure I had enough cold water, provided Wi-Fi in the car, and connected me with a tour guide in Petra who walked me through the site and explained its history. He even took me on a small detour to Shobak castle! I’ll definitely seek out Jordan Select again the next time I’m in Jordan.

We had a wonderful experience with Ahmad Bayaydah from Jordan Selected Tours during our 2 days adventure in Jordan visiting Petra, Jerash and Dead Sea. Ahmad was super responsible and helpful resolving all questions and issues during the trip as well as providing a lot of interesting facts and details along the route. His car is in a very good condition and we were provided with water, juices, local phone and WiFi along the way. I strongly recommend Ahmad as a driver and guide in Jordan!

First I want to say that this tour company went above and beyond in helping to design the perfect trip for 4 people. They were so accommodating with our requests and itinerary. As it turns out, our trip was to commence just in front of the covid-19 epidemic and 3 of my friends decided to bail on my at the last minute, but as this was a trip I had planned and my heart was already in Jordan--I went solo! Jordan Select was VERY accommodating again and made the arrangements for me to travel solo and have the most extraordinary experience. I would do it again and encourage others to do this too. Solo was fantastic--my personal guide and driver was fantastic, each of the site guides at Petra and Wadi Rum were amazing. The van was roomy and clean, and Firas was my wonderful driver and had perfect english and good knowledge about the US, Jordan, the world. He was a good conversationalist and led me through the experience like a kind brother. To say the least--I'm completely in love with Jordan and hope to return. I will use Jordan Select again....if they will have me!!!

Arrived in Amman where we were met by a Jordan Select agnet, driver and car. Toured Amman, Jerash, Ajlun, Madaba, Mt Nebo, Shobuck Castle, 2 Days in Petra, Jeep tour of Wadi Rum and last night on the Dead Sea. We had an excellent driver and vehicle. He was knowledgeable, friendly, flexibile and helpful. Our hotels were very good to excellent with good locations. Time at each site was great, not rushed. This was a low season tour so crowds were small, weather was good for the time of year. This is the second tour I've had with Jordan Select. I highly recommend them and would definitely use them again.

Firstly, I can not praise Piruza at Jordan Select enough. She worked tirelessly to help plan and then continued with the same level of support throughout our six day tour. The hotels selected were good to great, the only difference being the staffing in them. Our driver, Monther, is a keeper. His efficient yet friendly manner allowed us all to relax on the long road trips between sites and he was an excellent restaurant guide! The service where we were met at the airport (airside) was wonderful as when you’re travelling to a new country it’s always a little daunting. Our first hotel, The Boutique house in Amman was wonderful, rooms were sizeable, spotless and the staff were amazing. The next morning we hopped into the car, with wifi, and headed to Madaba and Mt Nebo. Stepping back to biblical times and in the footsteps of Moses was awe inspiring. Our guide, Ziad, in Petra, was full of knowledge and kept us moving but seemingly without hurry. When he left us, long after the allocated time, he suggested a worthwhile exploration for the day with the words “and that will be enough for you”. In total we spent a glorious 7.5 hours exploring and it was “enough”. We couldn’t believe there was so much to do there. Could have easily spent two more days there, Staying out in the desert at Wadi Rum was amazing, we were away from most of the camps and the three hour tour Takes in places that can be a bit crowded and litter strewn, but our driver took us to a spot well clear of others, we collected dried wood and built a fire, enjoying wonderful tea whilst watching the sunset. We stayed in the luxotel Bubble hotel, in our own little Martian pods! We loved tramping around in the Bedouin cloaks that kept us toasty warm in the desert night. The SKY is unbelievable. Our final night was at the Dead Sea, we stayed at the Hilton and this was a beautiful way to end our trip, floating in the sea and then a mud bath. Just wished I realised how cold the shower was going to be... I’d have used slightly less mud! Thank you Piruza, thank you to all the Jordan Select team.

Easyjet now offer 'cheap' flights to Jordan and having planned to go there for years, it gave us the impetus to go. However I knew I would need some assistance once there. We are in our 50's and were taking our 20 year old 'children' with us. Having looked at TA , I chose Jordan Select and could not be more pleased. They were very helpful in planning our itinerary, and allowed me to 'swap in' items I wanted to do - i.e. we wanted a 5 star hotel for our first night, and with a few tweaks I had planned my perfect trip. I paid the 25% deposit by credit card, and kept my fingers crossed that I had not sent my money in to an abyss ( its always a risk I know ). It was fantastic that when we got off the plane and in to the airport there was someone standing with a card with my name - even before immigration - to wizz us through the fast track, and to our driver/guide in the car park. From then on everything was perfect. Jordan is a fabulous country, and the tour we had, allowed us to see the best of it. We agreed our starting times for each morning and had our private guide help us from place to place - Alaa recommended where to eat, who the best local guide was, and what not to miss. If you have a desire to go to Jordan , go with it, and Jordan Select will ensure that you get to see the best of it.

Thank you to Victoria and her team and our driver Wael. We had an amazing trip that was well organized. All of the guides were professional and the accommodation outstanding. Couldn’t recommend this company highly enough.

We splurged and had the private guided tour. We were meet at the airport and went right through customs, NO PROBLEM. We had our hotel find us a private taxi to take us to Jaresh, then Ibrahim took us to Petra, Little Petra, a Bedoan camp in the dessert for an overnight, next to the Dead Sea Spa, lastly to the airport. I will write separate reviews for each of these. Ibrahim has been doing this for 14 years and knows his tours and speaks very good English. He explained how Jordan is surrounded with with countries in conflict, but NOT Jordan. We felt safe and welcomed every where we went. It was nice to have a private driver as we could go at our own pace, and skip sites when we had had enough. We paid $1200 and reserved out own hotels using sky miles accumulated over the years. Ibrahim was learning about new places with us staying at these hotels. We found out about the Jordan ... jacket, for lack of a better term, made in Jordan. It is wool lined on the inside and camel leather on the outside. Good for sitting around the house watching TV. Ibrahim got us each one when he went back to Amman while we took in the mud baths at Dead Sea Spa.

Absolutely amazing. We were whizzed through the airport skipping the queue with the visa all prepared and ready. And the most lovely and professional guide who took us around all of Jordan showing us the sites. Couldn't recommended Jordan as a country or JS as a tour guide enough

We are a family of 6 with four kids 10 years and under, the youngest 10 months. With this tour everything was so smooth and hassle free. Ala, our driver, made all our trips effortless, which with four kids is no easy task. In three days we saw the dead sea, Petra, Bethany (Jesus' Baptism site), Ammam, and Mt. Nebo, as well as had time to relax by the pool. Amazing with four kids!

We were scheduled to do a 10 day tour of the Holy Land and decided to add a few days in Jordan on the front end of the trip. JST helped us plan the best way to spend 48 hours and executed the itinerary flawlessly. Communication prior to arrival was prompt and courteous. Once we arrived, we met the representative before passport control and were escorted promptly through the diplomatic line as our travel VISAs had been arranged in advance. We encountered a situation at baggage claim as binoculars are not well received (something to do with magnification properties) but the JST rep helped us navigate the issue and we were able to leave with our bags and the binoculars. Our driver was courteous and prompt. He provided local guidance and was patient answering all our questions. He took us to the hotel in Amman upon our arrival and provided some thoughts what to do downtown that evening (outside of the tour). Day 2 was spent experiencing Petra. It’s a 3 hour drive each way from Amman but Wasam kept us entertained providing flavor of the country and background on what we were seeing. We met a local guide to see Petra itself and he gave us a very thorough tour before providing options for what we should try to see on our own. The driver was waiting for us in the prearranged spot when we finished our site tour. Day 3 was spent at Jerash and Mt Nebo before being returned to the airport. We fit a lot in to a short time period and wouldn’t hesitate to use JST’s services when we return to the historic and friendly country.

We carefully planned a five day guided tour with Jordan Select Tours. We were met at the Amman airport by our guide Amer and he catered to us for the entire trip along with our excellent driver Omar. We visited all of the fantastic sites in Jordan including Jerash, Madaba, Petra, Wadi Rum, Mt Nebo, Dead Sea, and so many other places. Our guide Amer was professional on so many levels. His knowledge of history, culture, archeology and all things Jordanian was fantastic, not to mention his wit and kind manner. Nairooz in the main office helped to design the trip and many details including confirming dinner reservations and calling me along the way to make sure everything was okay. I traveled extensively on six continents and utilized many private tour companies. Jordan Select Tours is an excellent company that will make your adventure in Jordan the trip of a lifetime. I recommend them without hesitation and request Amer for your guide if he is available!

What a treat! Have traveled far and wide and had expectations of nice archeological ruins, but there was so much more! Petra is unbelievable, pictures do not do justice. Wadi Rum and surroundings is going back in history to Moses and Lawrence of Arabia. The beauty of the desert has to be in Jordan! The Bedouin tent (with AC), the camel ride for sunrise and the Bedouin tea are unforgettable. The hotel and snorkeling in Aqaba was tops. The driver assigned to us was so kind and helpful. The local guides superb and the food! Spectacular! Jordan Select Tours rates number one for me, just as good as National Geographic but more intimate. Expect the world!

With Jordan Select you can choose from a variety of tours or they will organize what you would like to see in Jordan. I chose the hotels and they looked after everything. They also saw us through immigration on arrival very efficiently and we had excellent sevice from them at the Israel Jordan Border crossing at Allenby Bridge. Definitely pay for the VIP Service. Our driver Sufian collected us from the aiport and stayed with us for the entire tour. He was wonderful and helped us with small purchases or anything we needed. He was an excellent Ambassador for the company and Jordan. There is a lot of driving to see all the sights, so try and have a day or afternnon off somewhere in the trip.

The most favorite country that we travel with my wife. 6 Days in Jordan so wonderful experience. Amman, Jerash, Mt Nebo, Wadi rum, Petra and Dead Sea. Our private trip wouldn’t have this amazing experience without my guide, Shawki Dahier for the transportation and everything was perfect.

I cannot fault Jordan Select Tours for arranging our amazing tour of Jordan in April 2019 taking in Amman, Petra, Wadi Rum, Agaba and the Dead Sea. A long trip but fully enjoyable thanks to the organisation provided by Jordan Select from my initial enquiry with tours consultant (Suha) who never got tired of updating my frequent requests promptly, to our driver/guide (Hani) always on time and very knowledgeable who took great care of our party of 6 from pick up at airport and dropping us back at the end of the tour. I can wholeheartedly recommend Jordan Select Tours for visiting Jordan.
