Mohammad Bardaghawi was an excellent driver! he cares about everything!! totally recommended! Petra is beautiful, unfortunately, this tour doesn't include an inner tour through Petra and if you are sensitive with the bad treatment of animals, it's not recommended.

Amman was the perfect driver and conversationalist (English) during my day trip to Petra. The car was clean, new, and the perfect temperature during the 3-hour drive (each way) from Amman. He stopped for snacks, bathroom, and pictures at appropriate times. I would highly recommend.

Petra is an amazing place, it is a must see. An incredible natural and historical site. Sadly, the site is being slowly degraded by too many huts and stands selling all sorts of things, so it spoils the views a bit. It took 3 hours to walk to the Monastery, but so worth it! We were almost an hour late to meet our driver Hatem, but he waited for us and got us back to Amman :) Hatem was polite, cheerful, punctual and was an excellent driver! He was waiting exactly where he said he would be waiting and was helpful throughout. We would certainly recommend R&H VIP Transportation services for this kind of day trip.

Excellent trip. Shadi, my driver, was a wonderful host — provided water, short periods of quiet, insightful conversation (which I genuinely appreciated), and even offered advice about the proper way to handle interactions once inside of Petra. The tour guide I was given (I think his name was Sami) was also excellent - extremely knowledgeable and took plenty of time to share the cultural and archaeological history that Petra is so rich in. I unfortunately fell for one of the Bedouin horses upon exiting Petra, placed very strategically to catch out-of-shape tourists like myself in desperation — and after the (maybe) 10 minute horseback ride out of the canyon, was hassled for FAR more money than I’d care to admit in a “tip”, with the Bedouin guide going so far as looking inside of my bag and asking me for more money point-blank. Despite that offputting experience, I enjoyed my time and would recommend this for anyone visiting Amman on a tight schedule.

Perfect day with the wonderful Hussam. He contacted us the day before and was just a perfect and patient driver and friend for the day. Took us to Petra, helped us to find a guide, waited patiently for us to return and drove safely and respectfully the whole day Perfect, A+++

It was great experience with our driver Mohammad Bardaghawi He took us to Hot air balloon ride ...that was surprise as it was the first day of their launch. And we got it at great deal with sweets :) Also overall he was very good guide and made our trip memorable experience Thank you

We had a brilliant day in Petra. Our driver Shadi was fantastic - knowledgeable, friendly and so helpful. He contacted us the day before to confirm arrangements which was reassuring. On the day of the trip itself, he listened to our ideal itinerary and worked with us to achieve this and improve it. He gave us great tips for exploring Petra. Petra itself is as incredible as we had hoped it would be. Absolutely not to be missed. And with Shadi’s help we really had a perfect day there. Thank you Shadi and everyone at the company!

Unbelievable day out in Petra from Amman, exceptionally smooth aswell. Younes arrived before 8am and we made it to Petra in 2.5hrs or so taking a quick coffee break and to buy water/snacks and other items at non tourist prices. He gave very clear directions on the do's and don't's of Petra, which proved very useful. I had more than enough time to walk around the full city, and returned back to Amman very smoothly after he bought me another coffee on the way home. Was exhausted from the sun so slept for most of the journey home, but all in all a great day seeing everything I wanted with very clear direction and everything being on time and smooth.

Witg this review I wanna support this company that provided me with one of my longest and dearest childhood dreams which came true! Rami was our driver and he texted me on WhatsApp 2 days prior the trip providing me with details. The pick up was very smooth and easy. He came 15 minutes prior our timing and waited for us in front of the hotel. On top of that he explained us professionally and very competently about all the sight seeings. On top of that he brought us to other places on our way to Petra too! Amazing! He speaks perfectly English and provided us with Wi-Fi in the car. His driving is amazing and you don’t feel the long drive from Amman at all. He waited for us until we finished the Petra at night show and made sure that we are ok at all times. I thank you personally again Rami for this amazing experience 😍 I will defo book again with this company as soon as I am back to Amman 😁

From the very beginning, we felt very well looked after having booked this tour. All communication was excellent through WhatsApp to arrange the pick up point and time of collection in both directions. Hassan Al-khateb was an excellent driver, friendly and knowledgeable. The car was comfortable equipped with Wi-Fi and had plenty of water/drinks provided. A well timed itinerary allowing you to experience Petra at your own pace. The car journey passed very quickly with a stop on the way and return back to Amman for a refreshment break and some facts about various points throughout the duration. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend this tour or attend another one with Hassan.
