Amazing trip! We went on a 6 day private tour as a family with 2 tweens. We covered all of the major sites from Amman, to the North of Jordan for spectacular views of Lake Tiberius, then south to Petra, Aqaba, Wadi Rum, Dead Sea. Freddy was an amazing tour guide who tailored the experience to our pace and connected it all together. Syed was a great driver. Would highly recommend for any family. They offer customized tours beyond what’s listed.

I wanted to tack on a private two-days (one night) itinerary in Jordan at the end of a planned business trip. I contacted PN Tours after I saw them recommended in a guide book, and Mae Badua responded pretty much immediately with some detailed comments and ideas about possibilities - I was very impressed with her helpfulness and responsiveness. I could have squeezed in Dead Sea and Wadi Rum, but after some discussion with Mae, I decided to concentrate on just Petra. Really enjoyed the trip, and it was nice to not rush Petra. Very happy too with my driver Saber - very pleasant and friendly, and we had some nice conversation!

It’s hardly necessary to sing the praises of a visit to Petra, and it is everything, and more, that we’d been led to expect. No, this review is entirely about Petra By Nights Tours as a company. Travelling with my wife, adult daughter, and son-in-law we had an entirely too short visit to Jordan planned, only 4 nights, and we had decided beforehand to base oursleves in Aqaba for it’s proximity to Petra and Wadi Rum. What we envisioned and hoped for was a pickup at 6am at our hotel in Aqaba with a driver and guide. Multiple efforts beforehand, through multple tour companies, in the US, Israel and Jordan all proved fruitless and frustrating as most transports/groups leave from Eilat when coming to Petra from Israel, and they are geared to larger groups. By luck I found Petra by Night while in Tel-Aviv, contacted them, and the whole experience was top-notch. Ms. Harlene in the Amman office responded to our email request promptly, was very responsive in terms of adjusting the price quoted as we had ‘Jordan Passes’ (highly recommended, btw), and totally clear about our plans. Sure enough, our driver, Ali, was waiting in our hotel lobby promptly at 6am. He was more than pleasant, well informed, had no agenda regards taking us to a ‘tourist stop’ coming or going, and arranged for a guide (unnecessary IMHO) once we arrived at the entrance to the Petra site. Moreover, when he encountered van trouble which delayed his meeting us at the end of the day, a quick phone call had a substitute driver there in short order, with Ali meeting us half-way back to Aqaba beside himself with apologies. In short, this company deserves the highest possible praise in terms of their providing service, being flexible, honest and totally delivering on the wants/needs of their clients. Thank you Petra nights, for a memorable experience; I look forward to a return visit to Jordan, one of longer duration, and you will be my first contact when planning that trip!

We had a fantastic 4 days tour of Jordan. First day was Mt. Nebo and mosaic map followed the crusader castle. Second day we spent almost the whole day in Petra with a personalised tour guide and had late lunch (mansaf) at Mom's Recipe. Third day we went to Wadi Rum with another personalised tour guide in the desert then we drove to Dead Sea Fourth day we went to Citadel and Roman theatre in Amman The tour guide was dedicated to us at most critical times. There were also appointed guide for each important sites eg Petra and Wadi Rum. The timing suits our routine and each journey was performed in a timeframe acceptable to us. We had a guide which could entertain us in terms of cuisine in Jordan. We had the best lamb BBQ and mansaf rice. Overall this trip was one of my best holiday.
