We stood outside in the cold for over an hour starting at 3:00 A.M. All of us weren't sure the bus was ever coming. Finally, it did come, but with an hour and a half delay, our time in Petra was cut short. Some of the seats on the bus have broken levers, so you can't recline to sleep. It is a long ride, so pick a seat that works. After the tour, we had little time to look around or take advantage of other opportunities there. We are fast walkers, so we bee-lined it back (not enjoying the site) so we could quickly pick up a couple of t-shirts to take back (10 minutes). After rushing through lunch, we were taken back to the entry point. The person in charge was confused about which bus we were supposed to be on. We changed three times. People - double and triple check that you are on the right bus! We are glad we went, but we needed more time. We knew it was going to be a fast trip, but due to the starting delay, it was worse. And yes, there are delays at the border, etc. that one can never know. I found the ride in Jordan very interesting and fascinating. There is a lot to see if you keep looking and don't fall asleep! I say only take this quick trip if it is the only way it is possible to get there. Other visitors told us that two days was too long. It would be nice to have one day, but roughly three hours is too short. Our guide did the best he could with the time he had. No complaints there.

It was a wonderful adventure like the place visited, a wonder of the world, a little long to get there but it was worth the wait. The guide in Petra was extraordinary!

We arrived at Petra with delay for no obvious reason (other than spending too long at an overpriced souvenir shop) which shortened our visiting time by more than an hour. Camel ride not recommended - overpriced and really only 5 min on the back of a camel, then waiting for the sun to rise right next to camp…

No coordination or safety, the buses are old and caught on fire. The assistants at the borer contracted by La Vacanza Travel are rude and just want money. They beg for tips even if you ask them a question such as “where is the restroom?” DO NOT BOOK

A little pricy and quite a long trip for how long you are there, but when are you going to go otherwise? Worth it! If you can afford it and have the time do an overnight. Petra is SO much bigger than we though, but we enjoyed what we saw. Even the sand storm on the way back. The only thing is, the bus ride from Jordan. They switch at the border. The Israel side was a nice buss, but very crampt. the Jordan bus was maybe from the 70s or 80. Very old and dirty, but it did have AC! just bring some wipes if you are easily offended by dirt!
