I highly recommend Classic Wadi Rum tours, all of the positive things you read are true. I took a 2 day package, staying in Amman the night of my international arrival, then stated I Petra my 2nd night, then drove back late and took international flight home. I felt I saw a good portion while I was there and am happy, but could certainly have spent more time. I was met right at the airport and the greeter couldn’t have been more helpful to get me through customs. The driver taking me to the hotel didn’t speak English very well so at roughly 2:00am I email Andrea and said I couldn’t communicate with the driver and by 8:00am I had a new driver (Haithum) and wow was he great, he truly made the adventure worth while. He spoke very good English, knew his way around, had plenty of stories and made the drive to Petra very comfortable, even encouraged me to play my American tunes via blue on his car stereo. I had worked with Andrea before hand that if there was time I would very much like to see Mt. Nebo and potentially even the Dead Sea. She gave me a very reasonable price and said that I could add that on once I was underway depending on how much time we had. Haithum took care of the rest. Andrea and her operations manager checked in via phone on my first day while on the way to Petra which I thought was outstanding, they both wanted to just make sure that everything was going well. Once in Petra, my driver helped get me into my hotel, (Edom Hotel - another awesome idea, no need to book the 3 time more expensive Montevide as Edom is nice and only 1 minute further). Once in the hotel Haithum waited while I checked in then he walked me to the visitors center and helped me get my ticket. I arranged for a guide through Andrea (highly suggest this), but only for one day. The guide was awesome, told me everything I ever wanted to know. All and all, I could have had a better experience. If you are going to Jordan for a reasonable price and a custom tour call/email Andrea at Classic Wadi Rum Tours. You won’t be disappointed. Thanks, one satisfied customer!
